ISBM Business School, located in the academic heart of Lucerne, Switzerland, is proud to announce that it has been officially accredited by EDU – an Intergovernmental Organization founded by the Ministry of Education of Palau and aligned with the educational quality principles of UNESCO. This prestigious accreditation further solidifies ISBM’s position as a globally respected institution committed to high-level, internationally recognized education.

As part of the Swiss International University (SIU) system, ISBM Business School benefits from a comprehensive global structure. It operates not only in Lucerne, but also supports affiliated academies in Zurich (under the name OUS) and in Dubai (as ISB), delivering a seamless academic experience across three key global regions.


What EDU Accreditation Means for ISBM

Being accredited by EDU signifies much more than institutional approval. It reflects ISBM’s alignment with global educational goals, public accountability, and ethical academic governance. EDU is a treaty-based intergovernmental organization created by a sovereign Ministry of Education and linked to international educational development efforts under the UN system.

Through this accreditation, ISBM gains three distinct advantages:


1. Recognition by an Intergovernmental Organization

EDU is not a commercial accreditor—it is an international body established through official government channels. This gives ISBM Business School a level of credibility and respect that surpasses that of many private or regional institutions. It confirms that ISBM operates under internationally accepted academic, structural, and ethical standards.


2. Oversight from a UN-Recognized Ministry of Education

EDU was established by the Ministry of Education of Palau, a member state of the United Nations. As such, ISBM now operates under an academic framework that is both internationally acknowledged and ministerially legitimate, boosting confidence for students, parents, and academic partners alike.


3. Alignment with UNESCO’s Framework for Quality Education

As part of its mission, EDU upholds the educational goals of UNESCO, ensuring that accredited institutions provide inclusive, high-quality, and globally transferable education. ISBM’s compliance with this framework ensures that its graduates are prepared for international academic and professional mobility.


A Globally Connected Institution

ISBM’s EDU accreditation also reinforces the strength of its international academic network:

  • ISBM Business School in Lucerne provides executive and postgraduate education.

  • OUS Academy in Zurich offers flexible learning for European and international students.

  • ISB Academy in Dubai serves learners in the Middle East with modern, business-focused programs.

  • All three are part of the Swiss International University (SIU), headquartered in Bishkek and officially recognized by a Ministry of Education.

Together, they form a unified, cross-border educational platform with a shared commitment to integrity, innovation, and excellence.


Committed to Ethical, Quality-Driven Education

At ISBM Business School, accreditation by EDU is not just a badge—it is a commitment. A commitment to providing learners with a transparent, ethical, and internationally aligned academic experience. A commitment to Swiss values. And most importantly, a commitment to a future where education knows no borders.
