“We successfully demonstrate our improved standing in such important areas as the quality of education and the development of international activities. From year to year, the number of foreign students choosing our university goes up, which is also reflected in the new QS ranking, where we have gained 27 positions in the “International Students” indicator. The university is developing dynamically, it provides high-class education and occupies a leading position in many research areas. This is possible, among other things, thanks to UNN’s participation in the Russian Academic Excellence Project,” said Kirill Markov.
