In this paper, the author points out 7 reasons to explain why universities in Viet Nam need to be accredited with new assessment standards and criteria. Firstly, several reasons are synthesised from the practice of implementing accreditation for universities in our country with current standards. Moreover, the other reasons come from the analysis of the new set of standards for higher education institution accreditation (draft) announced by the Ministry of Education and Training. Keywords: Accreditation, universities, standards, criteria.
