BelSU Strengthens Its Position in National Subject Rankings

In 2025, Belgorod National Research University (BelSU) maintained its presence in 35 subject rankings while simultaneously advancing its position in the top tiers.

The university is now featured in the premier league across four subject areas, an increase from three last year. BelSU has successfully retained its ranking in Economics and Earth Sciences, while also improving its standings in Technosphere Safety and Environmental Management, as well as Physical Education and Sports, both of which have moved up from the first league.

In the first league, BelSU now appears in 16 subject areas, up from 14 last year. Notably, the university has made significant strides in various disciplines, moving up from the second and even third leagues. These include Mathematics and Mechanics, Biological Sciences, Computer Science and Engineering, Clinical Medicine, Materials Technology, Pharmacy, Industrial Ecology and Biotechnology, Applied Geology, Mining, Oil and Gas Engineering, and Geodesy (all advancing from the second league).

Additionally, Electronics, Radio Electronics, and Communication Systems have climbed from the third league.

The university has also demonstrated strong results in the second league, where it is represented in 13 subject rankings. Noteworthy improvements were seen in Computer and Information Sciences, Physics and Astronomy, Chemistry, and Information Security, all of which advanced from the third league. Chemical Technologies, Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials, Health Sciences, and Preventive Medicine have also moved up from the fourth league.

In the third league, BelSU has one subject: Photonics, Instrumentation, Optical and Biotechnical Systems and Technologies. The fourth league similarly features just one subject: Management in Technical Systems.

As BelSU Rector Evgeniya Karlovskaya noted on her Telegram channel, the university’s growing presence in these prestigious subject rankings reflects a high standard of training in the relevant fields offered at BelSU.

For the context, the National Aggregated Subject Ranking has been compiled for five years by the Aggregator of Independent Assessment of Higher Education (developed by the Guild of Experts in the Field of Professional Education). This ranking evaluates universities based on criteria of 55 integrated groups of training areas. In 2025, eight rankings were considered for this assessment, all derived from open databases that meet criteria for transparency (with full information publicly available), stability (existing for at least three years with regular evaluations), and widespread participation (assessing at least 100 universities).
