The results of the international subject ranking QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024, formed by the British company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), have been published.

Every year international rankings highlight the achievements and development of universities in various fields of knowledge, including SPbPU. This year, academic reputation turned out to be the most stable indicator for SPbPU’s specialties. This result was influenced by the advanced research of our scientists, the qualifications and achievements of our teachers, as well as the wide range and quality of educational programs, comments Maria Vrublevskaya, Acting Vice-Rector for Advanced Projects.

The QS World University Rankings are compiled by the global research and advisory center QS Quacquarelli Symonds. Universities are ranked according to five indicators: academic reputation, reputation in the labor market, citation index, publication index and international activity. A total of 1,559 institutions were evaluated on these subjects this year.
