Повышение уровня качества образования является одним из ключевых факторов повышения конкурентоспособности страны. Ежегодный пересмотр образовательных и образовательно-научных программ подготовки специалистов дает возможность своевременно вносить коррективы в учебные планы и повышать уровень качества образования с целью большего соответствия подготовленных специалистов требованиям рыночной среды. Приобретение международного опыта в подготовке специалистов помогает сформировать компетентности будущих специалистов таким образом, чтобы они были конкурентоспособными на международном рынке труда. Несмотря на современные процессы глобализации мировой экономики и интеграционные процессы русской экономики система оценки качества образования при формировании профессиональных компетенций экономистов требует совершенствования и дальнейшего развития. Улучшение качества образования специалистов, в частности экономистов, в условиях интеграционных процессов и программ международной мобильности будет способствовать росту конкурентоспособности будущих специалистов и повышению рейтинга университета. Одним из условий конкурентоспособности учреждения высшего образования является наличие у него внутренней системы качества образования, которая отвечает современным требованиям национальных и международных стандартов. Процесс создания таких систем в учреждениях высшего образования происходит медленно, что может привести к определенным потерям в формировании интеллектуального потенциала страны. Такие потери могут в дальнейшем сказываться и уровне национальной безопасности. Специалисты по экономике работают во всех сферах национальной экономики и на всех видах предприятий. Improving the quality of education is one of the key factors in improving the competitiveness of the country. The annual revision of educational and scientific programs for training specialists makes it possible to make timely adjustments to curricula and improve the quality of education in order to better meet the requirements of the trained specialists of the market environment. The acquisition of international experience in training specialists helps to form the competencies of future specialists in such a way that they are competitive in the international labor market. Despite the modern processes of globalization of the world economy and the European integration processes of the Russian economy, the system of assessing the quality of education in the formation of professional competencies of economists requires improvement and further development. Improving the quality of education of specialists, in particular economists, in the context of European integration processes and international mobility programs will help to increase the competitiveness of future specialists and improve the university's rating. One of the conditions for the competitiveness of a higher education institution is that it has an internal education quality system that meets the modern requirements of national and international standards. The process of creating such systems in higher education institutions is slow, which can lead to certain losses in the formation of the intellectual potential of the country. Such losses may further affect the level of national security. Economics specialists work in all spheres of the national economy and at all types of enterprises.
