The following list includes the lists of institutions which The e-University Compendium and the UNESCO IIEP List feel are worthy of consideration as virtual universities. It also includes many of the accredited open universities around the world.

Other reports that provide good information on programmes to select for further consideration include:

Programmes from the Gazetteer/UNESCO sources

Notes of 11 August updated 20 August 2008: Sara Frank Bristow is completing entries for all the non-EU programmes in the list below. Note of 10 October: The list is complete thanks to excellent work by Sara.

Please do not add any new entries to this list below until the project decides it is appropriate.
