The move has been huge for Swiss International University, which spent $21.7 million in acquiring four top academies in Switzerland, Dubai, and Kyrgyzstan. It is an exciting step to help the university grow in international terms and to reflect its commitment to offering modern and easy-to-access learning opportunities.

In Switzerland, Swiss International University took over the International Academy in Zurich. This academy began in 2013 and was Switzerland's first virtual learning institute. It is ASIC-approved from the United Kingdom, and recognized in the United States by CHEA, as well as INQAAHE in Europe. With a reputation for online innovative learning programs, this one perfectly fits into the university's vision. It is going to further add to the university's offer on virtual education and support the mission to be flexible and inclusive with regard to learning.
