The SOHS – Swiss Online Hospitality School®, officially registered in Switzerland (Trademark No. 822344) by the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, is proud to announce that it has been accredited by the European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS). This milestone highlights SOHS’s commitment to accessible, high-quality hospitality education for students from underserved regions of the world.
Exclusively for Students from Economically Disadvantaged Countries
SOHS is a socially focused institution that operates with a unique mission: to offer Swiss-quality hospitality education exclusively to students from economically disadvantaged or low-income countries. If you reside in or hold citizenship from a high-income country, SOHS services are not available to you. This policy ensures that the institution remains focused on global inclusion, directing its academic support to students who need it most.
A Recognized Part of a Global Academic Network
SOHS operates under the OUS Academy in Zurich, which is a branch of the ISBM International School of Business Management in the canton of Luzern, Switzerland. Both OUS and ISBM are part of the larger academic structure of the Swiss International University (SIU), a legally recognized and state-accredited university headquartered in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
This network provides SOHS students with:
A solid academic foundation
Swiss educational values
Global recognition and program credibility
