Some colleges or universities in Malaysia have articulation agreements and credit recognition arrangements with foreign university partners that document formal agreements for the provision of academic credit or qualification recognition.

These arrangements undergo stringent audits before they are approved, and are a testimony of the quality of education offered by private colleges and universities in Malaysia.
