Quality assurance in higher education has become one of the main public policies at national and international levels. Often associated with economic development and employability, higher education is surrounded by the expectations of the most diverse sectors of society that expect it to meet certain requirements understood as indicators of its quality. Thus, this article aims to discuss some of the main elements related to evaluation and accreditation and the role they play in contexts of quality promotion and internationalization of higher education. Therefore, based on bibliographic research, topics such as quality and pertinence, accreditation and quality certification are addressed in order to, finally, present some accreditation models at the international level. It is concluded that the rise of accreditation is related to the flexibilization of borders and the demands of mobility of the academy and labor market.

Keywords : Evaluation; Accreditation; Internationalization of higher education.
