I know you can try checking these agencies at www.chea.org. If you are not in the states you can try your own educational agency or equivalent to CHEA to see if a degree from Must would be accepted.

Must appears to be an unaccredited institution that has set upt its own accreditation agency to accredit its programs, I would probably avoid Must like the plague. Just my 2 cents.

" international accreditation" is often degree-mill speak.
Every country (and often every territory/state etc WITHIN the country ) plays according to its own rules.
What may be ok in Germany may not be ok in China.
There are a few institutions accredited in 2 or more states (EX Athabasca ), but that just means that individual university happens to satisfy two sets of requirements at the same time.
It all boils down to the 'identity' of the degree...A Open University degree is a UK degree, period: an Athabasca degree can be played as a Canadian or a USA degree.
Which is the government that gives its seal of approval to 'internationally accredited' degrees?
Degree mills play the unsuspecting using USA coded speak...
The vast majority of situations WORLDWIDE see States (or sub-states like provinces or Laender ) lending credibility to their own degrees, not privately owned and operated 'accrediting bodies' as in the USA.
Few 'double degrees' schemes exist, through which a degree is simultaneously awarded by and carries the mention of two different universities (EX one in Canada, one in France )...but that strictly concerns THOSE TWO universities.

heh heh heeeeh

What I'm wondering is how "must university" shows 30,000 hits on Google and no-one has ever heard of it or its accreditor. I must be getting a lot of results from something else.

take a look of this. I had a chat conversation with one of them (I think that he is always the same):
