Виконано аналіз стану імплементації європейських норм вищої освіти в Україні, установлено, що процесу реформації системи підготовки наукових кадрів вищої кваліфікації в Україні заважає відсутність глибокого системного розуміння сутнісних засад цього процесу на світоглядному рівні, окрему увагу приділено академічній мобільності та програмам підготовки наукових кадрів, визначено кроки, необхідні для розбудови системи підготовки наукових кадрів вищої кваліфікації, яка б відповідала сучасним європейським принципам
It is shown that the implementation process of the European higher education system in Ukraine lacks a deep understanding of the real consequences and possible perspective of this process. Comparison of European and Ukrainian levels of highereducation is performed. It is stated that the degree of junior bachelor can be claimed in the wide labor market. It is proved that the degree of doctor of sciences in Ukraine does not fully correspond to the degree of habilitated doctor of sciences in Germany and other countries, and the requirements to the level of qualification exceed the EQF requirements for these scientists. It is proposed to reform the Ukrainian professional development system to assign graduates a doctorate by profession as ana&logy with universities and higher professional schools in the United States. . The most detailing of higher education standards should be the subject of the utmost attention from the educational community and state institutions in Ukraine. It is stip&ulated that the implementation of international academic mobility can contribute to the outflow of Ukrainian prospective skilled personnel abroad. It is stated that the research components of PhD-training programs should be followed by the formation &of individual, non-formal, even unique programs. The laws of Ukraine do not provide for educational and research doctors of sciences training programs. It removes from the agenda the issue of doctoral studies programs in Ukraine, leaving, at the same& time, high requirements for the qualification of this category of scientists that exceed the EQF requirements. It is proposed by the example of the Baltic states to grant automatically a PhD-degree to all candidates of science who so desire and who &are entitled to it but former doctors of sciences to habilitate. It is suggested to continue scientific researches of Ukrainian higher education system in order to ensure effective entry into the European educational community.
