“…Such student expectations are completely understandable, which in turn, requires extremely high qualification hold by university teachers. In this case, relations between university and business play a crucial role as they might be essential for better utility of university education in the future (Sadirkhanov, 2009;Rasul, Bukhsh, Akram, 2010). A modern university is forced to constantly search for a dialogue with society for reassuring academic activity success and the high prestige of the institution.…”

The problems of university education though retain a complex character still become more and more pressing issues for a number of reasons. Labour market dynamics and a changing society require flexible, innovative and creative possibilities of lifelong learning. Higher education institutions are not limited to primary professional training of students. Therefore, it is necessary to search for the new possibilities of improving the skills of specialists and professionals changing personal specializations, developing individual abilities and acquiring high level professional competences. Continuing education at universities plays a fundamental role in choosing strategy priorities identified in the field of European education. Thus, it is necessary to strive for the highest standards of scientific activities, studies and obtained results acknowledged by the international community. On the other hand, a competition between universities becomes more intense at both the national and international level. Insufficient focus on a consumer (student) and offered services decreases the quality of studies and acquired education.Solutions made to any problem require relevant and accurate information. Research on the students' opinions about the questions of university education has remained a serious matter. Moreover, this is how fairly objective primary information about the processes taking place in this sector can be obtained. Empiric research (N=544) carried out in January -February 2012 showed controversial student positions on university education. The students' opinions may vary depending on the sex and the year of studies. It has been discovered that female rather than male students more positively evaluate the majority of aspects of university education.

“…In recent decades, emphasis has been placed on knowing the future in the form of futures research, which means predicting and visualizing probable rather than definite futures by analyzing current resources, conditions, and planning and planning to prepare for them (Davidson, 2017). The future of science and art research is the discovery of the future and the formation of a desirable world and a systematic tool for evaluating scientific and technological developments that can have a major impact on education, industry, health and quality of life (Rasul & et al, 2010). Futurology is a set of efforts that uses resource analysis, patterns and factors of change or stability to study and cognize the future and plan for it to prepare humans for unexpected future events (Tyagi & Dua, 2015).…”
