Moscow State University regains top 100 rating

Lomonosov Moscow State University is back in the top 100 of the world’s most reputable institutions of higher learning – it is presently in 50th place - according to Times Higher Education magazine's annual college ratings, released on Monday. It still remains the only Russian university on the list, RIA reprts.

The list is based on a reputation survey of the educational and research programs, the citation of scientific articles, number of foreign students and many other factors.

In 2012, Russia was conspicuously absent from the rankings list, though a year earlier Moscow State University was in 33rd place. The list represents 20 countries.
