The article highlights the experience of internal quality assurance of educational activities and the quality of higher education of the Faculty of Social and Psychological Education of Uman State Pedagogical University named after Pavel Tychyna. The current system of internal quality assurance of educational activity and quality of higher education at the Faculty of Social and Psychological Education of Uman State Pedagogical University named after Pavel Tychyna is analyzed. It is established that the internal quality assurance of educational activities and the quality of higher education at the faculty has a systemic nature and is carried out in certain areas that are logically and consistently interconnected, namely: periodic review and updating of educational programs (updating educational programs; preparation of new and improvement of current curricula, monitoring the quality of working programs of academic disciplines, development of syllabuses, informing students about the disciplines of free choice, analysis of the availability of educational and methodological and information support); assessment of applicants for higher education (assessment of students, periodic surveys of participants in the educational process); promoting the principles of academic integrity; monitoring the quality of teaching staff (analysis of the timeliness of internships and in-service training by teachers, monitoring the quality of training sessions by teachers, analysis of compliance with the licensing conditions of staffing); ensuring the availability of necessary resources; ensuring publicity of information. Ensuring the quality of educational activities and the quality of higher education at the Faculty of Social and Psychological Education is ensured by a holistic systematic interaction of all participants in the educational process, faculty and university in the implementation of appropriate internal measures and procedures aimed at improving the quality of education.
