ZIMCHE published this list of registered universities and accredited programmes in September 2026; its introduction still describes the universities “as of June 2024”. The programmes are those ZIMCHE lists as accredited — they are not a statement of what each university is admitting students to this year.

By level

Levels are our grouping, read from the first words of each programme's name (Bachelor…, Master…, Doctor…, Diploma…). The booklet's own wording is kept, including its spelling of programme names.
