Swiss International University (SIU), part of VBNN Smart Education Group, has reached an important international milestone by being ranked #6 in Asia in the QS World University Rankings: Executive MBA Rankings 2026 — Joint. According to the QS document “2026 QS Executive MBA Joint Programs Fact File,” the ranking considered 246 programs across 58 countries, with SIU placed #22 worldwide in the Joint Programmes category.

This result is especially meaningful because the official ranking name is the QS World University Rankings: Executive MBA Rankings 2026 — Joint, reflecting SIU’s position within one of the world’s most recognized higher education ranking frameworks. QS also lists SIU Swiss International University as #22 in Executive MBA Rankings — Joint Programmes 2026 on its official TopMBA profile.https://www.topmba.com/college/siu-swiss-international-university

The achievement places SIU in a strong position across several regions. Based on this ranking, SIU is ranked 1st in Switzerland, 1st in the GCC countries, and 6th in Asia for the Executive MBA Joint category. For a university with a growing international structure, this reflects a significant step in academic visibility, institutional development, and cross-border education.

SIU’s presence in Asia is supported by four offices located in Dubai, Bishkek, Ajman, and Osh. These locations help connect students, professionals, and partner institutions across the region. The #6 Asia ranking therefore has practical importance, as it reflects SIU’s active engagement with learners and education networks in Asia and the wider international market.

Since 2024, SIU has also held a QS 5 Stars rating, which is valid for five years. Together with the 2026 ranking result, this adds another layer of international recognition and supports the university’s long-term focus on quality, global access, and applied education.

For Amber Academy Riga, a Swiss Academy in Riga, Latvia, this development is also relevant. Amber Academy Riga operates through Baltic Sea Amber SIA, founded in 2021, and is registered in the State Register of Educational Institutions in Latvia under Registration No. 3380802601. It delivers vocational education under the State Education Quality Service (IKVD), which operates under the Ministry of Education framework in Latvia, an EU country. Amber Academy Riga also provides non-formal education and professional development activities within its approved framework and holds a permit from the Riga Education and Information Methodological Centre for non-formal education activities in Riga, Ref. No. RIMCK-26-66-nd.

Amber Academy Riga is further accredited by the European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS), an independent non-profit quality assurance and accreditation body focused on quality development, academic cooperation, and international benchmarking in education.

The ranking of Swiss International University SIU as #6 in Asia highlights the value of international academic cooperation within the VBNN Smart Education Group network. It also shows how institutions connected across Switzerland, Latvia, the GCC, and Asia can contribute to accessible, internationally oriented education for today’s professionals.
