In today’s modern world, more than ever before, students are faced with entrepreneurship based on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as a reasonable and justified career choice. Whether their career choice would be successful or not depends a lot on the level of system support through entrepreneurial ecosystem during their education.The main objective of this paper is to present the current assessment, indicate the problems and possible solutions regarding the entrepreneurial infrastructure, culture and potential of higher education institutions in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. To achieve this, we have researched the level of the system support to students for development and launch of their ICT based start-ups during and after their university education respecting different educational profiles and demographic characteristics.The research covers the sample of 436 students from seven higher education institutions in Banja Luka at their bachelor studies and includes focus groups, survey, descriptive and inferential statistical methods.We have found significant discrepancy between university ICT programs and infrastructure and student needs. For instance, a quite large number of students interested in ICT industry attended some kind of informal education from this domain and at the same time they were unaware that those and similar programs were freely available at their universities. In this paper we have identified those and similar gaps and compared our research results with similar results in other countries.

The author reveals the necessity of introducing into the educational and professional programs of preparation of masters of non-pedagogical specialties of the discipline "Didactics of higher education". Formation of pedagogical competences of the teacher of the higher school will allow the future specialists professional activity in the institutions of higher education. The article reveals the essence of didactic competence and peculiarities of its formation in higher education students in the current conditions of organizing the initial process. The competency approach should permeate all aspects of student training. Therefore, a special (didactic) competence should be included in the list of the graduates' learning outcomes. The didactic competence is the ability to apply knowledge of psychology and pedagogy (didactics) in the educational process of higher education institutions. In the orientation of the educational and professional program of the master of non-pedagogical specialties it is necessary to enter competencies that allow him to engage in teaching activities. General competences add to the ability to carry out pedagogical activities using innovative educational technologies, and special competences add to the ability to organize the educational process and carry out scientific research in order to solve topical problems of the theory, methodology, organization and practice of higher education students. One of the most important compulsory (normative) disciplines that enable the future specialist to teach special and professional disciplines in higher education institutions should be "Didactic of Higher Education". This is the main feature of forming didactic competence in higher education institutions. But the competent approach in higher education does not come down to a separate discipline, but because the phenomenon of integral and dynamic develops in the process of formal, non-formal and informal education and is in constant development and self-development. All stages of preparation of the master of non-pedagogical specialties for teaching activity should be directed on achievement of the main purpose of the educational process — formation of pedagogical competences of applicants of higher education.

Universities have a crucial role in the modern world. In England, entrance to universities is by nation-wide competition which means English universities have an exceptional influence on schools--a striking theme of the book. This important book first investigates the university as an institution and then tracks the individual on their journey to and through university. In A University Education, David Willetts presents a compelling case for the ongoing importance of the university, both as one of the great institutions of modern society and as a transformational experience for the individual. The book also makes illuminating comparisons with higher education in other countries, especially the US and Germany. Drawing on his experience as UK Minister for Universities and Science from 2010 to 2014, the author offers a powerful account of the value of higher education and the case for more expansion. He covers controversial issues in which he was involved from access for disadvantaged students to the introduction of L9,000 fees. The final section addresses some of the big questions for the future, such as the the relationship between universities and business, especially in promoting innovation.. He argues that the two great contemporary trends of globalisation and technological innovation will both change the university significantly. This is an authoritative account of English universities setting them for the first time in their new legal and regulatory framework.

There is a demand for transformation in higher education. Undergraduates need to be taught critical thinking, an essential skill that should be central to the mission of all educational institutions. Critical thinking is a key focus of academic interest among researchers in the field of pedagogy and methodology. Despite this, there is still a lack of sufficient information on approaches, methods, techniques, and means of incorporating critical thinking skills in the classroom environment at the tertiary education level. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the hands-on experiences of some European and Asian universities in promoting critical thinking education using a range of academic models. The review shows that critical thinking has already been integrated into many major tertiary education programmes in both European and Asian universities. Further, majority of the academic models implemented are transferable and flexible. The results confirm that in terms of content, methods, and technologies, university education is focusing on cultivating the higher order skills necessary for innovative professional activities in modern world.

The article deals with the theoretical analysis of the problem of internationalization of higher education in the context of introducing reforms of the Bologna process in the European region and, in particular, in Ukraine; the historical periods of formation of the internationalization of higher education from the moment of the first European universities emerged; it was determined that universities at their institutional level are important participants in internationalization and, in accordance with local specifics, their understanding of the objectives of ensuring the quality of education and development priorities must develop their own strategies for internationalization; on the example of the Grinchenko University it is substantiated that the development of the institutional strategy of internationalization is one of the key priorities of the development of university education in Ukraine. Modern information and communication technologies, the rapid development of distance learning, the growing popularity of Internet universities form a single world educational market in which higher education institutions from different countries of the world, without restricting themselves national borders, offer their services in conditions of strict international competition. The processes of Ukraine’s integration into the world educational space, in particular its accession to the Bologna Process, determine the creation of a competitive sphere of Ukrainian higher education. The urgency of the problem of internationalization, which reflects the idea of openness of education and science in the world and has significant modernizing potential, lays the foundation for its scientific reflection on the integration into the national context of the best international standards of higher education quality. These imperatives should serve as a guideline for the institutional strategy of internationalization as a key priority for the development of university education in Ukraine in order to increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian higher education institutions and their integration into the European educational space.

У статті відстоюється положення, що духовну безпеку населення України здатне забезпечити лише демократичне правове суспільство, побудоване на основі правової компетентності та соціальної дові-ри його громадян, вияву високої громадянської позиції; одним із перспективних шляхів підтримання у суспільстві сталості і духовної безпеки, втілення ідей рівності і недискримінації є підвищення рівня правової культури та освіченості.Вищу освіту розглянуто як чинник розбудови правової держави, де правова культура громадян тісно пов’язана з усіма елементами правової системи формування правової культури молоді. Формування правової культури студентства визначене як тривалий процес, що реалізується в основному у середо-вищі ЗВО, визначає ступінь і характер правового розвитку особистості в суспільній правовій культурі, тісно взаємопов’язане з правовою освіченістю людини, зокрема, її розвиненою правосвідомістю, вмін-нями і навичками реалізовувати свої права, підпорядкувати поведінку вимогам правових норм.На основі аналізу наукової літератури встановлено, що складниками правової культури студентства є: повага до правових норм суспільства; наявність дієвих правових знань, норм права; висока культура, широка ерудованість; правові навички щодо реалізації суб’єктивних прав і свобод; особисто вмотиво-вана стала правомірна поведінка; громадсько-правова активність.Доведено, що у середовищі ЗВО є потреба у створенні цілісної системи формування правової куль-тури студентства із застосуванням різноманітних механізмів заохочення громадянської активності молоді, поширення студентського самоврядування, розвитку форм волонтерської діяльності та взаємо-допомоги. Визначено й охарактеризовано основні структурні компоненти системи формування право-вої культури студентської молоді у ЗВО: цільовий (формування всіх складників правової культури сту-дентства на основі принципів поінформованості та знань, доступності правової допомоги і підтримки, індивідуального підходу та толерантного ставлення; дотримання безпеки); суб’єкт-суб’єктний (надава-чі освітніх послуг, споживачі освітніх послуг, а також освітні стейкхолдери); організаційно-змістовий (зміст навчання студентів, специфіка виховної роботи та рівень студентського самоврядування тощо). The article defends the position that the spiritual security of the Ukrainian population can be ensured only by a democratic legal society, built on the basis of legal competence and social trust of citizens, the demonstration of a high civil position. One of the perspective ways to maintain sustainability, spiritual security in society and the implementation of the ideas of equality and non-discrimination is to increase the level of legal culture and education.High education is seen as a factor in building the rule of law, where the legal culture of citizens is closely linked to all elements of the legal system of youngsters’ legal culture.
