International accreditation for universities refers to the process by which an educational institution’s quality and standards are evaluated and recognized on a global scale. Accreditation ensures that a university meets specific criteria set by recognized accrediting bodies, demonstrating excellence in areas such as academic programs, faculty qualifications, student support services, and infrastructure.
Based on Permendikbud No. 83/P/2020, The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (KemdikbudRistek) has initiated the establishment of recognized international accreditation bodies to ensure the quality and global competitiveness of Indonesian universities. Here are some International Recognized Accreditation bodies:
