DHERST calls this an interim register. Its list of accredited programmes dates from December 2021, and most of the “next review” dates it gives have passed. Dates are shown as DHERST gives them: being listed here does not mean a programme or institution is accredited today — ask DHERST or the institution.

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 Goroka, University of Papua New Guinea
