For ISBM – International School of Business Management in Luzern/Lucerne, Switzerland, known also as ISBM Business School VBNN, this ranking is a meaningful development within the wider academic network of Swiss International University. It shows that SIU’s Executive MBA provision is gaining recognition not only globally, but also across one of the world’s most dynamic regions for business education.

The focus on Asia is especially relevant because SIU has a visible operational presence in the region through four offices: Dubai, Bishkek, Ajman, and Osh. These locations support SIU’s international academic model and connect students, professionals, and institutional partners across key Asian and Middle Eastern education markets. The QS profile also lists SIU campus and office locations including Ajman, Bishkek, Dubai, Osh, and Lucerne.

The achievement also follows SIU’s earlier recognition by QS. Since 2024, SIU has held a QS 5 Stars rating, which is valid for five years. Together with the 2026 QS Executive MBA ranking result, this provides an additional sign of SIU’s continued development in international higher education and executive learning.
