Universities in Krasnodar and Rostov-on-Don rank among the top 100 institutions in Russia, according to recent university rankings.
Forbes Rankings Reveal Russia's Top Universities for 2025
On May 30, Forbes magazine announced its ranking of the top 100 Russian universities. The top three positions were secured by the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the National Research University "Higher School of Economics" (HSE), and Moscow State University (MSU).
As the list unveils, Kuban State University (KSU) ranked 53rd, and the Krasnodar State Institute of Culture (KSIC) landed at 69th. In the southern city of Rostov-on-Don, Southern Federal University (SFU) claimed the 39th spot, while the Rostov State Conservatory, named after S. V. Rachmaninoff (RSC), ranked 51st.
While recent auditions for the GITIS were held in Krasnodar on April 29, selecting eight high school students, the rankings for universities specifically located in Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, and Rostov-on-Don have not been reported within the disclosed Forbes rankings for 2025.
Universities were scored based on 17 indicators grouped into five metrics: networking quality, employer reputation, international reputation, academic environment, and presence of Forbes-listed alumni.
As for universities in the Southern Federal District, it is worth noting that these cities are host to several institutions recognized for their academic programs across various fields. Lomonosov Moscow State University, for instance, is a consistently top-ranked university in Russia, leading many national rankings[1][2]. Universities such as Lomonosov Moscow State University, Altai State University, and Novosibirsk State University are frequently recognized for their programs in fields like archaeology[2].
For more precise information on the rankings of universities within Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, and Rostov-on-Don, it would be beneficial to consult specific regional university rankings or educational reports.
Despite the general news about the Forbes Rankings of Russia's top universities for 2025, details regarding the education-and-self-development of universities in Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, and Rostov-on-Don are not explicitly mentioned. However, it's worth noting that general news often overlooks specific regional rankings, and additional research on education-and-self-development reports may provide more insight into these institutions.
