Swiss German University was established in 2000 with the objective of introducing an international standard of higher education in Indonesia. From its inception, SGU adopted an international curriculum delivered in English and emphasized strong collaboration with overseas partner universities, particularly in Switzerland and Germany.

Over the years, the university expanded its academic offerings to include programs in engineering, information technology, business, communication, and life sciences at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
SGU has continued to develop international academic collaborations, industry partnerships, and applied learning approaches such as project-based learning and global internship programs, positioning itself as an institution focused on producing graduates with global competencies and industry-relevant skills.

As an international institution, Swiss German University (SGU) integrates mobility programs directly into its academic framework to ensure global exposure for both its domestic and international students.
SGU students gain international experience through two primary schemes:
SGU regularly hosts exchange students from partner universities worldwide for a duration of one to two semesters. These students join regular academic sessions and engage in cultural exchange activities, earning credits that are transferable to their home institutions.
Since its establishment in 2000, SGU has consistently attracted international students pursuing a full 8-semester undergraduate degree (both Single and Double Degree tracks) in Indonesia. This diverse student body fosters a cosmopolitan and multicultural campus environment. Over the years, SGU has welcomed students from various regions, including:
Students need to complete two internships during their studies to obtain their double degrees. The first internship will be in Indonesia (domestic) and the second internship will be abroad (usually in Germany or Switzerland).
