Abstract
The article examines the importance and relevance of the risks faced by universities in the activities of the university and examines the management of identified risks using a risk map. The authors analyzed the state of risk awareness in the domestic and foreign scientific and pedagogical literature. In order to determine the significance of the risks encountered at the university, many types of risks are differentiated. University risk management should be based on generally accepted approaches, educational features, and a specific classification of risks and risks of the university. Higher education is an area characterized by certain risks. The definition, forecasting and assessment of risks of the educational organization should be carried out in the context of the quality of training of students, comply with approved quality goals, as well as established norms and requirements of educational standards.
