Commonwealth Universities Yearbook : A Directory to the Universities of the Commonwealth and the Handbook of Their Association - v. 1 : Australia to Nigeria (79 Revised edition)

The 79th edition of the Commonwealth Universities Yearbook is published at a time of continuing global expansion in higher education. From Australia to Zimbabwe, this international title keeps readers up to date with the changes taking place in the 700 universities of the Commonwealth. The new edition contains 2,600 pages of fully updated facts about these institutions: their academic structure, senior staff, degree programmes and research activities. In total, 36 countries are covered in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Canada and the Caribbean.

University profiles offer wide ranging information on general facilities, student numbers, admissions procedure, first and higher degrees, tuition fees ? home and international rates ? and academic awards. Separately, national degree guides highlight the study opportunities available in many countries and identify the universities and levels ? first, master?s or research ? at which courses are available. Summaries of the key areas of departmental research complement the extensive staff lists ?193,000 senior teaching and administrative staff ? and provide an overview of each academic unit?s work. Degree qualifications and status are included for all staff entries.

Almost 60,000 telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and web addresses are listed. With these, it is easy to make contact with specific areas within an institution: campuses, faculties, schools, departments, research centres and, also, managers responsible for central services such as admissions, library, finance, international affairs, public relations, purchasing and quality assurance.
