The strategic orientation of any modern educational organization is to achieve competitive advantages in the market of educational services. The competitiveness of the university is directly dependent on the quality of its educational services. Evaluation of the quality of education, in turn, goes to such concepts as the rating of the university and its accreditation. Discussion of this area of higher education is actively conducted in the academic community, but its research, especially in the realities of the digital economy, is insufficient, which makes this publication relevant. The purpose of the study is to identify the actual features of achieving high competitiveness in the conditions of digital transformation by a domestic university. To do this, it is necessary to analyze the existing experience of Russian higher education in terms of responding to the challenges of digital transformation and develop recommendations for achieving high quality education in modern conditions. The research methodology is based on the theoretical foundations of professional education and the competitiveness of Russian universities. The article analyzes the domestic and international experience in assessing the quality of education, while proving that the main criterion for assessing the competitiveness of a university is the quality of learning outcomes. Methods of comparative analysis, observation and generalization are used. The study proves that modern Russian higher education does not always adequately respond to the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation. A number of systemic problems hindering the achievement of high quality of modern higher education are identified. The necessity of combining the introduction of innovative technologies of the educational process with the preservation of the advantages of traditional education is confirmed. Promising directions of constructive interaction of the university with the most important stakeholders of higher education – employers are proposed.

Many researchers agree that the main activity of the university is the provision of educational services. But they do not give an unambiguous definition in what form the service exists, what is meant by the product or product of the university, as well as how the concepts of "educational service" and "quality of education" are related and also practically do not ask the question of what role the subjectivity of the consumer plays (students, etc.) in the consumption of these services. On the one hand, it is obvious that the problem of consumption of educational services is largely a problem of the quality and price of education: the quality of educational services and prices for educational services. Experts who talk about the development of a person's creative and predictive abilities in relation to the ethical component in the changing educational and social conditions believe that at present, especially, more and more new requirements are imposed on the quality of education. Taking into account the constant variability of the social environment, the very concept of "quality of education" in the future will constantly transform. On the other hand, the problem of formulating the concept of "educational services" has not yet been resolved. In general, an educational service is a complex process aimed at transferring knowledge and skills (competencies) of a general educational, professional nature to the consumer in order to satisfy and develop personal, group and social needs. The quality of educational services changes due to changes in the qualifications of personnel, material and technical base and other elements inherent in the educational process, as well as the quality of students, including their learning ability and other characteristics. The purpose of the study is to analyze the problems of subjectivity in the context of the consumption of educational services.

The current situation in secondary education is characterized by the development of various educational institutions, which differ not only in educational programs and curriculum, but also in the conditions for training and educating, which make up the educational environment of modern educational institutions. The importance of studying the processes of forming the educational environment in a modern school is relevant, since the quality of education and upbringing of modern students who spend most of their time in the educational environment of schools will depend on its organization. Studying the problems of organizing the educational environment is also important in the sense that it is the qualitative approach to this process that will determine in the future if it is possible for students to receive high-quality educational services. The influence of the educational environment on the modern student is determined today, first of all, by the students' perception of the educational process, their involvement in the process of its creation and improvement. The effectiveness of the educational environment may also depend on how the student perceives it. So, the educational environment can be an effective means of developing the potential of the student, but if it is an integrated space for the interaction of children and adults (parents, teachers).
