This study presents an overview of the scientific studies developed on governance in Brazilian Higher Education Institutions and identifies knowledge gaps in this area. As far as the methodology is concerned, this is a predominantly qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and bibliographic study, using the technique of Systematic Review of Literature. The search for articles in two scientific bases: Portal de Periódicos da CAPES and Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library (SPELL®), with the constructs governance, university and its variations. Following the research protocol, they returned from the search a bibliographic portfolio composed of 153 articles. In order to identify the researches aligned to the present investigation, a new selection was made in this sample, from the exclusion of duplicate publications, reading the titles and abstracts, respectively, which resulted in only eight articles for analysis. The results show that the year 2006 is the oldest and 2015 the year with the highest production on the subject, with three publications. However, in the year that followed (2016), there was no publication, which makes it impossible to assert that the discussions on governance in HEIs are increasing. A common association between university governance and strategy or strategic planning was evidenced in three of the eight articles, which suggests an intrinsic link between these themes. On the other hand, due to the few scientific articles identified in the present study, it is evident that there is a lack of scientific research in Brazil on the subject of university governance.

Palabras clave : University management; University governance; Systematic review of literature.
