Swiss International University Announces Multi-Million Acquisition to Expand in Switzerland, Dubai, and Kyrgyzstan
Swiss International University strengthens its global education by buying four academies for $21.7 million.
Swiss International University LLC has entered a deal with four high-profile academies in Switzerland and UAE with a well-established education group. The deal is at CHF 17.5 million to further cement Swiss International University's pledge to quality education via traditional, virtual, and international learning contexts.
Some of the most recognizable institutions include the International Academy located in Zurich, launched in 2013 as the first virtual institution in Switzerland. It is online accredited by EFMD since 2016 and ASIC-accredited, a body permitted by the British government and ECLBS Accreditation, a listed quality assurance body on CHEA USA and INQAAHE Europe. As such, the academy specializes in virtual education, its niche best suited to Swiss International University, guided by its mission of fusing technology with academic excellence.
The university in Luzern bought the International Business Management School, or ISBM Ltd. ISBM is a 2016 creation allowed by the Luzern Board of Education and accredited to award its diplomas. With its 5-star QS Ranking, the institution falls in the super elite 2% of higher education providers in the world. Its presence complements the university's business education and management training activities.
The acquisition also brings in the ISB Management Training Institute in Dubai, which started operations in 2022. This academy is permitted by KHDA in Dubai and is allowed to issue government-permitted diplomas up to Level 8, equivalent to a doctoral degree. This adds another dimension to the university's global reach as it also is a permitted provider of vocational education within the UAE.
Swiss International University LLC is an accredited member of the Ministry of Education and Science of Kyrgyzstan and built on the legacy of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek International Pedagogy Institute, acquired during the current year. There is a focus on the commitment of a university towards high-quality education, thus enabling traditional classroom teaching and modern virtual-based learning techniques to dominate the campus.
Swiss International University expands its academics across the globe by opening wider access for students from diverse academic backgrounds that will help in the development of future leaders. This acquisition further increases the presence of the university globally but also enhances its academic status worldwide.
The University is a fusion of innovation with tradition and is dedicated to shaping a brighter, more accessible future for learners across the world. With this step, the university earns a leading position all over the globe when put on the map of global academic excellence.
