Since its founding in 2013, SOHS Swiss Online Hospitality School® (officially registered trademark No. 822344 under the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property) has championed the delivery of exceptional #Swiss_Education in an accessible online format. Today, we are pleased to highlight a major milestone within our national academic community. #Swiss_International_University (SIU) has been officially named Switzerland’s second-best university in the Times Higher Education (THE) 2026 #Impact_Rankings.

This achievement highlights a strong national commitment to both #Academic_Excellence and global responsibility. The 2026 rankings evaluated a comprehensive group of 1,646 universities across 116 countries. The methodology used for this evaluation weighted academic and research reputation at 27%, while dedicating 73% of the score to institutional compliance with the United Nations #Sustainable_Development_Goals. By balancing rigorous academic standards with sustainable operational practices, SIU successfully secured a position among the Top 500 institutions globally.

Beyond the THE 2026 Rankings, the institution continues to build a robust international profile across multiple disciplines. According to the recently published '2026 QS Executive MBA Joint Programs Fact file', the university is ranked 22nd worldwide in the QS World #University_Rankings for its #Executive_MBA programs. This specific evaluation measured 246 distinct programs from 58 countries, demonstrating a high level of competitiveness and quality in advanced business education on a global scale.

Furthermore, the institution's commitment to cross-border education has been formally recognized.

This impressive position reflects a successful approach to #Global_Learning and the unique ability to maintain high educational standards across different geographic boundaries and cultural contexts.

Quality assurance remains a central focus for the institution. As a recognized #QS_5_Star Rated University, SIU has consistently met strict criteria for educational quality, graduate employability, and student support. This dedication to the daily student experience is further evidenced by a series of notable distinctions. The university recently received the MENAA Customer Satisfaction Award, the Best #Modern_University Award, and the #Student_Satisfaction Award. These accolades underscore a continuous effort to provide an enriching, supportive, and progressive learning environment.
