Passing score in medical schools. Russian State Medical University

Ratings of educational institutions are carried out by special statistical agencies. Moreover, the data can vary greatly, depending on many factors that they took into account. As a result, it turns out that in the statistical top 100 most top universities world, for example, one university is in fifth place, and according to another rating, the same educational institution occupies the 20th line.

Therefore, for a more objective picture, we will consider the lists of three world agencies at once: QS, THE (Times Higher Education) and U.S. News. They are distinguished by their impartiality, as well as their authority. That is, we are looking for a kind of arithmetic mean, if such a concept can be applied to the ranking of the best universities in the world.

It’s worth clarifying right away that domestic institutions, alas, were not included in this list. All universities that will be discussed are located on the territory North America and the UK. Yes, we have worthy universities, but according to the aforementioned agencies, they are not good enough. One of the most serious Russian educational institutions - Lomonosov Moscow State University - takes only 95th place in the list of the best universities in the world (2017) (QS statistics). So our universities are not only up to the top ten, but up to the first fifty, they are still very far away and will take a long time to grow.

So, let's try to figure out which is the best university in the world, why it is so famous, what is studied in it and where to find it. The data may change from year to year, but the top three and even the top five, as a rule, are unchanged and hold the bar for a very, very long time. Let's designate the first ten educational institutions.

TOP of the best universities in the world:

1. Harvard University.
2. Cambridge.
3. Oxford.
4. Stanford.
5. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
6. University College London.
7. California Institute of Technology.
8. Yale university.
9. Imperial College London.

And now we will analyze the most remarkable educational institutions in more detail.

Harvard University

Harvard remains the undisputed leader of the ranking, that is, the best university in the world. It was founded back in 1636 and is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The average number of students, according to the university, fluctuates within 21 thousand people.

Among the other top universities in the world, Harvard has the largest endowment fund, as well as a significant number of scholarships with far-reaching paychecks. Separately, it is worth mentioning the library at the university - it's just a storehouse for anyone who suffers from knowledge and answers to their questions.

Faculties

Today's student-to-teacher ratio is seven to one. Moreover, a good half of the lectures are given for groups of no more than 20 people, which greatly increases the chances of understanding and consolidating the material received by applicants.

The best university in the world has the following faculties:

• business school;
• humanitarian sciences;
• design;
• pedagogy;
• management and management;
• right;
• healthcare;
• dentistry;
• religion;
• applied Sciences;
• cutting edge research.

And this is not a complete list. There are also academic specialties and departments for training specialists of various profiles. So at Harvard you can study any science, if there is a desire (and opportunities).

Graduates

Among the famous graduates of the best university in the world are the presidents of the United States (Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, Obama), world leaders of other countries, members royal families(Prince Frederick of Denmark, Sheikh Sabah of Kuwait, Princess Owada of Japan, as well as businessmen Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.

University of Cambridge

Silver goes to one of the oldest educational institutions in Europe - the University of Cambridge. It was founded in 1209 and is located in East Anglia(about 90 km north of London). Nearby (50 km) is the major airport Stansted.

Almost 30 thousand students from all over the world study at the university. The educational institution is distinguished by its conservatism (however, like the whole of Foggy Albion), so any applicant who gets into the walls of Cambridge becomes part of the centuries-old English traditions. This applies to clothing, matriculation ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, etc.

University faculties

When entering a university, applicants always face a serious dilemma - which college to choose. The fact is that the existing Cambridge system is strikingly different from the usual American and European counterparts.

That is, here choosing a college, which is also a faculty, you determine for yourself a lifestyle and social circle. Whichever direction you take, it has its own buildings, gyms, playgrounds, and generally separate structures that have nothing to do with other specializations.

Colleges:

• humanitarian sciences;
• biology;
• clinical medicine;
• physics;
• advanced research;
• Social sciencies.

All of them are divided into 150 faculties and departments. It is worth noting that to study at the university you need to have not only an impeccable portfolio, but a tidy sum in a bank account.

Famous Alumni

Cambridge is famous for its alumni, including such major figures as Newton, Bacon, Rutherford and Oppenheimer. Also noteworthy are major literary figures: A. A. Milne, J. B. Prisley, Cl. Art. Lewis, L. Stern and our compatriot Vladimir Nabokov.

Cambridge has given our planet the largest number of laureates Nobel Prize in many areas.

Oxford University (University of Oxford)

Bronze went to another oldest university in Europe - Oxford. The educational institution was founded in 1096 and is located in Central England (100 km northwest of London). Oxford can host up to 25,000 students from all over the world.

The university is also notable for the fact that the cult film about Harry Potter was filmed on the territory of Christ Church College, and the no less legendary Alice in Wonderland was written within its walls.

List of faculties

The main direction of the university is the humanities. But since the twentieth century, the exact sciences, law, music, medicine and art have been taught at Oxford with due success. Academic year here begins in October and consists of three semesters: autumn, winter and spring. Summer, respectively, is vacation time.

There are plenty of teachers at Oxford: one lecturer can read to audiences of five or six people, which allows full use of the tutoring system. That is, the student receives from his teacher not only basic, but also specialized knowledge in an expanded volume.

Colleges:

• humanitarian sciences;
• design;
• pedagogy;
• right;
• healthcare;
• applied Sciences;
• cutting edge research.

Faculties, as in the case of Cambridge, are divided into colleges and function in a similar way to it.

Famous graduates

Among the famous graduates of the university, the following world figures can be distinguished: Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Lewis Carroll and John Tolkien. We must not forget our compatriots - Anna Akhmatova, Joseph Brodsky, Ivan Turgenev and Korney Chukovsky.

Stanford University

Stanford is primarily famous for its research activities. From the first years of its existence (1891), the educational institution devoted itself to the search for truth and solving the most difficult problems, in parallel, of course, teaching applicants and attracting the best of them to its ranks. The complex is located in Silicon Valley, in California, North America.

In addition, Stanford has repeatedly found itself at the top of the ratings as the best medical University in the world, thanks to innovative discoveries in this field and a large number of exceptionally competent and experienced teachers.

Faculties of Stanford

Stanford was conceived not only as a clean educational institution but also as a practical one. That is, when other universities focused on the cultural level, Stanford systematized the data of world employment exchanges month by month and provided citizens who were exclusively “useful” to society.

University specializations:

• business and management;
• the medicine;
• earth science;
• humanitarian sciences;
• engineering;
• right;
• pedagogy;
• society.

The specific direction of each faculty was necessarily calculated from the current needs of the labor market, so Stanford graduates were 100% likely to be provided with a job. In fact, they were already employed only by choosing a specialization and passing the entrance exams.

About graduates

We owe Stanford the invention of the modem and the TCP/IP protocols. Together with other alumni, Vintov Serf and Brand Townsend made our Internet possible today. Presidents and statesmen: US President Herbert Hoover, Senators Kent Conrad, Dianne Feinstein and Supreme Court Justice Sandra O'Connor.

Distinguished quality education and businessmen: Nike director Philip Knight, Pay Pal developer and father Peter Thiel, two founders of the venerable Google search engine Lawrence Page and Sergey Brin, and Yahoo founder David Filo.

Education - best security old age: this aphorism of Aristotle is more than relevant in our time. Therefore, those who really want to fully reveal their creative potential and gain maximum knowledge should try to enroll in higher educational institutions, where the level of academic education is maximum. Such universities can be safely attributed to the educational centers of the USA and Great Britain: we bring to your attention a list of the best universities in the world according to well-known and influential rating agencies.
