Mikhail Fedoruk, NSU Rector and Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, explained,
Novosibirsk State University maintains top positions in this ranking thanks to our high quality of education and research activities. An increase in the 'Share of foreign students' indicator also had a positive impact this year. Currently, 1700 foreign students from 60 countries are studying here. In recent years, we have been developing cooperation with China and West African countries and improved on the 'Number of student winners in international Olympiads' indicator. For the second year, NSU ranked 23rd in the world in the "Three University Missions" indicator and in the top 5 among Russian universities.
