World List of Universities 1977–78 / Liste Mondiale des Universites

The World List of Universities has been designed as a concise directory likely to be helpful in facilitating exchanges throughout the world of higher education. Its contents are arranged in two parts : the first contains information presented country by country about universities and other institutions of higher education and about national academic and student bodies; the second deals with international and regional organizations concerned with higher education. The information given refers in almost all cases to the academic year 1976-1977.

These are placed in alphabetical order of their names in English, but indexes to both English and French names are provided (pages 647-651).Each chapter begins with a list of the universities and other institutions of higher education in the country or territory concerned, and this is followed by information about national academic and student bodies.
