World List of Universities

and Other Institutions of Higher Education

The biennial publication of the World List of Universities and Other Institutions of Higher Education, released alternately with the International Handbook of Universities was replaced, in 2008, by an annual publication of the Handbook.

The sister publication to the International Handbook of Universities, the World List of Universities had been a concise information resource on higher education worldwide since 1952.  

The last edition (25th) - published in 2006 - provided data on over 17,500 universities and other institutions worldwide which offer terminal degrees after three to four years studies. The listing of each institution included: name of institution in English, then in the language of the country, address/telephone/fax/web site/electronic mail, officers’ names with direct contact details, listing of faculties, departments and major subject areas, date of foundation. Details were also provided on all major national academic bodies directly concerned with higher education as well as on agencies dealing with recognition of degrees.
