The purpose of the article is to reveal the stages of the initial period in the practical realization of the idea of a national university establishing as a special and unique type of higher education institution through the prism of European experience. The research methodology. The article is based on observance of the principles of historicism, objectivity in the assessment of historical events and phenomena, systematic and comprehensive, which, in their totality, made it possible to reveal the diverse issues that form the subject field of the study. The research novelty lies in the fact that in the research studio for the first time the formation stages of the Ukrainian university education of a sign period in the national history of the Central Rada were distinguished and their main content was characterized; the influence of European traditions of the higher education system formation on the normative provision of similar processes in Ukraine was reflected. Conclusions. As a result of the analysis of the university education formation process in new socio political conditions related to the formation of Ukrainian power structures, the stages of the implementation of the idea, with the definition of the characteristics of each of them, were substantiated. It was proved that at the beginning of the revolution of 1917, according to the requirements of various public organizations and professional forums, the idea of the possibility of Ukrainianization of the existing higher education institutions in the region was prevailing. With the establishment of the General Secretariat, some hope of a positive solution to the issue relied on the coherence of its actions with the authorities of the Provisional Government. It was established that after formation of the Ukrainian People’s Republic (UNR), this process became more precise, resulting in the network opening formation of national high schools of classical type and a number of national universities, respectively, of European practices by the Department of Higher and Secondary Schools of the General Secretariat of Education. In addition, at this stage, representatives of national education and science conducted intensive work on the creation of a Ukrainian version of the university statute. Particular attention was focused on the final period of the existence of the Central Rada, when, on the initiative of the Ministry of Education of the UNR, a project was implemented actively on the unification of the University of St. Volodymyr and Kyiv People’s Ukrainian University. It was concluded that there was not enough time for putting the idea into practice, and therefore it was implemented already at the time of the Hetmanate of P. Skoropadskyi.References
