the Main indicator of the QS – the reputation of the University that addresses feedback from more than a hundred thousand people – academicians, doctors of Sciences, professors, University teachers and scientists. Here at MSU 77 points of a possible hundred of them and 71 in the world.
– Moscow University is worthy of our country to the world scientific and educational space, – commented on the rating results, the MSU rector, academician Viktor Sadovnichy. Confirming the constant growth of the reputation of the University in the academic community. First and foremost, this is due to the high level of scientific research of our employees.
What are the successes of Russia in the ranking? Four Russian universities among Top 250 of the world’s best universities, including Tomsk state University: he rose from 268 to 250 place. From 18 positions up – the maximum elevation for our top 250! And there, in addition to MSU and TSU, another St. Petersburg state University (up 9 positions) and Novosibirsk state University (3 positions up).
We have always stressed that the ratings are not universities per se, but help to assess the correctness of the chosen vector of development. In this case, TSU follows the course of the formation of the ecosystem and the export of educational technologies, – said the rector of TSU Eduard Galazhinsky.
this year in the global QS ranking includes four new Russian participant. Returned to a rating of Altai state University(571-580 position), and for the first time took place in St.-Petersburg electrotechnical University “LETI” (701-750 position), the Russian Academy of national economy and public administration under the President of the Russian Federation and the Perm state University (both University positions 801-1000).
Another metric on which to rank the universities in QS the ratio of the number of students to number of teachers. The less students per teacher, the better. This year, 13 of the 28 Russian universities, alas, was received on this criterion, the lower score. But, nevertheless, 12 of the top 100 universities in the world in terms of “teacher-student” is ours.
the rankings and “citation index” of universities. In the first place among Russians here this year Novosibirsk state University (228 position in the overall ranking).
Over the past year we have made significant progress in many strategic decisions, – said the rector of NSU, academician of RAS Mikhail Fedoruk. – Together with the regional government is working on a draft of the technology cluster involved in the project of world-class centres and also REC planned for territories of the Novosibirsk region, began an ambitious project of reconstruction of the campus without using a budget. All this – and new research topics, and development of infrastructure necessary for further movement to the global University KLAssA.
According to the head of the research Department of QS Ben Sauter, Russia is one of the success stories of modern higher education. But the Russian higher school is faced with two problems. First, it is necessary to improve contact with employers: graduates should be ready for the challenges of the labour market of the 21st century. And secondly, we need to work actively to ensure that the Russian scientific community on the world stage became more noticeable.
Nikolay Kudryavtsev, rector of MIPT:
– Ratings are not for MIPT ends in themselves, they only reflect the result of real changes. The Institute for four years among the hundred best universities in the world QS ranking for physics, but do not stop there. We are actively developing the traditional areas of engineering, chemistry, mathematics, and also actual new areas – artificial intelligence and genomic technologies. In these areas over the past three years has created research centres of world level and launched a new educational program. Work at the intersection of different fields allows to carry out relevant research and attracts the most talented young people. Due to this, we not only stopped the outflow of personnel from the country, but also returned more than 50 young professionals from abroad. Strong side MIPT – wide cooperation with leading institutes and high-tech enterprises, which can significantly speed up the transfer of technologies from exploratory research to applied science.
Daria Platonova, head of laboratory “Development of universities” school of Economics:
Over the last 5 years at Russian universities every year strengthens its position in the rankings. Studies show that there is real productivity growth for universities and science. The tower has managed to create globally competitive teams of both experienced and young scientists and teachers of all scientific areas. If 5 years ago, the international scientific publication was only a third of the team, now 2/3 teachers and researchers publish such work. The tower creates an environment and opportunities for professional development for people at the University. A key criterion for the evaluation of universities in the ranking are reputation. This year, the HSE ranks 4th on this indicator among Russian universities. And for the last 5 years academic reputation of the University rose by more than 300 positions. Promotion online courses on global platforms, internationalization make our University attractive on the global market: with the Rig I want to work.
