"The significant decision to establish our University was made 60 years ago", rector of RUDN University Vladimir Filippov
Dear colleagues, students, graduates, partners!
The significant decision to establish our University was made 60 years ago. We have worked our way from a higher education institution which mainly trained staff for developing countries to a comprehensive research university — from Peoples’ Friendship University to RUDN University, the scientific and educational centre which is well-known and recognized in Russian and world rankings.
Today the University brings together students from 158 countries, and the number of RUDN University alumni increases by 5-6 thousand year by year — our graduates work in almost all countries.
RUDN University is on the 43rd place in the QS University Rankings: Emerging Europe & Central Asia 2021. Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia has shown the best results in the following categories: international students , student/faculty ratio, institution research collaboration and recruiter review.
December 7, the results of UI GreenMetric 2020, the world ranking of the environmental sustainability of universities are presented. RUDN University is the only Russian university that entered the top 50 ranking, taking 42nd position among 912 universities in the world, and once again confirming the position of the “greenest” university in Russia. RUDN University is also recognized as the most active national coordinator of the UI Greenmetric World University Rankings network. Only one university in the world receives this award every year.
RUDN started an official chat for you to ask about enrolment in RUDN, studies, accommodation, as well as order a certificate or find contact information.
