  The Minister may approve a person to operate as a non self‑accrediting entity in relation to an external Territory if:

 (i) approval to operate as a non self‑accrediting entity in relation to that Territory; or
 (ii) approval to operate as a self‑accrediting entity in relation to that Territory; and
 (b) the Minister is satisfied, following an assessment made having regard to the *National Protocols and the Higher Education in External Territories Guidelines, that:
 (i) if subparagraph (a)(ii) applies—it would not be appropriate to authorise the person to accredit any *courses of study leading to *higher education awards in relation to that Territory; and
 (ii) in any case—it is appropriate that the person be authorised to offer courses of study leading to higher education awards in relation to that Territory; and
 (c) the person's principal purpose is either or both of the following:

 (ii) to conduct research.
