Novosibirsk State University entered the top 5 best universities in Russia, second only to Moscow universities such as Moscow State University, MEPhI, MIPT and HSE. Compared to 2024, NSU rose two positions: from 7th to 5th place, ahead of TSU and St. Petersburg State University.
The activities of 389 Russian universities were assessed during the preparation of the rating. The rating includes all the country’s high-status universities: 29 national research universities, 10 federal universities, 33 flagship universities, and 145 universities participating in the Priority 2030 program. The universities’ activities were assessed according to six parameters: Brand, Education, Research, Social Environment, Cooperation, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.
NSU’s advancement in the ranking is primarily due to its improved positions in two sub-ratings: Research (from 7th place in 2024 to 5th in 2025) and Innovation and Entrepreneurship (from 15th place in 2024 to 8th in 2025). It is important to note that NSU has significantly improved its position in the latter parameter for the second year in a row (in 2023, it was in 35th place).
— Over the past 5 years, extra-budgetary revenues from research activities have increased 5-fold and by the end of 2024 amounted to 1.9 billion rubles. NSU participates in all key development programs, including Priority 2030, Network of Modern Campuses, Research Centers in Artificial Intelligence, etc. We are also strengthening cooperation with industrial partners in the implementation of joint research projects, development and implementation of new technologies, methods, approaches to solving problems facing various industries. Our strategic goal is to become a center of attraction for innovation, which will be facilitated by the creation of a modern infrastructure for research and innovation activities on the basis of the NSU campus under construction, — commented NSU Rector, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk.
NSU is actively working in the field of technological entrepreneurship. Thus, the NSU Startup Studio operates at the university; at present, more than 55 student teams have become winners of the federal competition of the Foundation for Assistance to Innovations and received 1 million rubles each for the implementation of their projects.
