The Association of Ranking Authors has published a pilot ranking of universities in the BRICS member countries. The final list includes 600 universities representing 10 member states. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University took 59th place in the overall ranking.
The new BRICS university ranking was one of the first steps in the systematic assessment of the quality of higher education institutions in the association of states. The list of the best BRICS universities included 161 universities from Russia. St. Petersburg Polytechnic University took 59th place overall and 15th in Russia. The experts took the model of the international ranking “Three University Missions” as a basis and added national features characteristic of BRICS members. For example, the participation of students in international Olympiads provides the university with a higher place in the ranking than the organization’s budget. The Association of Ratings Compilers emphasizes that the methodology for assessing universities uses only verifiable objective indicators and does not depend on subjective expert assessments.
We perceive the creation of a ranking of universities of the BRICS countries as a major step towards an objective assessment of the association’s universities, taking into account their national identity. The ranking reflects our interaction with the BRICS countries in the field of education: this includes the number of foreign students studying with us and victories in prestigious international Olympiads. The citation rate of our scientists in Russian scientific publications also had a positive effect on our position in the ranking, – noted Acting Vice-Rector for Prospective Projects Maria Vrublevskaya.
The idea of creating our own university ranking was recorded in the final declaration following the meeting of the BRICS education ministers. This association of states with a population of over 3.6 billion people is today the largest educational market in the world.
