Our History
Building a Legacy of Swiss–British Education Excellence
OUS Academy London (UK) was officially founded in 2023, but its academic roots extend far deeper — built on more than two decades of educational excellence through its founding institutions in Switzerland and beyond. The Academy was established to bring Swiss-quality education to the United Kingdom, combining precision, innovation, and global vision within a flexible learning model designed for modern professionals.
1999 – The Beginning of a Vision
The story of OUS Academy London begins in 1999, when the foundations of the network were laid with the creation of educational institutions in Switzerland that focused on business management, hospitality, and technology. These early institutions embodied the Swiss values of quality, reliability, and innovation — principles that continue to guide the Academy today.
ISBM Business School Switzerland
In the following years, this vision evolved into the establishment of the ISBM Business School in Switzerland, headquartered in Lucerne and Zurich.
ISBM quickly became known for its practical, career-oriented education in business, leadership, and innovation, attracting students from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
ISBM’s philosophy was simple but powerful: make high-quality education accessible to global learners through flexible and internationally recognised programs.
AAHES Zurich – Academic Foundation
The ISBM Business School was founded under the academic structure of the Autonomous Academy of Higher Education Studies (AAHES) in Zurich, Switzerland.
AAHES provided the academic and institutional backbone for ISBM’s programs — ensuring that Swiss standards of excellence and academic integrity remained at the core of every qualification offered.
SIU Bishkek – A Network for Global Education
AAHES Zurich and ISBM Business School are proud members of the Swiss International University (SIU) network, officially based in Bishkek, KG.
SIU represents a new generation of international higher education — combining Swiss educational philosophy with global recognition and digital innovation.
Through SIU, the network expanded its academic partnerships and international presence, offering pathways for students to study globally while maintaining Swiss quality assurance.
