The university improves its position for the third year in a row

UrFU went up into a segment 251-300 of the Business and Economics subject area of THE (Times Higher Education) rating. Among Russian universities, UrFU shared the 4th-5th place with ITMO University (St. Petersburg). Only the Higher School of Economics and Moscow State University (both in the 176-200 group), as well as Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (201-250) were ahead. Progress in this rating is an important factor that ensures competitiveness and international recognition of the level of educational and scientific activity in the field of economics and management by the Graduate School of Economics and Management of the Ural Federal University.

In 2019, The UrFU Graduate School of Economics and Management was included in this rating for the first time in the Business & Economics subject area and immediately took 401-500 positions. In 2020, despite all the restrictions associated with the pandemic, growth continued and the School entered the 301-400 group. Now the group 251-300 has been reached - thus, for the third year in a row, the School has been growing in this subject ranking.

The rating of THE in the Business and Economics subject area consists of five main components: citation, research, internationalization, teaching  and industry income with industry. UrFU has achieved the greatest success in internationalization (1st place in Russia), industry income (2nd place in Russia), as well as citations and scientific activities (4th place in Russia).

An important factor in the success of the UrFU Graduate School of Economics and Management was the decision made by the Director of the School Dmitry Tolmachev to implement the project of promotion in the subject ratings of QS and THE. A great contribution to strengthening the position of GSEM UrFU was made by the services responsible for strategy, interaction with Russian and international partners and employers supervised by Svetlana Kovalenko, Zhanna Belyaeva, Ekaterina Demchenko and Daria Matusevich, GSEM  researchers (the greatest contribution to the citation of our publications is from Alberto Ferraris , Kazi Sohag and Ivan Savin), as well as professors of the School.

Congratulations to GSEM UrFU on a new success and we wish you further victories!
