Innovative Technologies in Higher Education: Social Policy and Development of International Cooperation

Abstract

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the possibilities of forming an international framework for the development of universities. The aim of the study was to identify all the factors that influence the quality of higher education. The novelty of the study is conditioned by the fact that the possibility of development for the university lies not only in the establishment of directed activities. The authors show that the possibility for the establishment of a macro-environment is achieved primarily by using tools for modelling the innovation environment in a university on a technological basis. In the course of a comparative analysis of the development of universities, the advantages and disadvantages of rating evaluation of universities were considered and the methods and results of leading rating agencies were analysed. It was found that ratings are an effective tool for managing the education system, a means of improving the competitiveness and quality of education, on the one hand, and an important source of information about the university for applicants.
