This year according to the QS Ranking by Subject Novosibirsk State University entered the top 100 universities in the world for the first time in Physics. Indeed, the graduates of the Physics Department at NSU work around the world and they are known among the world sсientific society. Thus, two graduates of the Physics Department at NSU were among the scientists discovered gravitational waves. However, it is no less pleasant that with four areas of training, including the humanitarian field, NSU takes a worthy position in the top 200-350. I am sure that the resources allocated to the University within the "5-100" project will allow to improve further the educational and scientific components of NSU. It will help our university to grow subsequently in the world rankings - says the rector of Novosibirsk State University Mikhail Fedoruk.
