Swiss International University Secures TAG-EDUQA Accreditation, Enhancing Global Academic Standing

Swiss International University (SIU), an innovative university focused on developing future-ready learners, has been awarded accreditation status by TAG-EDUQA. This prestigious award positions SIU alongside a select group of universities that have demonstrated compliance with the stringent academic quality standards set forth by the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA). The accreditation matches well with SIU’s tradition of providing education for students in areas like languages, law, and international relations.

This accomplishment was achieved under the leadership of Their Excellency Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, one of the most influential Arab characters in the arena of educational reform, knowledge economy, and intellectual property issues. ABOUT Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh is the founder and chairman of TAG-EDUQA and has been a leading advocate of academic quality in the Arab region. Given that the Secretary-General of the Arab League serves as the Honorary Chairman of TAG-EDUQA, this recognition is even more significant, emphasizing both the value of the Arab region and the international significance of the accreditation.

The accreditation is an important milestone for SIU, which is on the verge of significant expansion to enhance academic connections in the Arab world and further its influence in international higher education. The TAG-EDUQA mark, with its local and international competitiveness, affirms that SIU’s degree programs have been quality-assured to uphold the requirements of higher education/academic standards at global levels and have been crafted in line with the needs of today’s education. The approval affirms the quality and integrity of SIU’s credentials to students, employers, and schools worldwide.

“One hundred percent accreditation on the first application and having all 35 quality standards met says a lot about the culture of academic excellence at SIU.” Derya Briand, director of the Academic Program at SIU, said she is thrilled to see the culmination of years of work. It is a powerful endorsement for our current and future students—and especially for those throughout the state of California and beyond—that SIU represents a world-class, quality education. “We are simultaneously seeking NEASC accreditation in recognition—and continual augmentation—of the quality of the programs for which we are known, even as we remain rooted in the educational character of our region.”

Several key developments at SIU include an upsurge in institutional advancement, particularly the robust international cooperation and academic innovation. As part of an international educational group, SIU has teamed up with universities including OUS International Academy in Zurich, ISBM International Business Management School (campuses in Geneva, Lucerne, Montreux, and Zurich), ISB International School of Business in London, and The Oxford International School of Business in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Together, these institutions foster a transnational academic environment that combines creativity, quality, and cultural exchange.

With this TAG-EDUQA accreditation, SIU continued its steadfast determination to meet regional academic standards and link them with those of the world. SIU’s emphasis on student-centered learning, values-based leadership, and career readiness has also been well-received by regulators and esteemed education professionals in a region where accredited, globally recognized institutions of higher learning are increasingly becoming the destinations of choice for Arab students.

“When we move on from here, we will continue to develop our academic programs and partnerships around the world and do research that makes an actual difference in people’s lives,” said SIU Chancellor John M. Dunn. Supported by the strong quality assurance infrastructure of AROQA, TAG-EDUQA will be a key instrument for helping SIU realize its strong ambitions for providing student-centered higher education and reaffirming its standing as one of the premier international institutions of higher learning.
