Abstract
The development of the quality of higher education is a priority for the modern state policy of Ukraine. To implement the quality standards of higher education adopted in the European Higher Education Area, Ukrainian departmental universities are adapting the European experience, forming an internal quality assurance system. Departmental universities have been establishing an internal system of quality assurance since 2016. At this stage, the relevant provisions on the level of the universities have been developed to regulate the distribution of powers between different departments of the HEI. Another direction of quality assurance is cooperation with external stakeholders, in particular public organizations of various levels. Based on the analysis of examples of interaction between departmental higher education institutions of Ukraine and international non-governmental organizations available on the websites of relevant institutions, a conclusion was made about the discrete nature of cooperation and the lack of public information about the cooperation. According to information on the sites the universities and international NGOs cooperate in the form of joint public events of academic character, they organise training, conferences and round tables. International non-governmental organizations have great potential to ensure the quality of specialized higher education, in particular, in the joint development and revision of educational programs with universities, educational activities involving international experts, conducting international seminars and workshops, joint projects. Moreover, non-governmental organizations can provide educational services of non-formal education; to carry out projects addressed to local communities in partnership with higher education institutions. The author considers non-governmental organizations to be an important mechanism for articulating public interests and requests of citizens and local communities which is critically important for the departmental universities. To realize this potential of cooperation, it is necessary to establish additional documents (regulations, concepts), which will detail the mechanism of cooperation between the departmental university and the non-governmental organization
