Abstract

The article is devoted to the substantiation of the general (framework) methodology for creating correct methodologies of university rating, capable of correctly (truly, in accordance with reality) rating universities, primarily top ones. The conceptual principles of such a methodology are formulated. It is based on a mission approach to determining university and rating excellence, which involves determining the criterion-indicator base of the rating both by its mission and by the mission of the university, especially a globally leading institution. The essential definitions of the relevant missions as key system-forming factors are provided. The criterion for formulating the true mission is proposed. The principle of mission minimization of the list of necessary and sufficient rating criteria/indicators and the principle of their mission synergy for the unambiguous orientation of university development are substantiated. The general methodology prevents the despecification of rating and university missions, the dissynergization of rating criteria and indicators, their divergence and fragmentation and disorienting effect. This methodology covers methodologies of both simple (mono) and complex (complex), both general (institutional) and sectoral (extra-academic subjects) ratings. The methodology built on the above principles will contribute to the acceptance of ratings as objective and reliable assessment tools, the effective use of the Berlin IREG principles for creating rating methodologies, the acceleration of the formation of a university rating culture and its legislative regulation in Ukraine, the further development of university science. This is important for developing a strategy for the formation of leading universities of the highest excellence (strategy-2), the implementation of the second dimension of the European Higher Education Area in terms of achieving its competitiveness and attractiveness, the approach of victory in the Russian-Ukrainian war, the innovative restoration of the country, the establishment of Ukraine as a strong European-integrated state.
