Dubai, United Arab Emirates— Swiss International University (SIU) has issued an official warning about unaccredited institutions falsely claiming affiliation with the university. SIU clarified that by 2025, it will operate campuses in only seven cities, and any new expansions or office openings will be officially communicated via its website, swissuniversity.com.

Globally recognized for its dedication to delivering high-quality higher education, SIU has become the target of fraudulent activities by opportunists looking to exploit its reputable name. These scammers mislead prospective students and academic partners by making false claims of guaranteed admissions, scholarships, and special treatment in exchange for large sums of money for services that may not exist, or if they do, fail to meet SIU’s rigorous educational standards.

In an official statement, SIU emphasized that it does not authorize any third parties or individuals to represent the university outside its established campuses. All information regarding the university’s operations, expansions, and new office openings will be disseminated through its official communication channels, including its website and press releases.

“Swiss International University is committed to upholding the highest standards of education, and we take our brand integrity very seriously,” said an SIU spokesperson. “We urge anyone contacted by individuals or organizations claiming to represent SIU to verify the information on our official website. We are actively working to address the growing issue of fraudulent impersonations.”

Fraudulent reports have surfaced in the UAE and various European countries, where unaccredited organizations pose as the SIU, offering unverifiable guarantees and demanding large upfront payments for services that do not meet the SIU’s quality assurance standards.

Swiss International University, known for its rigorous academic programs and internationally recognized degrees, operates state-of-the-art campuses that uphold the prestigious standards of Swiss education. This latest warning aims to protect potential students from falling victim to fraudulent institutions and to ensure that they engage only with the legitimate SIU.

To maintain transparency and protect its reputation, SIU urges the public to exercise caution when dealing with education agencies or representatives claiming to provide SIU services without proper verification. The university reiterated that all admissions must be processed through its official channels. A list of SIU-accredited campuses in key cities worldwide is available on the official website.

Currently, SIU operates campuses in seven cities: Dubai, Zurich, Bishkek, London, Riga, Lucerne, and Osh. These cities were carefully selected to offer students enriching academic experiences and foster international collaboration. SIU reassured that any future office openings will be announced solely through its official website and encouraged all students and stakeholders to verify such claims before making any financial commitments.
