The ranking is based on several criteria including the university's academic reputation, ability to provide a high level of education, conditions for research, the number of international students, the total number of students and its dynamic.
Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the NSU Education Export Department, noted,
International cooperation is an important aspect of NSU's activities. Systematic work is underway to find new formats and mechanisms for interuniversity cooperation with leading universities in priority countries for NSU and the Novosibirsk Region.
International cooperation (internationalization) is one of the University's strengths. This is reflected, in the Interfax ranking released in June 2024 where NSU ranks 2nd in this category. NSU has 126 partner universities in 24 countries and 1,700 international students from 60 countries are studying at the University.
