The formation of a new elite of the country is impossible without a quality education. And Forbes magazine decided to make ranking of the 100 best universities in Russia 2019in which those who are already in the ranks of the establishment are already studying or will only be studying.
To compile the selection, the experts analyzed all universities by 10 metrics, breaking them into three components:
- The quality of education with the best result in 50 points;
- Demand for graduates - up to 30 points maximum;
- How "elite" this or that educational institution is, and how many entrepreneurs have come out of its walls - 20 points maximum.
At the same time, Forbes did not take into account those universities that are run by security officials, since they do not submit reports to the Ministry of Education.
So if you are thinking about which institution of higher education it is better to enter in 2019, choose a university from this list that you like.

10 best Russian universities in 2019 according to Forbes
10. NES, Moscow
The Russian Economic School is one of those places where the richest people in Russia have taught and are teaching. For example, the economist, politician and head of FIDE Arkady Dvorkovich, as well as the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank Ksenia Yudaeva, are some of the graduates of NES.
About 40% of the teaching staff are foreign professors of the highest level. The Russian Ministry of Education gave NES the highest rating for educational activities.
9. TPU, Tomsk region
This is the "age" technical university in the Trans-Urals. He is the only one in the Asian part of Russia who was honored to enter the top 5 best technical universities in the country.
Tomsk Polytechnic University prepares students in 54 specialties, and 92% of graduates find work within a year of graduation.
By the way, if you read the works of science fiction writer Alexander Kazantsev (“Guest from Space”, “Gift of Kaissa”, “Oil. The Twelfth Moon of the Earth”, etc.), then you should know that he also studied at TPU. So the hearts of techies are also not alien to high prose.
8. NRU HSE, Moscow
It is one of the youngest universities in the world. The Higher School of Economics was founded in 1992, as a think tank for officials. According to Yevgeny Yasini, the Higher School of Economics was to become the forge of personnel ready to work in the new conditions for the new government.
And since the country at that time needed economists and managers, these areas were the first to be opened in the HSE, as students lovingly call this institution.
At present, the Higher School of Economics is among the top 11 Russian universities whose graduates find work during the year. These are the data of the British consulting agency Quacquarelli Symonds. According to a survey conducted at the HSE itself, 93% of graduates are employed in the first year after graduation.
7. ITMO University, St. Petersburg
The only representative of the Northern capital in the top 10 best universities in Russia in 2019 has the status of the National Research University (NRU).
As part of this program, ITMO is implementing projects to modernize priority areas of the Russian economy:
- IT
- photonics;
- optoinformatics;
- urbanism.
More recently, scientists from ITMO have developed a special lining made of artificial materials that allows people with non-magnetic implants to perform MRI safely.
ITMO is the alma mater of many famous Russians, including: Efraim Kogan - the creator of the self-propelled torpedo head for submarines and Yuri Denisyuk - the pioneer of three-dimensional holography and the method of three-dimensional reflective holograms.
6. RANEPA, Moscow
Presidential Academy - it sounds proud. And given her many awards, it’s also prestigious.
In 2016, RANEPA was among the five best economic universities in Russia according to Expert RA, and in the same year, 100 of its graduates were included in the 17th ranking of the “Top 1000 Russian Managers”.
In 2018, Forbes gave the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation the second place in the list of the best universities in the country. This year, as you see, she has moved to 6th place.
The current stars of the political Olympus - Valentina Matvienko, Anton Siluanov, Alexei Kudrin and Sergey Shoigu - graduates of the RANEPA.
5. Moscow State University, Moscow
The first five Russian universities for the elite are opened by one of the oldest and largest universities in Russia, bearing the name of MV Lomonosov.
It consists of 43 faculties, over 300 departments, 6 branches and 15 research institutes. So, applicants have a wide scope for choosing their future specialty.
Moscow State University regularly falls into the Russian and foreign rankings of the best universities in the world. So, in 2019, he was in the first fifty best universities in the world according to Quacquarelli Symonds, and not in one but in five directions:
- Linguistics;
- Math;
- Computer science;
- Modern languages;
- Physics and Astronomy.
Once the granite of science at MSU was nibbled on: the Russian business shark Oleg Deripaska, the head of the Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina, the popular showman Andrei Malakhov, as well as the first and only President of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev.
4. MEPhI, Moscow
One of the most elite universities in Russia in 2019 has the status of the National Research University of the Russian Federation.
In 2016, the British company Quacquarelli Symonds included MEPhI in the top 50 best universities in the BRICS countries.
It is curious that in such a seemingly purely atheistic institution as the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, the department of theology operates.
Among the famous Russians who had ever studied at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, one can mention Nikolai Rukavishnikov, the first civilian spaceship commander, another cosmonaut Sergei Avdeev and Alexander Rumyantsev, the ex-head of Rosatom.
3.MFTI, Moscow region
The famous Fizteh, also known as the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, is focused on preparing scientists and engineers for work in the most relevant and modern fields of science. The most popular discipline at MIPT is “Applied Mathematics and Physics”.
Last year, the British magazine Higher Education included MIPT in the top 100 most prestigious universities in the world.
Studied here:
- Tatyana Ustinova - famous Russian author of detective books;
- Maxim Potashev - scholar and participant in the elite show “What? Where? When?";
- Andrei Game, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 (together with Konstantin Novoselov, Game discovered new material - graphene);
- Alexander Filippenko - People's Artist of Russia.
2. MGIMO, Moscow
Many famous people came out of the walls of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. Among them:
- George Arbatov, who founded the Institute of the USA and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences;
- TV presenter and television journalist Alexander Lyubimov;
- Sergey Lavrov - Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (by the way, he wrote the institute’s anthem);
- Vladimir Potanin is one of the richest billionaires in Russia.
- Alisher Usmanov is another major Russian businessman, and, according to the "Kremlin report" of the US Treasury, a person close to Vladimir Putin.
MGIMO prepares students in 18 areas, including journalism, political science, international relations and business informatics. This institute even got into the Guinness Book of Records as a university in which the largest number of foreign languages are taught (53).
An important factor in choosing MGIMO is the fact that in 2016 he headed the world ranking of graduate employment within a year after graduation.
1. MISiS, Moscow
The best university in 2019 was the first in Russia to receive a proud and long name - National Research Technological University.
If you have long dreamed of making a quantum leap, or, for a start, a good study of quantum physics, then there is no university in Russia better than MISiS. After all, he is one of the leading research centers in the field of quantum physics.
MISiS actively cooperates with leading world scientific organizations, and so far the only one in Russia has concluded an agreement with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
The strongest areas in MISiS are materials science, metallurgy and mining.
One of the most prominent graduates of this university are: Vitaliy Tatsiy - founder of the famous Internet resource “KinoPoisk” and Mikhail Fridman - businessman and co-owner of the Alfa Group consortium.
