Purpose. The purpose of the work is to study the process of socialization of higher education students as a factor
in ensuring sustainable development goals in Ukraine and to identify effective mechanisms for promoting this process
in the university environment.
Methods. To identify the degree of development of the problem, methods of theoretical analysis of scientific,
psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature were used, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis,
generalization and systematization, which allowed us to systematically consider and characterize the research concepts,
form conclusions and determine prospects.
Results. The relevance of the problem under study in the context of today's challenges is substantiated, as is the
importance of socialization of higher education students for the formation of a socially responsible personality capable
of acting in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. The process of socialization of higher education
students is considered as a key factor in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Ukraine. The role of
higher education in the formation of active citizenship, environmental awareness, social responsibility, and digital
literacy of students was investigated; the influence of key factors of socialization, in particular academic culture, student
self-government, volunteer activities, and interaction with public organizations, on the personal and professional
development of students was investigated. The main challenges of students' socialization are identified and effective
ways to overcome these problems are proposed. It is found that the socialization of higher education applicants largely
depends on the quality of the educational environment, the level of academic culture, and the active participation of
students in public life. It is proven that the introduction of innovative educational technologies, the development of
student self-government and support for volunteer activities contribute to the formation of a socially responsible
personality oriented towards the principles of sustainable development. The prospects for socialization in the context of
the modern educational space and sustainable development processes are identified.
Conclusions. Socialization of higher education students is a necessary condition for achieving sustainable
development goals in Ukraine, as it forms civic responsibility, environmental awareness, and entrepreneurial thinking
among young people. The development of an interdisciplinary approach in educational programs and active interaction
of students with public institutions will contribute to a more effective integration of young people into the social
environment and their readiness to address the current challenges of sustainable development
