as the booklet gives it

Mandate
Defence and security
Location
Mashonaland Central

The booklet gives the Zimbabwe National Defence University's town as Harare but its province as Mazowe — a district of Mashonaland Central — and its physical address as off the Harare–Bindura highway, about 12 km from Harare's city centre; so only the province is shown.

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.

The facts were re-keyed and arranged by CollegeMatcher: names and mandates re-cased, repeated programme lines counted once, levels grouped, two locations corrected from the booklet's own details, and university websites checked. ZIMCHE reserves all rights in its publications, so only the facts are used here, not its text or layout; contact details are not reproduced.
