Abstract

Ukraine is a part of the European educational environment and obligatorily reacts to global changes, thus Ukraine strives to improve modern higher education and, in particular, technical education. Higher education is an integral part of the harmonious life of a modern, developed citizen, and obtaining it is a key to success in the modern world. Every year certain changes occur in the system of higher education at the global level, and Ukraine doesn’t stay aside. With the challenge of today’s requirements, the introduction of the latest methods and learning technologies is an important component of further success and the highly qualified employees’ training. The main problem that leading experts in the field of education care about and try to eliminate, is to overcome difficulties and obstacles that arise.

Higher technical education has been attracting applicants from different parts of Ukraine for many years, as specialists in various technical specialties are in high demand on the labor market. The system of higher technical education in Ukraine is constantly developing and, as a result, the personnel potential, that is responsible for the specialist’s training in various fields, is increasing. The article examines the system of higher technical education on the example of three technical universities of Ukraine: National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute", Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University and Lviv Polytechnic National University.

The article analyzes institutes, faculties and specialties that provide technical training. The number of educational programs at each educational degree is shown and the possibilities of obtaining the corresponding degree are investigated. Development and improvement prospects in various higher technical institutions of Ukraine are outlined.
