Thanks to modern systems graduate certification, any student can try his luck and apply for admission to 5 universities simultaneously, and the choice can fall on any Educational establishment countrywide.
In order to make the right choice and receive a quality education, it is important for applicants and their parents to understand what level of education a given university offers. The “Best Universities in Russia” rating will help you form a general opinion about it.
Types of ratings - Russian and international
Today, similar ratings exist all over the world; in Russia they are compiled by the Expert RA rating agency. The world ranking of universities is prepared annually, for example, by the British agency QS Quacquarelli Symonds, which also includes Russian universities. A similar prestigious list is maintained by Shanghai University. Forbes publishing house also has an alternative rating (RIA Novosti together with the Higher School of Economics), where, by the way, many leaders of the “official list” were not included. A comparison of such ratings will give an objective picture of the prestige of a particular diploma.
The Top 10, 20, 30, 100 are compiled, the selection for which is carried out according to statistical criteria and numerous surveys in the scientific, student community, and employers (for example, among recruiting agencies). The financial support of the university, the number of permanent teaching staff and its weight in scientific world. The average passing score on the Unified State Exam and other aspects of the university’s work are also taken into account.
It should be noted that the best universities in Russia from the first 20 positions in the ranking have remained virtually unchanged over the past few years, which means that the country's largest universities are holding their own.
Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov
This university is the undisputed leader in the field of higher education in Russia. It was even included in the world ranking of higher educational institutions, which, in principle, indicates the prestige of a MSU diploma in the world. Shanghai University ranks MSU in 86th place in the world (as of 2015, although 10 years ago MSU was 20 positions higher). The British ranking has also reduced MSU's position in the last 5-6 years, throwing it out of the top hundred. According to the latest data from QS Quacquarelli Symonds, MSU is only in 120th place. But “Expert RA” assesses the level of training of Moscow State University graduates as exceptionally high. No other university in the CIS has this category.
Moscow State University is a legendary educational institution founded in the 18th century by M. V. Lomonosov, whose name the university bears. Its library contains over 9 million copies of publications, and the classical university itself has 41 faculties, 15 research institutes and 5 foreign branches. The number of students (together with graduate students, applicants and listeners) exceeds 50 thousand people, to whom almost 10 thousand researchers and teachers impart knowledge.
But getting here is not at all easy - the university has the highest passing scores and a lot of competition, especially for prestigious faculties such as law and economics. To get into the budget department here, you need to score 350-360 points. Less popular faculties admit applicants with approximately 300 points (philology, geology, sociology).
Technical universities of Russia
Following Moscow State University, three technical universities in a row take pride of place in the Expert RA ranking, which indicates the demand for physics and other “exact” specialties. Thus, the second position was given to MIPT (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology). The passing score for the budget here is about 300 points, but the admission interview plays a special role.
In 2015, the national research nuclear university MEPhI entered the top three (third position) for the first time in the history of the ranking, weakening the position of another “techie” - Bauman MSTU.
Nuclear scientists managed to increase their prestige by improving three indicators:
- The number of contacts with foreign universities has increased.
- Improved attractiveness for applicants by enrolling more Olympiad winners.
- There has been an increase in the citation rate of scientific publications.
The passing score for the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI is 259.
Next is the Bauman State Technical University. This technical university took 4th place in the Russian ranking, but, remarkably, was not included in the Forbes ranking at all due to the overall deplorable level technical education in the country.
However, Bauman MSTU is considered the best university in Russia for training engineers; this status was assigned after a survey of 34 thousand respondents from among recruiters, applicants, students and graduates throughout Russia. To get into the budget, you will have to score at least 240 points in the exams.
Natural Sciences
The best universities in Russia, training mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists, etc., are the “towers” of Moscow, St. Petersburg and the capital of Siberia, Novosibirsk. These cities are famous for their classical school. It is interesting that the Higher School of Economics is also included in the ranking of natural science universities, but its emphasis on higher mathematics is bearing fruit. And the joining of the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics to the HSE structure only strengthened these positions.
You can get a high-quality classical education at the following universities:
- MSU - 1st place in the overall ranking;
- St. Petersburg State University- 5th place in the overall ranking;
- NSU - 9th place in the overall ranking.
Best Universities in Russia: Economics and Management
Despite the fact that technical specialties are more in demand on the market and the level of education in technical universities is steadily growing, economic specialties invariably enjoy popularity among applicants, even despite serious requirements (for HSE, MGIMO, Moscow State University - about 350 points are required, a minimum of 226 - Russian University friendship of peoples) and the high cost of training in paid departments. Thus, the Higher School of Economics and MGIMO are the most expensive, but at the same time they are among the best in the country - 5th and 6th place in the ranking, respectively.
In general, the best economists and managers are trained in Moscow; it is the capital’s universities that hold leading positions in their field. In addition to Moscow State University, this included the Higher School of Economics, the University of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the University of National Economy and others.
Medicine
The first state medical named after Sechenov is not only the oldest honey. Russia, but also the best university in the field of medicine. In the overall ranking he is in 22nd place. The passing score here is 275, which is quite a lot, higher only at Moscow State University at the Faculty of Fundamental Medicine, where the passing score is 473.
At all medical universities have good ratings largely due to guaranteed employment - 29% of applicants pass through target set, and other people don’t have any problems finding employers. Don't lose popularity medical education and standard high requirements - the applicant will need at least 255 points on the Unified State Exam (this, for example, is enough for admission to the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia at the Faculty of Medicine).
Universities of the Northern capital
Typically, universities in St. Petersburg are not much behind those in Moscow in terms of education and popularity. Main universities Northern capital in the highest positions of the top:
- St. Petersburg State University - 5th place;
- Peter the Great Polytechnic University - 11th place;
- ITMO University - 19th place.
By the way, the last one, university information technologies, mechanics and optics, showed the best dynamics in the program for increasing competitiveness in 2016. Thanks to the fact that the university doubled the number of students doing internships abroad over the year, it was able to enter the top twenty rankings for the first time.
Regional universities
To think that the best education is available only in Moscow is a delusion. The top twenty best universities in Russia included 6 representatives from regions. These are two universities from Tomsk, one from Novosibirsk and three classical federal universities.
Last year there were 7 such regional representatives in the top twenty, but Novosibirsk Technical University sharply lost its position and in 2016 was only in 24th place. He has problems mainly with funding; it has fallen per student, unlike other leaders whose funding has shown an increase. To date, this is the most serious negative trend at the top position of the ranking.
The British magazine Times Higher Education published the TOP 100 higher education institutions based on an assessment of their reputation
