Higher Education Systems

The database on Higher Education Systems includes information on the higher education systems of 183 countries and territories worldwide*.

Please note that IAU is currently reviewing its database on higher education systems around the world and we are unfortunately unable to provide information on the higher education systems of each country.  We are, however, pleased to provide you with several examples of the information contained in our database.  We hope to provide more countries in the future.

The complete WHED CD-ROM comprises information on the education system and the credentials offered of each countries referenced and a comprehensive description of over 17,000 higher education institutions. It is updated annually. The 2009 edition was released in March 2009. For more information on the CD-ROM and the other IAU reference publications, click here.

*It should be noted that the designations employed for countries and territories do not imply any expression of opinion of IAU with regard to their status or the delimitations of their frontiers.
