National accreditation is the accreditation of educational institutions or programs by independent national accreditation agencies, while international accreditation is the accreditation of educational institutions or programs by foreign independent accreditation agencies.
Any institution with the national accreditation, can apply for international accreditation with one of the international accrediting agencies. Both accreditations are of equal importance in their own aspects, however, international accreditation opens the horizons for institutions for diversity of student community, increased admissions, better commercial advantage, knowledge and language acquisition, enhancement of the curriculum with international content and cultural nuances.
Today Accreditation is clearly seen as a Quality Indicator. Internationalization is changing the world of Higher Education. While it is fundamental to ensure that all statutory Local Accreditations comply with International Accreditations offer an edge indicating a global vision.
