History of the Institute

SIIL's stated goal is to offer high-quality higher education programs to its students.

SIIL was founded in 2019. SIIL's vision is to integrate teaching and learning.

In line with its educational mission, SIIL makes a unique contribution to ensuring equal opportunities in the higher education sector in Switzerland, the EU, and all other countries, as well as in society at large.

Through its teaching system, it helps harness educational potential and address skills shortages through its degree programs, particularly in remote areas located far from developed cities and educational institutions.

SIIL's development can be divided into three successive stages. During its founding period, from 2019 to 2020, SIIL acted as an intermediary or subsidiary institution, creating courses in partnership with foreign universities, accessible to students in Switzerland and abroad.

At that time, curricula were only available in Russian.

In 2021, the Shareholders' Council and the Academic Council made a joint decision to introduce SIIL's own educational programs.

The second phase between 2021 and 2022 was characterized by the creation of the first in-house programs and the gradual elimination of the mediator's role. To accomplish this task, SIIL relied on a qualified faculty recruited from various countries.

This approach guaranteed course quality and the integrity of teaching and learning, and allowed SIIL students to complete their studies under the guidance of qualified professors. Following this change, SIIL was able to increase its student and graduate numbers and, thanks to its ever-expanding range of curricula, now offers over 165 students the opportunity to combine higher education with professional and family life. During this phase, SIIL refined and consolidated its core educational tool—the SIIL e-learning platform.

Since 2022, SIIL has entered a new phase, characterized by the further development of its own degree and further education programs, improvement of the languages ​​of instruction, a new management structure with a growing academic staff, and significant improvements to quality assurance procedures, confirming the quality of education with eduQua and QS Stars certificates.

SIIL's own quality standards require that degrees offer students excellent opportunities in the labor market and demonstrate their high professional competence and motivation.
