International rankings of higher education institutions are becoming more and more popular in our country. At the end of July, Webometrics published a ranking of university websites, which included Russian, including Far Eastern, universities.
The rating is carried out by a research group from Spain "Laboratorio de Internet" (http://internetlab.cindoc.csic.es/), which studies educational and scientific activities on the Internet. The authors of the "Webometrics" project emphasize that this rating does not analyze the research and educational activities of universities in general, but the "representation" of the university in the Internet space. Thus, the place of the university depends on the quality of the university website, which reflects educational and scientific achievements. The rating is held twice a year - in January and July.
Pacific State University ( TOGU) from Khabarovsk. In the all-Russian list, PNU is on the 25th place, and in the world ranking it is on the 1624th place.
— Khabarovsk State Academy of Economics and Law- 31st place in Russia, 1793 place in the world ranking, 2 in the Far Eastern Federal District;
- D Al-Eastern Federal University- 56th place in Russia, 2423rd place in the world ranking, 3rd place in the Far Eastern Federal District;
- Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service ( VSUES) - 98th in Russia, 3239th in the world ranking, 4th in the Far Eastern Federal District.
The rest of the higher education institutions that were ranked on the websites were distributed in the following order:
- Far Eastern State Medical University - 166th place in Russia, 4272 - in the world ranking;
- Maritime State University named after Admiral G.I. Nevelskoy - 177 in Russia, 4316 in the world ranking;
- Amur State University - 188th in Russia, 4645th in the world ranking;
- Far Eastern State Transport University - 197th in Russia, in the world ranking at 4,769 place;
- Far Eastern State Agrarian University - 226th in Russia, 5329th in the world ranking;
- Kamchatka State Technical University - 240 in Russia, 5548 in the world ranking;
- Sakhalin State University - 269 in Russia, 6131 in the world ranking;
- Far Eastern State humanitarian University- 270 in Russia, 6153 in the world ranking;
- Far Eastern State Technical Fisheries University - 274 in Russia, 6228 in the world ranking;
- Vladivostok State Medical University - 275 in Russia, 6263 in the world ranking;
- Komsomolsk-on-Amur State Technical University - 387 in Russia, 8602 in the world ranking.
Far Easterners drew attention to the first rating of Russian universities according to Forbes, where closer to the end - on the 89th place - was FEFU in Vladivostok. Moreover, he is the only representative of the Far Eastern Federal District in this top-100, although there are universities not only in Primorye, but also in the Khabarovsk Territory, as well as in Kamchatka, in the Sakhalin Region and other regions. Yakutia has its own federal university, North-Eastern named after M.K. Ammosov.
The compilers of the rating evaluated domestic universities according to 10 parameters, divided into three groups: the quality of education, the quality of graduates and the Forbes factor. The latter takes into account the "elitism" of the educational institution and the share of entrepreneurs in the total number of graduates. As a result, the Far Eastern Federal University earned a final score of 36.09 and was inferior to several brethren in other parts of the country. Yeltsin Ural Federal University in Yekaterinburg took 49th place (38.18 points in total), Southern Federal University in Rostov-on-Don - 42nd place (38.40), Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University - 19th place (42.07) ...
Please note that out of 600 Russian institutes and universities, they published only 100, and that Forbes rating is commercial, - the professor of the Pacific State University commented to Komsomolskaya Pravda. Ildus Yarulin... - Compilers are interested not so much in the quality of education as in the number of graduates who left this university for business, and how much this business has taken place. This is not a purely academic rating, but still a little different. If we talk about education, then what rating can FEFU have if teachers and students' parents are now demanding the rector's resignation? Nikita Anisimov? In addition, judging by the research by VTsIOM, Russia is considered to have the lowest level of education in the Far East, although in fact in Moscow hardly anyone knows what education is in the Far East. In a good rating, experts are always indicated - who took part. Who is from the Far East in the Forbes rating? Unclear. But they have already given an assessment.
The discussed rating of universities-2018 was topped by the Russian School of Economics (Moscow) with 50, 73 points. As for the FEFU, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian government urgently flew to Vladivostok to understand its problems. Olga Golodets... Formally, she now only supervises culture, tourism and sports, but at the same time she has visited the campus on Russky Island several times and knows the situation from the inside.
At the time of publication of this material, 1009 people had already signed the country's leadership with the requirement to "remove the rector and the team of invited leaders of the Far Eastern Federal University." Muscovite Nikita Anisimov headed the university on August 18, 2016 in the status of acting. rector, and only on December 14, 2017, the prime minister Dmitry Medvedev approved him in office.
The largest and once prestigious university in the Far East fell into decay. Persons from other regions who do not have the proper work experience and specialized education were invited to managerial positions. During this time, almost all experienced and competent employees who had worked at the university (including universities before their merger) for more than a dozen years were dismissed. In their place, the rector invited young, inexperienced managers. The cuts continue. Optimization of personnel announced. But the top leadership of departments from invited specialists continues to grow, - emphasize the authors of the petition addressed to the president, prime minister, chairmen of the State Duma and the Federation Council.
Parents of students and FEFU staff are also dissatisfied with the "planned campaign" to liquidate all branches of the university and the too high cost of training in higher education programs for 2018 - "significantly higher than for similar specialties in other universities in the region and central Russia." As a result, there is an outflow of young people from 18 to 25 years old from the Primorsky Territory.
MOSCOW, October 17. / TASS /. The creation of branches and departments of leading Russian universities in the Far East, which was discussed in the framework of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), will partially reduce the outflow of young people from the district, but will not completely solve this problem, experts interviewed by TASS believe. In their opinion, in order to retain young specialists and cover the growing need for personnel in the Far East, it is necessary to develop science in our own universities and conduct targeted recruitment.
Speaking at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF-2017), Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed to provide for the opening of branches and departments of the country's leading universities in the region as part of the training program. According to the president, the problem of finding specialists is typical for many industries, and it will only grow. Most of the experts interviewed by TASS agree with the president's point of view, noting, however, that along with the opening of branches of leading universities, other measures to support and attract talented youth can be implemented to develop the higher education system in the Far Eastern Federal District.
Availability of leading universities
General Director of the Agency for the Development of Human Capital in the Far East (ARCHK DV) Valentin Timakov approves the decision to open branches of leading universities in the district. “For talented graduates, there will be no need to travel to the capital's universities to obtain higher education in those specialties that are currently absent in the Far East. It will also attract new talented teaching staff and contribute to the formation of a new educational environment, ”Timakov said.
His opinion is shared by most experts, including First Deputy Minister of Science and Education of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) Mikhail Prisyazhny. He believes that the creation of branches of central universities in the Far East, "undoubtedly, will expand the opportunities for education for residents of the region." However, the jury emphasized the need to develop, first of all, technical specialties, which are more in demand in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD).
“Many central universities, which in the 1990s actively opened branches in Chukotka, Yakutia and other regions of the North and the Far East, mainly trained in humanitarian specialties. These specialties are important, but are not the main ones in the structure of employment of residents of the Far East and North and the Arctic ", - said the Prysyazhny, adding that in the regions of the North, universities also incur high costs, so the expansion of the higher education system should be supported by the state as well.
But the head of the Media Policy Department of the North-Eastern Federal University (NEFU) Nikita Argylov believes that there is no need to open branches of universities in the Far Eastern Federal District. According to him, this is the only federal district on the territory of which two federal universities operate at once.
"If FEFU (Far Eastern Federal University) is conditionally a leading scientific and educational center for training specialists to work with the Asia-Pacific region, then NEFU specializes in training specialists in the Arctic," Argylov said.
He clarified that NEFU has its own branches in Western and Southern Yakutia, and the branch in Chukotka is the only university in the region. Special attention in the federal university is paid to the training of technical personnel, engineers for the extractive industry in the Arctic, medical workers, specialists in the natural sciences and the humanities.
Mobile education
However, federal universities in other districts are ready to join the project. Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of the Siberian Federal University (SFU) Maxim Rumyantsev told TASS that so far the founder has not set such a task for the university, but if it is proposed to open a branch in the Far East, this issue will be worked out in detail.
"It will be necessary to think over the technology very well so as not to lose the quality of training. Over the ten years of SFU's existence, we have deliberately optimized the branch network, leaving only those branches where we could guarantee that the quality of education will be no worse than at the parent university," said Rumyantsev ...
Rector of the Southern Federal University (SFedU) Marina Borovskaya told TASS that she considers the initiative to open branches of universities in the Far East timely and relevant. SFedU is already conducting joint research with the teaching staff of the Far East region.
"The Far East needs modern highly qualified personnel, whose training is integrated into the socio-economic model of the region's development. The creation of basic departments, the implementation of network programs and academic mobility will help improve the quality of training," she said.
Borovskaya added that the support and support of university graduates through the regulation of supply and demand in the labor market is even more necessary. For example, SFedU has licensed training programs in the specialty "ship armament" and "radio engineering systems and complexes", but the demand for specialists of this profile in the Far East is higher than in the South of Russia.
"We could open basic departments in a Far Eastern university, accept applicants for these specialties in the Far East and implement joint educational programs in a network form," suggests Borovskaya.
Alternative to affiliates
However, targeted training of specialists for the new economy of the Far Eastern Federal District can be carried out in other regions, without creating branches, the vice-rector for educational activities Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) Yuri Borovikov. According to him, up to 200 people from the Far East study at TPU every year. People come to Tomsk from the Amur, Sakhalin and other regions, but most of the applicants are from Yakutia. For the most part, the Tomsk university works with the Far Eastern youth as part of the targeted recruitment, and after graduation, students are required to return to their region to work at any enterprise, he added.
(MAI) from next year will train specialists for aircraft manufacturing enterprises in the Khabarovsk Territory. But the rector of the Moscow Aviation Institute Mikhail Pogosyan was cautious about the idea of a university entering the region as a branch. According to him, this is possible only on condition that specialists of the required profile are not trained in the Khabarovsk Territory.
Governor of the Khabarovsk Territory Vyacheslav Shport noted that he does not see anything negative in the appearance of branches of the capital's universities in the region, but believes that it is possible to develop higher engineering education in the region in another way.
"My education was in the Soviet era. I myself am a graduate of the Kharkov Aviation Institute, when I came to production (Vyacheslav Shport worked for a long time in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, at the Gagarin aircraft plant, which is part of the Sukhoi company - note TASS), here there were specialists from the Kuibyshev and Moscow aviation institutes. These are different schools, but in one production such interaction gives an important synergistic effect, "the head of the region expressed his opinion.
Flagship universities, online learning and the "magnet" of big science
Rector of Don State Technical University (DSTU) Besarion Meskhi notes that branches are usually very different from parent universities due to the fact that they employ local teachers and managers, so it is difficult to predict what will turn out in each specific case. He noted that another effective way of developing science and higher education in the regions is already operating in Russia.
“The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation has already proposed an effective solution to the problem of the outflow of talented youth - the creation of flagship universities in the regions. become drivers for the development of territories, "Meskhi told TASS.
The opening of branches and departments will indeed allow to partially reduce the outflow of young people to other regions, says Viktor Demin, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of Tomsk State University (TSU). As another measure, he suggests using e-learning technology MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). It allows students to study with the best teachers in the country and the world, without leaving their city and at a convenient time.
According to the Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Grigory Trubnikov, the Far East will gain nothing new from the creation of branches of leading Russian universities. He noted that in the region, for example, in Vladivostok and Khabarovsk, there are good universities, which themselves could become a platform for the development of science. “Perhaps it would be more efficient to develop the research infrastructure at the universities existing in Primorye,” the deputy minister said.
He proposes to organize work in the universities of the Primorsky Territory within the framework of large scientific mega-science projects, the cost of which is usually calculated in billions of rubles, and their value for science is colossal.
“This is a wonderful 'magnet' for young people, for international science, and for industry. there would be a very serious and good push, "Trubnikov said.
Personnel hunger
Meanwhile, at present the problem of the lack of personnel in the Far East is quite acute. According to the results of a recent survey of Far Eastern companies by VTsIOM, 39% of organizations have problems finding young professionals with higher education, 37% - and with the involvement of college graduates.
"Often, when it comes to attracting unique specialists who have certain competencies and have a narrow specialization, employers are faced with a lack of trained personnel in the local market and are forced to attract specialists from other regions," said Valentin Timakov.
According to the staffing agency HeadHunter, the index of the ratio of the number of applicants to the number of vacancies in the Far Eastern Federal District in 2017 is the lowest in the country, 3.8, with an average of 6.6 in the Russian Federation. At the same time, the number of active resumes since the beginning of the year in the district increased by 19% (in the Russian Federation - by 10%), while the number of vacancies increased by 10% (in the Russian Federation - 5%). Among those looking for work in the Far Eastern Federal District, there are slightly more people with higher education than the national average: 71% versus 68%.
Foreigners are also in no hurry to visit these territories. Most of the applicants wishing to move to the Far East come from Russia (82.4%). Among foreigners, the greatest interest is shown by residents of Kazakhstan (5.9%) and Ukraine (4.8%). In Russia, residents of Moscow are in first place (8.2%), almost 5% of applicants are from the Republic of Bashkortostan, 4.7% each are from the Omsk Region and the Trans-Baikal Territory.
Most of the applicants wishing to move to the Far East post their resumes in the professional area "Career start, students" (13%). This is followed by the spheres of production and extraction of raw materials, which is quite reasonable, given the level of development of these spheres in the region.

The most remote region from the center of our country is the Russian Far East, united into a single Far Eastern Federal District with the center in Khabarovsk. This is a unique region that includes three regions (Amur, Magadan and Sakhalin), three territories (Kamchatka, Primorsky and Khabarovsk), as well as the Chukotka Autonomous District, the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The Far East covers 36% of the territory of Russia, where only 6.226 million people live (1 person per 1 km2 of the area).
Despite its remoteness from the center and a huge territory, the Far East is one of those regions in which they care not only about the development of the economy, but also the development of the education system, which includes more 50 universities of a fairly high level. But the level of popularity of these educational institutions is completely different.
Rating made by IA "Interfax"
Based on the rating, the most demanded and popular in the region is DFU -, which in each of the evaluated categories received 100 points. The most important factor in this victory was the active participation of the university in international activities. Also, the leaders of this rating were NEFU named after Ammosov(Yakutsk), and VSUES (Vladivostok).
If you look at the results of the admission campaign in 2014, then along with the indicated universities, VSMU (Vladivostok) is very popular among applicants, Marine State University named after Nevelskoy(Vladivostok) and KnAGTU (Komsomolsk-on-Amur), where the most relevant specialties are jurisprudence and economics(more than 30 applicants for a place), dentistry and oil and gas specialties(more than 20 applicants for a place).
The rating of universities, which is annually compiled by the V. Potanin Foundation
This fund finances a scholarship program that selects the best students in our country.
In 2013 on the list best universities Russia:
- Pacific State University- 21st place.
- Far Eastern Federal University- 45th place.
- - 46th place.
- - 48th place.
- DGUPS - 49th place.
If the domestic ratings of universities can be called the most objective in terms of the requirements that are imposed on them by the legislation in force in the country, then the most prestigious are still international rankings... After all, it is they who determine the compliance with modern trends and the requirements of students of the conditions created in various universities for obtaining a quality education.
International ranking
- Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service- 2565 place.
- Far Eastern Federal University- 3045th place.
- NEFU named after Ammosov- 3500 place.
- Amur State University- 3746 place.
If we take such an indicator as the academic reputation of the university, then the determining factor in this case will be the hit of the university in the rating of the international agency QS World University Ranking... The only Far Eastern university that got into this rating this year was NEFU named after Ammosov, which, along with other universities, divides 151-200 lines.
