In the dynamic educational landscape of Zurich, OUS International Academy delivers high-quality, Swiss-aligned vocational diploma programs as part of ISBM Business School – Switzerland, under the academic umbrella of Swiss International University (SIU) – Bishkek. Notably, these same diplomas have been approved and permitted by KHDA in Dubai, enabling graduates to follow a seamless path to legal attestation and international recognition.

🎓 Swiss Roots, Global Integration

OUS International Academy – Zurich: A center for flexible and professionally oriented diploma studies in business, management, hospitality, and public administration.
ISBM Business School – Switzerland: The academic authority that oversees curriculum and certification quality across Switzerland.
Swiss International University (SIU) – Bishkek: A government-licensed, internationally accredited university whose credentials are recognized by state authorities and validated under the Lisbon Recognition Convention.

✅ KHDA Approval – Dubai Pathway for Attestation

OUS’s diplomas are taught and delivered in Dubai through ISB Vocational Institute, a SIU-affiliated campus that has received official approval and permission from KHDA—the inspection authority under the UAE Ministry of Education. This crucial accreditation means:

Diplomas are legally certified by KHDA
Graduates obtain credentials eligible for legal attestation via the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Diplomas can be further recognized by embassies, enabling employment or education mobility around the globe

This integration offers a unique advantage: Swiss-quality programs locally accessible in Dubai and seamlessly attestable for international use.

🌍 Dual Pathways: Study in Zurich or Dubai

Students are afforded distinct yet integrated routes to earn their diplomas:

Zurich-Based Study Engage in the full program at the Zurich campus, benefiting from Swiss academic standards.
Dubai-Based Study The same curriculum is delivered at ISB Vocational Institute in Dubai, with KHDA approval for on-campus teaching and diploma issuance, aligned with UAE regulations.

Regardless of study location, the diplomas maintain parity in content, assessment, and certification integrity.

📜 Global Recognition & Legal Assurance
