SUSU Got Included in Times Higher Education Authoritative Ranking for the First Time

For the first time, Times Higher Education International Ranking Agency published results of the new ranking called THE Impact Ranking 2019, in which SUSU took a rightful place.

THE Impact Ranking is a new ranking published by an authoritative ranking agency called Times Higher Education which evaluates universities from the position of their involvement into the process of achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), approved by the UN General Assembly on September 25 of 2015. In its first issue, THE Impact Ranking evaluated operation of higher education institutions by 11 out of 17 of the sustainable development goals approved by the UN. The ranking is based on data provided by universities themselves as well as by Elsevier publishing house, acting as a provider of bibliometric data.

Analysis experts from Times Higher Education especially emphasized SUSU’s accomplishments in implementation of such sustainable development goals as Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (the 97th place in the world); Sustainable Cities and Communities (places 101-200 in the world); and Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (places 101-200 in the world). Let us note that South Ural State University was placed the 301st+ in THE Impact Ranking general global ranking.

“SUSU is targeted at social-and-economic development of the region and the country. This is the first time we got included into the Times Higher Education ranking; this is one of significant accomplishments of the university which proves a big contribution of SUSU into achievement of the global sustainable development goals, determined by the United Nations,” comments Vice-Rector for International Relations, Olga Yaroshenko.
