Abstract

The nature of the impact of the epidemiological crisis of spring 2020 on the higher education system is analyzed. It is shown that this crisis encourages the digitalization of higher education as a social institution, and there are conditions under which this institution becomes much more stable with any type of crisis. It is shown that it is necessary to distinguish between specialties that can be attributed to industrial and post-industrial, and the latter mainly include all those related to info-communication technologies. It is shown that the training of specialists in industrial and post-industrial specialties should be carried out according to different schemes, moreover, it should be based on different paradigms. It is shown that due to the possibility of a repeat of the epidemiological crisis in the spring of 2020, the training of specialists in the field of info-communication technologies requires a rapid radical restructuring. This is primarily due to the multiplying volume of information related to this area and the increasing role of interdisciplinary interaction. The already established trend of convergence of information and telecommunications technologies is overlaid with the need for their early integration with medicine (the development of telemedicine systems, neural network diagnostics, etc.).
