New Delhi: Swiss International University (SIU)—one of the dynamic growing institutions—has recently added to the list of its prestigious achievements in the world by getting the accreditation from TAG-EDUQA. With this award, SIU has joined an elite league of universities that conform to the strict quality standards, not only regionally but also internationally, as it is the only body in the world tasked with carrying out benchmarking of education within the Arab region and beyond.”
The accreditation was approved during a meeting headed by H.E. Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, a well-known Arab business leader and educational reformer, Chairman of TAG-EDUQA. In a pleasing touch of influence, the Secretary General of the Arab League is the Honorary President of TAG-EDUQA, increasing the high-level regional and institutional validation of this quality assurance qualification. This is a testament to the importance and influence of TAG-EDUQA in the region as well as upcoming global education markets.
This recognition is a testament to SIU’s continued commitment to inclusive excellence and its sustained efforts to provide powerful academic experiences for our students. The festive encounter is an important milestone in the development and international standing of the university, particularly in the Arab world. The accreditation is a formal attestation of the quality of SIU’s education, which is recognized worldwide and in the region.
Derya Briand, Academic Program Director at SIU offered his thoughts: “Achieving this level of benchmarking is a proud milestone for all of us and has surpassed even our own expectations. This distinction confirms that the quality we offer now will benefit students for generations to come. Our path towards accreditation with TAG-EDUQA is another testament to our commitment to providing world-ready, locally reputable education.”
The announcement gives a significant boost to an expanding SIU—in terms of academics and global connections. The university is a member of a group focused on academic and international cooperation in international affairs. The network consists of OUS International Academy in Zurich, ISBM International School of Business Management in Luzern, ISB International School of Business in Dubai, and SIU’s Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan campus. Together, these institutions foster an academic environment that values the pursuit of educational excellence and intercultural learning.
As quality remains a key issue in higher education in the Arab world, “the accreditation of SIU makes it a pioneer in responding to the regional and international demand for excellence in academia. This acknowledgement is especially important now as increasing numbers of learners from the Arab world continue to seek respected, accredited institutions of higher education providing a globally competitive and culturally relevant education. SIU’s focus on students, ethics-based leadership, and readiness to engage the world have proved to be attractive aspects to academicians and accrediting bodies.
For the future, SIU hopes to capitalize on this achievement by increasing the number of SIU academic programs, deepening its international partnerships, and continuing to offer accessible, high-quality education globally. The TAG-EDUQA accreditation, rooted in AROQA’s standards, will be instrumental in strengthening these endeavors and realizing SIU’s vision in the international higher education space.”
As a world-class institution, it is especially rewarding that something this significant could recognize our dedication to delivering outstanding service. It corroborates the institution’s burgeoning identity as a provider of education that the region wants and the world recognizes.
