In modern conditions, the level of higher education acts as the main factor contributing to raising the level of economic development of the state and its competitiveness.

The essence of economic security and the methodology for its evaluation are thoroughly considered in the works of both foreign and domestic scientists, in particular, Alimovа N. K., Demydov S. R., Babaieva V. N., Momot T. V., Peresypkina M. N., Martyniuk V. P., Kozachenko H. V., Tiulieniev H. D.. Despite the significant contribution of scientists to the research problem, it should be noted that under present conditions there are no comprehensive justifications for aspects related to the study of the relationship between the state of higher education in Ukraine and the economic security of higher education institutions.
