The results of the Shanghai Ranking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (ARWU) international subject rankings have been published across 55 subject areas. RUDN University ranked high in three of them: Agriculture, Mathematics, and Environmental Sciences.
In the subject area of "Agriculture," our university is a leader among Russian universities and ranks in the top 101-150 among all higher education institutions worldwide. Last year, we ranked 151-200 globally. RUDN University was the only university in the country to improve its position in this subject area. We have the highest scores among Russian universities for the following indicators:
“Research productivity” (number of publications in Q1 – 330), “International collaborations” – 80.8%, “Research contribution” – CNCI is 2.68.
RUDN University also has the highest results among Russian universities for the “Publications in Leading Journals” (Top Journal Papers) indicator – 285 articles.
In the subject area of "Mathematics," RUDN University ranked 5th among Russian universities and 301-400th globally. Only six Russian universities were included in the ranking this time. In 2025, Russian universities are experiencing a decline in the overall number of publications, while their quality is increasing: most are seeing an increase in the number of publications in Q1 journals and their citation rate. The number of international collaborations has also significantly decreased. RUDN University's strongest performance is demonstrated by the following indicators: it maintains a high percentage of "International Collaborations" at 59.9% (first among Russian universities) and its "Research Contribution" (CNCI) score is 1.08.
In the Environmental Sciences subject area, we entered the top 401-500, becoming the only Russian university to be included in this ranking in 2025. RUDN University achieved the highest score in the Research Contribution (RI) indicator, with 43.4 points. Our university also achieved a near-maximum score (19.3 out of 20) in the International Collaborations indicator.
The publication threshold for inclusion in the ranking is 200 articles, and a total of 500 universities were ranked. Publications in the fields of Environmental Engineering, Environmental Sciences, and Environmental Studies were considered.
