Nizhny Novgorod State University is the third largest organization in Nizhny Novgorod, giving way to the Gorky Automobile Plant and the Gorky Railway.
The successes of NNSU were marked by five QS Stars in the field of education, graduate employment, innovation, and infrastructure. Among the first 15 Russian universities, the UNN received a grant from the Government of the Russian Federation to increase international competitiveness and enter the leading world rankings (Project 5-100).
History [ | ]
In 1918, he was evacuated to Nizhny Novgorod. After the merger of this university with this institute and with the Higher Agricultural Courses, it receives the status of a state university for the first time in the country.
In 1921, there was a significant reduction in the number of faculties. On May 4, 1921, a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR was issued on the liquidation of all historical and philological faculties of the country and the organization of social science faculties in their place. The number of teachers in 1922 was reduced from 239 to 156 people.
A year later, on November 11, 1931, the university was re-formed, incorporating 3 faculties: physical and mathematical, biological and chemical. The building of the former theological seminary (now the building of the natural-geographical faculty of the Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University on Minin and Pozharsky Square) became the educational and scientific base.
By 1932, the following departments worked as part of the UNN: physical, mechanical, zoological, botanical, chemical, and mathematical.
Since 1938, entrance exams were established and for the first time, Gorky University recruited freshmen for the competition.
On March 20, 1956, by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Gorky State University was named after N. I. Lobachevsky.
Ratings [ | ]

In other areas, the university is not included in the subject rating.
Development [ | ]
In October 2016, representatives of the university announced the development of unique ceramic materials for spacecraft that can withstand high temperatures and radiation, thereby providing the possibility of interplanetary travel. Also, scientists from UNN are implementing the Cyberheart and Cyber \u200b\u200bTrainer projects.
The Cyberheart project involves the development of an intelligent software system for receiving, storing and analyzing cardiac data. Such a system will include a software package that allows for large-scale calculations that accurately reproduce dynamic processes in the heart. At the same time, the device is capable of real-time obtaining reliable data on the cardiac activity of a person, as well as modeling various effects (electrical, mechanical, optical and others), and testing the effect of medications. The development is able to recognize heart disease based on the available database.
Cyberheart has a graphical support system for data analysis in cardiology, a system for automatically developing methods for the possible treatment of specific patients, an ECG measurement system with sending results wirelessly.
The Cyber \u200b\u200bTrainer EOS system (Electromyographic Optical System) is designed to monitor, visualize and adjust the activity of human muscles. The complex consists of a suit with integrated myo sensors. During physical activity, the sensor system removes information about the workload of the muscles of interest and projects the image onto augmented reality glasses. The tactile stimulation system of individual muscles can correct movements in accordance with the recorded standard. Training even with a personal trainer does not reflect the objective picture of the work of human muscles.
Using the suit “Cyber \u200b\u200bTrainer”, the athlete spends less time to achieve the goal, significantly reducing the likelihood of injury. The Cyber \u200b\u200bTrainer system will allow you to monitor the processes of recovery of injured muscles, as well as prevent re-injury. The software allows you to configure the maximum allowable level of tension of each muscle, upon reaching which the system of vibration sensors signals the user about excessive load.
