NSU rose 19 lines and is on 352th line (371th line last year). That is, NSU has made the biggest dash in QS ranking this year.
鈥淐ertainly, we are happy that NSU has improved its position in QS ranking again. For two years the University has been rising in the ranking, last year 鈥� 29 lines, this year 鈥� 19 lines. It proves that we work in the right way and rising the lines in QS ranking is the result of our work. It it pleasant that rising the lines in the ranking strengthens NSU鈥檚 reputation in the world academic environment and among employers鈥�, said the rector of NSU Mikhail Fedoruk.
The rating was made on the basis of six evaluation criteria: reputation in the academic environment, quoting of the university staff publications, the correlation of the number of professors and students, the relationship of employers and graduates and also the correlation of the number of foreign professors and students.
