The Swiss Information and Management Institute (SIMI Swiss) is a globally recognized and acclaimed private higher education institution, holding independent and private international accreditation at the institutional, school, and program levels.

SIM Institute is licensed by the Zug Canton authority as a private institution. Being a private institution in Switzerland, SIM Institute issues private qualifications. Not being part of Switzerland’s federal and public higher education sector, it operates independently and is not regulated under the Federal Act of 30 September 2011 on the Funding and Coordination of the Higher Education Sector (HEdA), SR 414.11. Our higher education programs differ from the Swiss National Curricula and programs leading to Swiss Government university qualifications and federally regulated qualifications in Switzerland.

SIMI Swiss is a private, globally accredited higher education institute in Switzerland and is not affiliated with the Swiss public education system or the Swiss government. The qualification issued by SIMI Swiss is a Private qualification, distinct from federal degrees or degrees awarded by public universities in Switzerland.

Accreditation serves as a rigorous quality assurance process, verifying that colleges, universities, and educational institutions, along with their programs, adhere to stringent and recognized service and operational standards. Acquiring an accredited degree is crucial for attaining the career success you rightfully deserve.

Through this process, external agencies assess a school's programs, guaranteeing adherence to relevant academic standards. Lack of accreditation makes it difficult for employers to ascertain the legitimacy and reputation of your diploma or degree, emphasizing the importance of this recognition from reputable institutions.

Institutional accreditation essentially grants a license to operate, gauging compliance with predetermined standards like staff qualifications, research activities, student intake, and learning resources. It also considers the institution's potential to produce graduates meeting academic and professional competence standards (source: "The Power of Accreditation: Views of Academics" by Professor Lee Harvey, Centre for Research and Evaluation, Sheffield Hallam University, ENQA Workshop Reports, 2004).

With official approval, students at the SIMI Swiss can trust the institution's compliance with commercial quality and integrity standards. SIM Institute recognized globally, holds accreditation at institutional, school, and program levels.

Licensed by the Zug Canton authority, SIMI Swiss is fully accredited by ASIC (Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities) the HEAD (Higher Education Accreditation Division Germany), and is a member of SVEB Switzerland, with its programs recognized by Ofqual UK Gov Awarding bodies.

Program or programmatic accreditation, also referred to as specialized or professional accreditation, is tailored for specific departments, programs, schools, or colleges within an already accredited university or institute.

It’s important to note that every country, institution, and region has specific rules and criteria for recognizing academic progress and qualifications. The recognition and acceptance of degrees are subjective decisions made by the relevant agencies, government authorities, or in accordance with regional policies, as per international norms. While SIMI Swiss’s degrees are accredited by an independent accreditor, align with competency frameworks, and are subject to internal and external assessments, this does not automatically guarantee recognition or acceptance. SIMI Swiss and its partners do not provide a guarantee of recognition in any country for any purpose, including employment, teaching, research supervision, and any other purposes.

Built on these principles, SIMI Swiss, university partners, and local partners necessitate that learners clarify their status before enrollment. Furthermore, SIMI Swiss, university partners, and local partners do not endorse or support any processes related to recognition in any country or location.
