International Handbook of Universities
|
The International
Handbook of Universities was first published in 1959 in response
to the growing demand for authoritative information about higher
education institutions. It has grown considerably over the years in
both the quantity and quality of entries. All information contained in
the Handbook is validated at the national and institutional levels.
In 2008, IAU publications were revamped and the International Handbook of Universities
was upgraded to:
- include higher education institutions that offer at
least post-graduate degrees and/or four-year professional diplomas;
- briefly describe the higher education system in each
country;
- index fields of study;
- provide a list of regional and international higher
education organizations;
- become a 2 volume print directory with single user
license for online access to the data included in the print directory
and more;
- be released annually and, consequently, replace the
World List of Universities and Other Institutions of Higher Education;
- be published in alternation with the CD-ROM, the
World Higher Education Database (WHED), the Handbook being released in
August, the WHED in January each year to always provide the most
up-to-date information;
IAU Members benefit from a complimentary copy of the WHED and a 50%
discount on the Handbook.
The current edition (21st) provides detailed data on over 14,000 higher
education institutions worldwide and a brief description of the higher
education system of 183 countries.
