Licensed private institutions without accredited programmes
Institute of Transport and Communications has been granted a license to begin activities in higher education but have not yet undergone a systematic quality assessment/accreditation. It therefore exists legally and is working to meet accreditation criteria. It should therefore be distinguished from some others, which operate without licenses and, consequently, without any state oversight.
Before a successful accreditation, however, their diplomas/degrees are not recognised by the State.
