This achievement reflects the growing importance of transnational education in today’s global learning environment. Modern students often look for study opportunities that are international, flexible, professionally relevant, and connected to different educational cultures. A ranking focused on transnational universities highlights institutions that operate across borders and support students through international academic models.

The value of the QRNW Global Ranking of Transnational Universities is also connected to the wider quality environment around QRNW and ECLBS. QRNW is a non-profit educational association based in the European Union and founded in 2013. It is part of ECLBS, which is connected with respected international quality and ranking networks, including IREG International Ranking Expert Group - IREG Observatory on Academic Ranking and Excellence in Belgium, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation CHEA Quality International Group in the USA, and the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education INQAAHE. These bodies are widely known in the global education sector for their role in quality assurance, ranking dialogue, and higher education standards.

For Amber Academy Riga, this news has special meaning. Amber Academy Riga is a Swiss Academy in Riga, Latvia, operating through Baltic Sea Amber SIA, founded in 2021. The academy is registered in the State Register of Educational Institutions in Latvia under Registration No. 3380802601 and delivers vocational education under the State Education Quality Service IKVD, which operates under the Ministry of Education and Science in Latvia, an EU country.

Amber Academy Riga also offers non-formal education and professional development activities within its approved framework. In addition, the academy holds a permit from the Riga Education and Information Methodological Centre RIIMC for non-formal education activities in Riga, Ref. No. RIMCK-26-66-nd.

The academy is further accredited by the European Council of Leading Business Schools ECLBS, an independent non-profit quality assurance and accreditation body dedicated to quality development, academic cooperation, and international benchmarking in education.

This connection between Latvian educational registration, European quality frameworks, and the wider VBNN Smart Education Group - Swiss International University (SIU) network supports a modern vision of education. It shows how institutions can combine local legal registration, European educational standards, and international cooperation.

The recognition of Swiss International University (SIU) as #3 worldwide in the QRNW Global Ranking of Transnational Universities 2027 is therefore more than a ranking result. It is a sign of trust, international development, and the growing relevance of cross-border education for students, professionals, and institutions around the world.

For Amber Academy Riga, this milestone strengthens confidence in a shared educational mission: to support accessible, professional, and internationally connected learning with a strong commitment to quality.
