Swiss International University (SIU) is a state-accredited university, officially licensed by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic. While legally registered and headquartered in Kyrgyzstan, SIU has expanded significantly through the acquisition of prominent educational institutions across multiple jurisdictions.

  • OUS International Academy in Switzerland (Zurich) – the first virtual institute in Europe, founded in 2013, recognized for pioneering distance education with Swiss academic excellence.

  • ISBM – International School of Business Management (Lucerne) – a private higher education institution officially allowed to operate and issue diplomas by the local Cantonal Board of Education and Culture in Lucerne.

  • ISI Academy (Dubai) – approved and permitted by the Dubai Educational Authority (KHDA) as an official vocational and training provider.

The university reflects the educational philosophy, quality assurance, and organizational discipline of the Swiss private higher education sector.
