Abstract:

Internationalization is an important phenomenon in 21st century higher education. Numerous researches in this field have carried out in different countries as well as in Iran. One of the significant aspects of internationalization is the quality of higher education. Essentially, entering the world community and internationalizing higher education is not possible without considering its quality and components. Since the accreditation is one of the most widely known higher education quality assurance methods. In the present study, an attempt was made to examine the types of current efforts in this field by examining the experiences of leading countries in accreditation such as the United States, the United Kingdom and other successful countries in this field like Malaysia. In this study, using a descriptive approach and a method of collocational analysis, the question was answered whether the efforts of selected countries in accrediting higher education have been in the direction of its internationalization? The results showed that there is a relationship between the components of accreditation and internationalization. Countries that pay more attention to accreditation and evaluation and have achieved international quality standards, especially members in international quality assurance networks such as INQAAHE, APQN, etc.,  have been more successful in acquiring internationalization components.
