質保証の国際通用性 International Comparability of Quality Assurance
質保証の国際通用性とは、一つの国・地域における評価や質保証活動の指針や手順、結果等が他国においても認められ、質の高い教育研究や国際連携・交流を支える仕組みとして機能していることを指す。そのために、適合認定を多国間協定等によって相互承認すること等が行われている。また、機構の認証評価においては、評価基準の策定や評価の実施にあたって、国際的な高等教育の質保証に関する標準的な視点と手法との整合性をとり、国際的にも参照される評価を行っている。
さらに、諸外国における多様な学習歴・学位等を有する学生が日本の高等教育機関の入学者選抜に出願したり、日本で学んだ日本人や留学生が外国の教育機関へ進学したり就職するケースも増加するなど国際的な人的流動性が高まる中、学位や資格の国際通用性の重要性が増している。「学位等の国際通用性がある」とは、他国での進学や就職等の審査の手続きにおいて、当該学位や資格が他国においても相応のものとしてその価値や質が認められ、学生や労働者の国際的な移動や他国での十全な活動の実現に結びついている状態を指す。

International Comparability of Quality Assurance 質保証の国際通用性
International comparability of quality assurance of a country's or region's higher education is achieved if higher education policies and procedures are deemed comparable, by way of mutual recognition of accreditation through multilateral agreements, to those in other countries and regions, and contributive to quality teaching and research as well as international collaboration and mobility.
NIAD-QE designs its evaluation standards and procedures for certified evaluation and accreditation in harmony with internationally accepted perspectives and practices so that its activities are internationally referenced.
The international recognition of academic degrees and qualifications is gaining importance in Japan, as it increases its international mobility, with more students from diverse learning backgrounds and degrees from other countries applying for admission to Japanese higher education institutions. Further, a growing number of Japanese and international students who have studied in Japan are proceeding to educational institutions or seeking professional careers overseas. The international comparability of degrees and other qualifications means the situation in which the equivalency of degrees and awards is recognized in foreign certificatory processes in such a way that would lead to students' and workers' enhanced cross-border mobility and fuller occupational engagement in other countries.
