Abstract: The desire ofUkraineto integrate into the European higher education area, to enter the Euro-Atlantic Union (NATO) form new requirements for the competence of scientific and pedagogical workers (NPP), and also requires changes in the standards for training highly qualified doctors of philosophy.The purpose of the article. Analyze the state, identify trends and prospects for the development of the organization of the preparation of candidates for the degree of PhD in the European Union andUkraine.There is an opinion in the political and public circles of the EU: since human resources are the most important wealth, educational policies should be aimed at implementing the three strategic goals to improve the quality of European education, its accessibility, and openness to the whole world.The current, inUkraine, system of certification of scientific personnel provides for a three-stage process of examination of dissertations. The determination of the personal contribution of the applicant to science is carried out at the first stage during the preliminary defense in the research team where the work was directly performed. The second and main stage is the defense of a thesis at a meeting of the academic council. It gives a reasoned conclusion of experts on the novelty, credibility, scientific and practical significance of the results of the thesis. At the third stage, the expert council of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine controls the compliance with the requirements for scientific and practical value imposed on dissertations by specialized councils.The main problem of the existing certification system is multilevel responsibility, which is built irrationally both from organizational (distribution of responsibility between institutions and organizations (councils) is not justified, increases the formal requirements for the dissertation work and creates a circle of “connected” persons), and from economic leads to unjustified duplication of expert activities. In our opinion, it is necessary to eliminate duplication of control functions for the content of dissertations, and in this part, clarify the functions of the expert council, at the same time expanding the powers and responsibilities of project teams and their leaders (specialty guarantors).
