The aim of the article is to study, identify and analyze the problems that arise in the context of transformation processes in higher education in Ukraine, also identifying the areas of research that remain understudied. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by higher education institutions (HEIs) of Ukraine during the transformation, and their comparison with similar processes in foreign HEIs. To achieve the set aim, the method of thematic analysis was used. This method is usable for systematic identification, classification and analysis of the main problems that arise in Ukrainian HEIs, taking into account the existing research of Ukrainian scholars. In addition, a secondary study was undertaken to collect additional data for further classification and categorization. The article provides information on the main challenges that arise in HEIs of Ukraine within the framework of their transformation processes, and compares them with similar phenomena in foreign HEIs. This creates a basic framework for understanding the main aspects that need attention in the context of the transformation of higher education in Ukraine. In addition, the article highlights specific challenges that have a limited amount of research in the scientific literature of Ukraine, which paves the way for further research in this direction. These results are of practical importance for further research on the challenges associated with transformation processes in Ukrainian HEIs, as well as for filling gaps in scientific research. This involves moving on to the practical aspects of addressing these challenges and developing effective solutions. Potential areas for further research may include the creation of a comprehensive, holistic approach to the management of transformation processes or a separate consideration of each challenge, taking into account the unique context of higher education institutions in Ukraine.
