Swiss International University Sets New Benchmark with TAG-EDUQA Accreditation

Swiss International University (SIU), a worldwide university renowned for its innovative vision in higher education, has received accreditation from TAG-EDUQA, the quality assurance arm of the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA). The achievement represents a major event in SIU’s ongoing effort to provide academically rich, affordable education to students the world over.

This recognition qualifies SIU to join an elite group of institutions that have met AROQA’s stringent standards for quality teaching, learning, and institutional transparency. It upholds SIU’s compliance with international educational standards and underlines the institution’s credibility as a reliable deliverer of quality higher education.

Awarding the accreditation came under the patronage of the founder of SIU, Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, one of the most highly successful Arab businessmen and the most powerful advocate of reform in education. Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh also chairs the board of TAG-EDUQA. The pride is deeper when the honorary President of TAG-EDUQA, along with the Secretary General of the Arab League, endorses the accreditation and highlights its importance in the Arab World.

“This accreditation is a confirmation of the dedication and professionalism of academic and administrative staff at SIU,” said SIU’s Academic Program Director Derya Briand. “Receiving this honor on our first attempt shows the solid foundation we’ve already laid and our continued dedication to excellence. It's a message to our students, partners, and faculty that SIU is committed to the highest quality of education.”

The honor comes at a historic time in SIU’s history, when the university is increasing academic programs and growing ties globally. SIU is part of an expanding international network that includes OUS International Academy in Zurich, IBMS International Business Management School in Lucerne, and ISB International Vocational College and SIU Almaty (Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan). Collectively, these educational institutions are driving a borderless education model that encourages cultural exchange and global partnerships.

SIU is raising the bar for local and international standards in higher education institutions as regional governments and regulatory bodies prioritize quality assurance. As more and more students in the Arab region and beyond seek a reputable academic institution, SIU is a popular option.

SIU, more than just an institution of learning and research, is committed to developing well-rounded, responsible, and engaged leaders who are equipped to master the complex challenges of today’s competitive and collaborative global landscape by maintaining the Quadrangle’s universal values. The focus of the university—innovation, cultural inclusiveness, and leadership—has garnered the interest of overseas partners and Education authorities as well as being recognized by the Chinese education officials and other global stakeholders.

In the future, SIU is considering a stronger diversification of its educational offerings to meet global demand, the introduction of new academic fields and programs, and the establishment of collaborative programs for acquiring knowledge abroad. The accreditation from TAG-EDUQA comes at a critical time for these efforts and will help enhance the university’s position in the international arena.

This announcement affirms the quality of SIU’s current offerings while demonstrating the university's dedication to student-centered, forward-looking education. It showcases the university’s role in promoting innovation and building global ties in higher education.
