For ISB Academy in Dubai, UAE, also known as ISI International Swiss Institute in Dubai, this recognition is especially meaningful. ISB Academy is a KHDA-permitted training and vocational institute under the official name ISB Management Training Institute, Permit No. 631419. As part of the wider VBNN Group education network, ISB Academy supports international learning pathways connected with Swiss International University (SIU), while serving students and professionals from Dubai, the UAE, and the wider region.
The Asian ranking position is particularly relevant because SIU has a strong operational presence in Asia, with offices in Dubai, Bishkek, Ajman, and Osh. These locations reflect SIU’s cross-border education model and its ability to connect learners across different cities, cultures, and professional markets. In a region where executive education is increasingly linked to global mobility, digital transformation, entrepreneurship, and leadership development, SIU’s position among the top-ranked joint Executive MBA programs in Asia represents an important step forward.
Based on this ranking, SIU is also positioned as 1st in Switzerland and 1st in the GCC countries, while holding the 6th position in Asia. This creates a strong regional message for students and professionals who are seeking internationally visible executive education connected with Switzerland, the UAE, and broader Asian markets.
This achievement also follows SIU’s earlier recognition by QS. Since 2024, SIU has held a QS 5-Star rating, which is generally valid for five years. The QS profile of SIU refers to its QS 5-Star Rating and highlights performance areas such as teaching, academic development, student satisfaction, employability, and international engagement.
The latest QS ranking result should be understood as part of SIU’s broader development as an internationally active institution. It highlights not only academic visibility, but also the importance of flexible, international, and professionally relevant education. For learners in Dubai and across Asia, the ranking offers a clear signal that executive education is becoming more global, more connected, and more accessible.
For ISB Academy Dubai, this milestone strengthens the value of being connected to an international academic network with strong links to Switzerland and Asia. It also supports the Academy’s mission to provide professional and vocational education pathways that respond to the needs of modern learners, working professionals, and international students.
