About Novosibirsk State University

If you want to become a high-class specialist with a serious academic base

If you dream of immediately applying all your knowledge in practice, doing research in scientific laboratories and major companies

If your goal is a prestigious and highly paid job

Then Novosibirsk State University is the right place for you!

How does a real research university function? The scientists who change our perception of the world every day are at its center.

They pass on their knowledge to students at the laboratories which are equipped with the latest technological advancements and they achieve outstanding results at R and D organizations alongside their students.

All this takes place in the unique atmosphere of Akamgorodok, a place where science co-exists with nature. The combination of these components allows them to create at Novosibirsk State University, a knowledge which can address the key challenges for humanity.

Vast Siberia in terms of resources has been and remains a key region for Russia. Where there are resources, there is the industry, and with industry, there is always a need for scientific personnel. Thanks to such simple logic, the Novosibirsk Academgorodok appeared, and after it the Novosibirsk State University.

In the late 1950s, Siberia provided the country with 75% of its coal and 80% of its hydropower resources. Siberia had already become industrial, but science was then largely applied and did not satisfy its needs. 

An understanding was born in the USSR Academy of Sciences: fundamental science at a period where a significant amount of staff was required. This is how NSU was born.

NSU has become a unique institution of higher learning, existing in close cooperation with institutes: there are several dozen of them on one and a half square kilometers.

The Academgorodok project with the university was even shown at the World Exhibition in Montreal - and it became a model for other scientific cities.

Today, the university continues to develop and 7,200 students are now studying at NSU with more than 45,000 graduates in its alumni. The history of NSU is the history of thousands of graduates who found themselves in science, business, and creativity.
