This is surely a good trend demonstrating the international recognition of Russian universities”.

“The fact that the university was ranked by THE Emerging Economies University Rankings shows that the IKBFU works effectively in terms of science and education and that the university may rightfully be considered among the top Russian universities.  One of the main goals of the IKBFU is to ensure the stable and robust growth of the university’s competitiveness. We manage to achieve it via changes in our recruitment policy and an increase in the number of international partners. We consider this strategy to be successful as we have stable growth in the numbers of international students, even in the pandemic times”.
