Irina Abankina

“RosNOU is a quite strong private university which provides a real training in engineering specialties.”

Yuri Karabasov

“From the first days of RosNOU's activity, I took a liking to the direction in which your university was moving. There are very few private universities that deal with technology issues in specific industries. And your university presents both natural sciences and IT study areas; there are also developments at the intersection of physics and medicine. RosNOU is now a well-known university, its name is recognizable. I am sure the future has a lot in store for it."

Anna Chapman

“Your rector is one of the few open-minded people. A young spirit prevails in him. And at a university a lot depends on its leader. Considering who the rector of RosNOU is and what values he has, nothing bad can happen to this university."

Victor Sadovnichy

"The Russian New University is so strong that we, a state university, accept this university on equal terms, as it is absolutely competitive."

Evgeny Yasin

“I am convinced that a private university is a more perfect system than a state one. In Europe, for example, the best universities, world-class universities are private. And the Russian New University carries out a tremendous scientific work."

Waldemar Sivinski

“The Russian New University is very strong in many disciplines: engineering, natural sciences, in particular, in mathematics and humanities. RosNOU is a university of practical technologies and one of the strongest private universities in Russia and Eurasia. You have many students from other countries, you teach in different languages: Farsi, Chinese and others. It is difficult to develop a private university. But your team manages it."

Oleg Smolin

“There are many good universities in Russia, but few universities have their own special face. The Russian New University is a university that has its own identity. RosNOU is one of the universities that gives priority to science, in some areas of science they occupy leading positions and are recognized in other countries."
