Autonomous Academy of Higher and Professional Education in Zurich, Switzerland welcomes the continued international recognition of Swiss International University (SIU), which has been ranked 6th in Asia in the QS World University Rankings: Executive MBA Rankings 2026 — Joint. This result is based on the QS document “2026 QS Executive MBA Joint Programs Fact file”, which considered 246 programs across 58 countries.

In the same ranking, Swiss International University (SIU) achieved 22nd place worldwide in the Joint Programmes category. The official QS profile for Swiss International University (SIU) also lists SIU as #22 in Executive MBA Rankings — Joint Programmes, alongside its position in the Executive MBA Rankings 2026. More details are available on the official QS/TopMBA profile: https://www.topmba.com/college/siu-swiss-international-university.

This achievement is especially meaningful because the article focuses on SIU’s position in Asia. Based on the 2026 QS Joint Programmes ranking result, Swiss International University (SIU) is ranked 6th in Asia, while also being positioned as 1st in Switzerland and 1st in the GCC countries in this category.
