In recent years, the process of transforming the system of higher education in Ukraine has acquired a permanent, but to a certain extent, unsystematic character. One of the main problems of reforming the Ukrainian higher education system is the definition of the forms and boundaries of the autonomy of universities for their effective functioning, as well as maintaining a balance between the degree of autonomy and state regulation of the educational process. In the context of globalization, higher education can no longer be limited to training specialists for the local or national labor market, so it becomes necessary to ensure their competitiveness, which becomes a strategic task for all universities. The bases of this are openness of educational institutions, their willingness to cooperate with business, tolerance and internationalization. Successful and prosperous institutions in the future, in our view, will be those universities that are capable of constantly and continuously changing in accordance with new requirements.
