ANO “Digital Economy” with the support of the Association of Computer and Information Technology Enterprises (APKIT) and the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation prepared a rating of universities in the digital economy. In total, more than 300 universities were assessed in the rating and 63 areas of training and specialties related to IT were considered. The final results were presented for two groups: universities in Moscow and St. Petersburg and separately for universities located in the regions. NSU entered the top 10 of the second group.
The universities were assessed based on official statistics on IT personnel training and a survey of 90 respondents conducted by the Digital Economy ANO. Representatives of leading technology companies participated in the survey. The first group of the final ranking of digital economy universities included 24 universities from Moscow and St. Petersburg. Bauman Moscow State Technical University took first place. The leaders also included HSE, MIPT, Lomonosov Moscow State University, ITMO University, MEPhI, St. Petersburg State University, MIREA and other universities. The second group, which included universities located in the regions, included 30 leaders, including UrFU, NSTU, NSU, TPU, KFU and other universities.
— NSU’s entry into the top 10 of the ranking is a significant result, since this ranking evaluates absolute, not relative indicators. The ranking mainly includes federal universities, which are several times larger than NSU in terms of the number of students. At our university, the IT direction is one of the key ones: for example, if you look at the distribution of budget places based on the results of the 2024 admission campaign, more than 20% are in IT. NSU has a specialized Faculty of Information Technology, while IT is represented in almost all faculties and in all institutes. The Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty has a system programming direction, the Physics Faculty has physical informatics, and the Humanities Institute has fundamental and applied linguistics, — commented NSU Rector, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk.
NSU is implementing a number of projects in cooperation with IT companies. For example, the university has joint educational and scientific laboratories with SHIFT and Sber, master’s programs, etc. NSU is also one of the leading scientific and educational centers in the field of artificial intelligence. For more than a year, the AI Center has been operating at the university, with Sber and Rostelecom as key industrial partners.
NSU graduates are in demand in the IT market: according to surveys by the NSU Career Development Center, every fourth graduate (26%) works in the field of information technology (IT, programming, technical support).
