The ranking comprises 400 regional universities, 121 of which are Russian. In 2019 the ranking included 106 Russian universities compared to 107 in 2018 — 97 in 2017, 64 in 2016, 48 in 2015 and 26 in 2014.

This year MGIMO excelled in its faculty to student ratio and improved its performance as regards to its academic reputation and the number of citations per published paper.

The number of MGIMO articles in the international Scopus database has grown 4.4 times since 2017 and the number of citations for relevant publications has increased 13 times, reflecting an increase in the quality and recognition of the University's research. The ranking methodology takes into account six traditional QS criteria to compare the performance of universities: academic reputation (30%), employer reputation (20%), faculty to student ratio (10%), proportion of international students and international faculty (2.5% each), number of citations per published paper (5%). QS experts also look at the proportion of faculty staff with a PhD (5%), the number of papers published per faculty member (10%) and each university’s web impact, which is an estimation of its Internet resources (5%), as well as their international research network (10%).
