What isn't here
DHERST publishes no enrolment, graduate, fee or admission figures per institution (its statistics page is empty), so this is a directory of registered institutions and their accredited programmes, not a matcher.
“Programmes accredited by” is the accrediting authority DHERST's register names. Universities set up by their own Act accredit their own programmes, a few other registered institutions have a university as their accrediting authority, and for the rest it is DHERST.
The other universities on the register: Divine Word University, IBS University, Pacific Adventist University, Papua New Guinea University of Technology, PNG University of Natural Resources and Environment, University of Papua New Guinea, Western Pacific University
