This year New Economic School entered Shanghai Ranking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (ARWU) in "Economics" for the first time (301-400 place). Apart from NES only one Russian university is listed in the Shanghai Ranking in "Economics" – Higher School of Economics.
"It is a big achievement for such a small private university to get into the Shanghai Ranking. Apart from other things, the ranking concentrates primarily on academic component of universities, as well as on publications of professors. It is great that NES shows such results competing with much bigger universities. In July 2018 NES also was on the top of the best Russian universities according to Forbes. Forbes's ranking took other achievements into account: the quality of education and a great emphasis was based on the success of graduates", - said NES rector Shlomo Weber.
