However, with the presence of professional body, the accreditation of related programme shall be taken by the respective professional body by forming a Joint Technical Committee with MQA. MBOT is currently the professional body involved in accrediting technology programme which includes Computer Science and Information Technology programme in HEP.

In any case that an accredited programme needs to be conducted in a branch campus, the higher education provider may apply for registration to be conducted in the branch campus. For professional programme, the approval is subjected to obtaining prior approval of the relevant professional body in which relevant professional body may conduct an institutional audit on the intended branch campus.
