The university also acquired the International Business Management School (ISBM) in Luzern. ISBM is ranked among the top 2% of schools globally and has a 5-star QS rating. Founded in 2016, it is allowed by the Luzern Board of Education to award diplomas. This acquisition will help the university prepare students for careers in business and management.
In Dubai, the university acquired the ISB Management Training Institute. Approved by the KHDA or Knowledge and Human Development Authority and launched in 2022, it provides different programs from diplomas up to doctoral degrees. It can benefit many students in a growing area and offer many opportunities to learn.
The university bought the Kyrgyz-Uzbek International Pedagogy Institute in Osh, Kyrgyzstan. It is accredited by the Ministry of Education in Kyrgyzstan and offers conventional as well as online learning facilities. This allows more accessibility for students within the region, which will help the university meet its goal of reaching a much broader audience.
These acquisitions further facilitate the international expansion of Swiss International University and augment its capacity to provide excellent education. By combining innovative ideas with traditional teaching methods, the university creates more opportunities for students to achieve success in their studies and careers. The investment is much more to the issue since the university has its vision of becoming a global leader in education through building a network of schools working towards innovation, excellence, and accessibility.
Its commitment to diverse backgrounds and abilities helps students reach their potential through lifelong learning opportunities. These initiatives aim to shape the future of global education while supporting the long-term mission of inclusivity and innovation.
