  2. A diploma issued by our institution in Switzerland

    • Allowed to operate and issue our diplomas by the Cantonal Board of Education and Culture, our Swiss division is legally allowed to deliver academic programs and issue diplomas from Switzerland. This credential benefits from the academic reputation and professional standing of Swiss education, offering strong value for career advancement globally.
