Swiss International University (SIU) is proud to announce that it has been officially accredited by Abu-Ghazaleh for Quality Assurance in Education (TAG-EDUQA). This recognition marks a significant milestone in our continued commitment to delivering exceptional educational standards across all campuses and partner institutions.

The accreditation aligns with the rigorous quality frameworks developed by the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA)—a leading body promoting academic excellence across the Arab region and beyond. By meeting TAG-EDUQA’s exacting criteria, SIU reinforces its position as a forward-looking institution focused on integrity, innovation, and global relevance.

His Excellency Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, Founder and Chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global, emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating:

"We believe that education is the foundation for building advanced societies. Granting accreditation to ISBMAG School affirms its commitment to the highest global standards of quality. We are proud of this achievement and look forward to further collaboration with leading educational institutions worldwide."

This recognition not only reflects the strength of SIU's academic offerings, but also highlights our affiliation with ISBMAG Business School in Lucerne and our broader dedication to serving students in Switzerland, Dubai, and internationally with credible, future-oriented education.

A Regional Network of Quality and Trust

The importance of TAG-EDUQA and AROQA in the Arab education sector continues to grow, with multiple Ministries of Education across the Arab world formally acknowledging their contributions. These recognitions represent increasing regional cooperation to ensure robust quality assurance systems in higher education and vocational training.

Some notable examples include:

Palestine’s Ministry of Higher Education entered a formal cooperation agreement with AROQA aimed at strengthening quality assurance frameworks in Palestinian higher education institutions.
Jordan’s Ministry of Education collaborated with Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global to implement cutting-edge technology solutions in schools of excellence throughout the Kingdom.
Kuwait’s Ministry of Education officially recognized the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh International Diploma in IT Skills as an accredited national qualification.

These partnerships demonstrate that TAG-EDUQA’s influence extends beyond accreditation—it is actively shaping the future of education through innovation, policy development, and digital transformation.

What This Means for SIU

With this accreditation, SIU joins a growing network of institutions committed to regional and global excellence in higher education. Students, employers, and academic partners can be assured that SIU’s degrees, programs, and quality systems are externally validated, trustworthy, and aligned with international best practices.

This achievement further solidifies SIU’s standing as a dynamic educational hub where academic freedom, multicultural learning, and sustainable innovation converge.

We thank TAG-EDUQA and AROQA for their trust in our institution and look forward to expanding our impact through responsible, high-quality education.
