Prestigious universities in the Far East. “The most prestigious university has fallen into decay”

The most remote region from the center of our country is the Far East of Russia, united into a single Far East federal district with the center in Khabarovsk. This is a unique region that includes three regions (Amur, Magadan and Sakhalin), three territories (Kamchatsky, Primorsky and Khabarovsk), as well as the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, 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 km of area).

Despite its remoteness from the center and vast territory, the Far East is one of those regions that care not only about the development of the economy, but also the development of the education system, which includes more 50 universities enough high level. But the level of popularity of these educational institutions is completely different.

Rating compiled by Interfax news agency

Based on the rating most wanted and popular in the region is DFU -, which received 100 points in each of the evaluated categories. The most important factor in this victory was Active participation university in international activities. Also topping the list are NEFU named after Ammosov(Yakutsk), and VGUES (Vladivostok).

If we look at the results of the introductory campaign in 2014, then along with the indicated universities, VSMU (Vladivostok) is very popular among applicants, Moscow State University named after Nevelskoy(Vladivostok) and KnAGTU (Komsomolsk-on-Amur), where the most relevant specialties were law and economics(more than 30 applicants for a place), dentistry and oil and gas specialties(more than 20 applicants for a place).

Rating of universities, which is compiled annually by the V. Potanin Foundation

This fund finances scholarship program, which is used to select the best students our country.

In 2013 in the list of the best universities in Russia:

  • Pacific State University- 21st place.
  • Far Eastern Federal University- 45th place.
  • - 46th place.
  • - 48th place.
  • DGUPS - 49th place.

If the domestic rankings of universities can be called the most objective in terms of the requirements that apply to them by the current legislation in the country, then the most prestigious are still international ratings . After all, it is they who determine the correspondence current trends and the requirements of students created in various universities for the conditions for obtaining a quality education.

International ranking

  • Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service- 2565 place.
  • Far Eastern Federal University- 3045 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 entry of the university into the rating of an international agency QS World University Ranking. The only Far Eastern university that made it into this ranking this year was NEFU named after Ammosov, which, along with other universities, shares 151-200 lines.

International rankings of higher education institutions are becoming more and more popular in our country. At the end of July, Webometrics published a rating 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 the educational and scientific activity on the Internet. The authors of the Webometrics project emphasize that this rating analyzes not the scientific 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, reflecting the educational and scientific achievements. The rating is carried out twice a year - in January and July.

The first of the higher educational institutions of the Far Eastern Federal District this year on the Webometrics website was the Pacific State University ( PNU) from Khabarovsk. In the all-Russian list, PNU is in 25th place, and in the world ranking it is in 1624th place.

— Khabarovsk State Academy of Economics and Law– 31st place in Russia, 1793rd place in the world ranking, 2 in the Far Eastern Federal District;

— D Alne-Vostochny 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 included in the ranking of 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. Nevelsky - 177th place 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 4,769th place;

— Far Eastern State agricultural 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 East residents paid attention to the first rating Russian universities according to Forbes, where closer to the end - in 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 "eliteness" 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 lost 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) .

Note that out of 600 Russian institutions and universities they published only 100, and the fact that the Forbes rating is commercial, commented “ Komsomolskaya Pravda» Professor of the Pacific state university Ildus Yarulin. - The 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 successful this business is. This is not a purely academic ranking, but still a little different. If we talk about education, then what rating can FEFU have if teachers and parents of students are now demanding the resignation of the rector Nikita Anisimova? In addition, judging by the VTsIOM research, in Russia it is considered: the lowest level of education is in the Far East, although in fact hardly anyone in Moscow knows what education in the Far East is. IN good rating experts are always indicated - who took part. Who is in the Forbes rating from the Far East? Unclear. But they have already given their assessment.

The discussed ranking of universities-2018 was headed by the Russian School of Economics (Moscow) with 50.73 points. As for FEFU, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation urgently flew to Vladivostok to sort out its problems Olga Golodets. Formally, she now oversees only culture, tourism and sports, but at the same time she visited the campus on Russky Island several times and knows the situation from the inside.

At the time of publication of this material, 1,009 people had already signed the leadership of the country with a demand to “remove the rector and a 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 confirmed him in office.

The largest and once prestigious university Far East fell into decay. Persons from other regions who do not have the proper work experience and specialized education were invited to leadership 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 fired. In their place, the rector invited young, inexperienced managers. The cuts continue. Personnel optimization announced. But the leadership of the 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 staff of FEFU are also dissatisfied with the "systematic campaign" to liquidate all branches of the university and are too high cost training in higher education programs for 2018 is “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 aged 18-25 from the Primorsky Territory.

MOSCOW, 17 October. /TASS/. The creation of branches and departments of leading Russian universities in the Far East, which was discussed at 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 meet the growing need for personnel in the Far East, it is necessary to develop science at our own universities and conduct targeted recruitment.

Speaking at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF-2017), Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested opening 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. The majority of 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

Director General 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 metropolitan universities to receive higher education in those specialties that are not available in the Far East today. This will also attract new talented teaching staff and will 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, Jury stressed the need for development in the first place 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 the humanities. These specialties are important, but are not the main ones in the structure of employment of residents of the Far East, the North and the Arctic," Prisyazhny noted, adding that universities in the regions of the North also incur high costs, so the expansion of the higher education system should be supported by the state.

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 where two federal universities operate at the same time.

"If FEFU (Far Eastern Federal University) is conditionally the leading scientific and educational center for training specialists to work with the Asia-Pacific region, 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 federal university is given to the training of technical personnel, engineers for the mining industry in the Arctic, medical workers, specialists in the natural sciences and the humanities.

Mobile education

However, the federal universities of other districts are ready to join the project. Vice-Rector for academic work 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 in order not to lose the quality of training. Over the ten years of the existence of SibFU, 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 head university," Rumyantsev said. .

Rector of the Southern Federal University (SFU) Marina Borovskaya told TASS that she considers the initiative to open university branches in the Far East timely and relevant. SFedU is already conducting joint Scientific research from teaching staff Far Eastern 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 even more needed is the support and support of university graduates through the regulation of supply and demand in the labor market. For example, SFedU has licensed training programs in the specialty "ship weapons" and "radio 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 at a Far Eastern university, accept applicants for these specialties in the territories of the Far East, and implement joint educational programs in a network form," suggests Borovskaya.

Branch alternative

However, targeted training specialists for the new economy of the Far Eastern Federal District can be implemented in other regions, without creating branches, considers 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 come from Yakutia. For the most part, the Tomsk university works with Far Eastern youth as part of a targeted recruitment, and students after graduation 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 MAI Mikhail Pogosyan was cautious about the idea of ​​the university coming to the region as a branch. According to him, this is possible only on the condition that specialists of the required profile are not trained in the Khabarovsk Territory.

The Governor of the Khabarovsk Territory, Vyacheslav Shport, noted that he sees nothing negative in the emergence of branches of metropolitan universities in the region, but he believes that higher engineering education in the region can be developed in another way.

"My education was Soviet time. I myself am a graduate of Kharkov aviation institute when he 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 - TASS note), 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 the opinion.

Flagship Universities, Online Learning and Big Science Magnet

Rector of the Don State technical university(DSTU) Besarion Meskhi notes that branches are usually very different from the head universities due to the fact that they employ local teachers and managers, so it is difficult to predict what will happen in each case. He noted that Russia already has another effective method development of science and higher education in the regions.

"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. Talented schoolchildren increasingly prefer universities in their region to metropolitan universities. This trend appeared due to the creation of flagship universities, which, working in close cooperation with government and business, become drivers of territorial development," Meskhi told TASS.

The opening of branches and departments will indeed make it possible to partially reduce the outflow of young people to other regions, says Victor Demin, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of Tomsk State University (TSU). As another measure, he proposes the use of technology e-learning MOOC (Massive Open Online Course). It allows students to study the best teachers country and the world, without leaving your city and at a convenient time.

According to Grigory Trubnikov, Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Far East will not gain anything 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 that exist in Primorye,” the Deputy Minister believes.

He proposes to organize work in the universities of Primorsky Krai within the framework of large scientific mega-science projects, the cost of which is usually estimated in billions of rubles, and their value for science is colossal.

"This is a wonderful "magnet" for young people, and for international science, and for industry. It seems to me that if several (at least two or three) large mega-science projects were created on the basis of the Far Eastern Federal University or some other Primorsky universities, this would be there would be a very serious and good push," Trubnikov said.

Staff shortage

Meanwhile, at present, the problem of shortage 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 are experiencing problems finding young professionals with higher education, 37% - and with the involvement of college graduates.

"Often when we are talking about 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," Valentin Timakov stated.

According to the HeadHunter recruitment agency, 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, while the average in the Russian Federation is 6.6. 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%) with an increase in the number of vacancies 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%.

Do not rush to these territories and foreigners. Most of applicants wishing to move to the Far East are in Russia (82.4%). Among foreigners, residents of Kazakhstan (5.9%) and Ukraine (4.8%) show the greatest interest. In Russia, in the first place are residents of Moscow (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 who want to move to the Far East post their resumes in the professional field “Start of a career, students” (13%). This is followed by the production and extraction of raw materials, which is quite reasonable, given the level of development of these areas in the region.
