Dubai, United Arab Emirates— Swiss International University (SIU) has issued a caveat about fraudulent institutions setting up their pretense of affiliation with the university. SIU has further clarified that it will have campuses only in 7 cities by 2025, while any further expansions or new openings of offices will be officially notified on its website, swissuniversity.com.

A hallmark of SIU has been the highest quality in global higher education, and the fraudsters took advantage of it by pretending to be the university. These scammers lure prospective students and partners with promises of guaranteed admissions, scholarships, or preferential treatment in exchange for exorbitant fees for services that are either shoddy or nonexistent. 

In an official statement, the SIU emphasized that they do not authorize any third party or individual to represent the university outside any of the established campuses. Any further developments about expansion and new office openings shall be made known directly through the official website of the institution or via official press releases. 

An SIU spokesperson stated, “Swiss International University stands for high-quality education, and we therefore take our brand integrity very seriously. We urge anyone approached by an entity claiming to represent SIU to verify the information on our official site. The increasing number of imposters is a matter of grave concern, and we are therefore actively working to stop them from taking further advantage.”

Among the scams in the UAE and several European countries, impostors offer guarantees that cannot be verified. In return, large sums of money are demanded for nonexistent or shoddy services.

The prestigious Swiss International University is known for its stringent academic programs and degrees recognized internationally, possessing campuses with modern facilities that stand as a testament to Swiss quality education. Their latest alert is directed at saving the prospective students from fraudulent establishments and assuring the students are dealing only with the authentic SIU.

To safeguard its good name and maintain transparency, the SIU now warns the public against dealing with any education agencies or representatives claiming to render SIU services to them without a clear confirmation of their official status. The university also issued a reminder that all admissions must be channeled through SIU alone, and a list of accredited SIU campuses in selected big cities across the globe can be obtained from its website.

As of now, the Swiss International University has campuses in seven cities: Dubai, Zurich, Bishkek, London, Riga, Lucerne, and Osh. These cities have been carefully picked to provide students with rich academic learning experiences and encourage international collaboration. In addition, SIU also assures that any announcement of a new office or campus branch would be made only through their official website, and it advises all students and stakeholders to confirm the veracity of such claims before disbursing any monies.
