Since 2024 SIIL has been included in the QS World University Rankings, published annually by the British company Quacquarelli Symonds. It is one of the three most authoritative university rankings in the world.
In the Online MBA category of the global ranking, SIIL entered the Top 100 and took 31st place among universities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Inclusion in the QS ranking is not just another way to strengthen reputation and visibility. For SIIL it is above all a source of objective information that shows how the global higher and continuing education industry is developing, where the institute can improve its educational products and what more it can do for its students.
The Online MBA ranking methodology
The QS Online MBA ranking highlights the best online MBA programs worldwide, taking into account factors such as employability, faculty and teaching quality, the student profile and prior professional experience.
The indicators used to compile the Online MBA ranking and their weights:
- Faculty and teaching — 35%. This indicator reflects the teaching quality of the program and shows whether each student receives enough individual attention from faculty to progress steadily.
- Class profile — 30%. This indicator gives a picture of the diversity of students admitted to the program: the percentage of women and different nationalities in the class, students' average work experience and the competitiveness of the program.
- Employability — 30%. Most students decide to finish their studies after the bachelor's program and start looking for work, so the university's reputation among employers is decisive.
- Learning support — 5%. This indicator shows the level of support the university provides to online students: for example, whether it offers technical support, gives access to the learning app and publishes all course materials.
