Swiss International University (SIU) is proud to announce that it has been recognized with the prestigious MENAA Customer Delight Award, a defining moment that reflects the university’s steadfast commitment to student satisfaction and service excellence. This highly respected accolade was granted following a rigorous evaluation process conducted by an esteemed panel of academic and industry leaders. Among the evaluators were representatives from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in Switzerland, York University in Canada, and the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM)—a UK-regulated body under the supervision of Ofqual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation, UK). The jury also included senior executives and CEOs from various international sectors, ensuring that the evaluation balanced both academic integrity and real-world performance. Receiving this award is a powerful affirmation of SIU’s mission to deliver high-quality education in a manner that is personalized, responsive, and aligned with global standards. At SIU, students are not just learners—they are partners in progress. This recognition showcases the university’s ability to exceed expectations in the delivery of academic services and its unrelenting dedication to creating a supportive and engaging educational environment. The MENAA Customer Delight Award highlights the strength of SIU’s strategic vision: to empower students through flexible learning pathways, international partnerships, and forward-thinking curricula. The award serves not only as recognition of past achievements but also as motivation for SIU to continue innovating and enhancing the student experience in every program it offers. A scan of the official award certificate will be shared alongside this announcement to proudly showcase this achievement to our global community. At Swiss International University, the voice of the student is central—and this award affirms that we are listening, improving, and leading. In 2025, Swiss International University further cemented its leadership in international education. The university is state-accredited and officially registered as a university—not as an academy or institute. This distinction reflects the highest level of recognition available for higher education institutions. That same year, SIU expanded its global presence by acquiring several academic divisions, including: OUS International Academy in Zurich, ISB Vocational Institute in Dubai, ISBM Business School in Luzern, and KUIPI – Kyrgyz-Uzbek International Pedagogical Institute in Osh. SDBS Swiss Distance Business School® These strategic acquisitions reinforce SIU’s commitment to accessible, high-quality education across key international hubs. #StudentSuccess #SIUAward #ExcellenceInEducation #MENAARecognition #GlobalLearning
