SEGi continued expanding its higher education offerings and campus network. In 2006, its campuses were repositioned as SEGi Colleges, followed by the establishment of SEGi College Kota Damansara in 2007. The Kota Damansara campus became a University College in 2008.

The institution continued developing its academic and professional education portfolio, launching Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) in 2014, later renamed SEGiRISE in 2020.
