Abstract: The article examines the key challenges faced by Ukraine’s higher education system in the context of full-scale war: infrastructure destruction, demographic crisis, limited resources, disruption of academic mobility, and risks to participants in the educational process. The author analyzes how higher education institutions have adapted to the new realities by developing elements of resilience, in particular the transition to digital formats, the development of psychological support, internationalization, and cooperation with international partners. Particular attention is paid to the concept of “shared resilience,” where not only institutions but also the initiative of students and teachers themselves play a key role in preserving the educational process. The strategic directions for the transformation of the higher education system are also outlined: optimization of the network of higher education institutions, introduction of innovative practices, financial flexibility, quality improvement, and development of international cooperation. In summary, the resilience of higher education in the context of armed conflict lies in its ability to adapt, maintain integrity, and ensure development even in crisis situations, forming a new educational model that meets the challenges of the times. The article addresses the issue of obtaining education and the educational process in Ukraine under martial law for people who have been forced to change either their place of residence or their educational institution. It notes that during martial law, representatives of foreign educational institutions are developing loyalty programs to support Ukrainian students and future students in financing their education. In particular, assistance programs from the European Union play an important role in supporting Ukrainian education. It is noted that a striking example of such assistance is the Erasmus+ program.
