Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of higher education quality ensuring in the conditions of war. The purpose ofthe article is to identify indicators of higher education quality and to determine the prospects of sociological researchon higher education quality using these indicators (in particular, in war conditions). The results of an online surveyconducted by “Info Sapiens” on behalf of the School of Political Analytics of the National University “Kyiv-MohylaAcademy” reveal the strengths and weaknesses of higher education quality assurance in Ukraine during the full-scaleinvasion of Russia. It is noted the loss of students’ motivation, the decrease in the professors’ demands, the lack ofpersonalized “professor-student” communication, and the lack of understanding by the students of the importanceand necessity of such communication, which, according to the author, are certain markers of a decrease in quality.  The quality criteria of higher education are analyzed, set out in “Standards and recommendations for quality assurancein the European area of higher education”, as well as developed by the National Agency for Higher Education QualityAssurance (Ukraine). On this basis, the author derives key indicators of higher education quality, which can be usedwhen conducting sociological research on the relevant issues.
