The Ural Federal University took the first place in the subject ranking of Russian universities by the number of entries – the university is represented in 23 fields of study.
The second place in the country is held by the UrFU in the field of Materials Engineering, the third place in the Civil Engineering, the fourth place in the field of Chemistry, Chemical Technologies, Electronics, Radio Engineering and Communication Systems, the fifth place in the field of Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering, and the sixth place in the field of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics.
“Our university is one of the most multidisciplinary in Russia,” said Victor Koksharov, the UrFU rector. – This is confirmed by the number of subject rankings in which we have participated, demonstrating success in materials science, where we have a strong scientific school, and a number of other areas: both basic and applied engineering.
Also, the Ural Federal University is in the top ten in Mathematics, Biology, Information Technology, Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Land Transport Engineering and Technology, Management, Sociology, Political Science and International Relations, Linguistics and Foreign Languages, History and Archaeology. The university is also listed in Physics (11th), Philology and Journalism (11th), Ecology (12th), Psychology (13th) and Economics (13th).
“This time the compilers also evaluated the scientific and technological potential of the regions,” adds Daniil Sandler, UrFU Vice Rector for Economics and Strategic Development. – Thanks to the efforts of our university, the Sverdlovsk Region is one of the five most developed in this area, which is an indication of our potential and growth prospects.
As in the previous year, the medal winners were Lomonosov Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University and the National Research University “Higher School of Economics”.
The RAEX agency has published the subject rankings of Russian universities – the lists of the best universities included 164 higher education institutions from 42 regions of Russia.
The study uses three sets of indicators that traditionally appear in all rankings – the “Three missions of the university,” which include education, science and society. The subject ratings take into account the specifics of each field – the set of indicators and their values differ depending on the subject. For example, for science and engineering fields, “science” is 35%, while for social sciences and humanities it is 25%.
