Since the beginning of the pandemic, significant changes have been made in the sphere of education, where millions of students at universities around the world in order to keep up with the system’s measures taken by the government. Universities have adapted educational activities, a new practice applied in university education - distance learning on a global scale has become the basis for the hypothesis that university education will no longer be identical to the previous model. The paper presents empirical data to support the hypothesis. The qualitative method of the research is based on materials from various sources, including scientific articles, statistical data, grey literature. For collection of the primary data, a survey was conducted by preparing a short questionnaire, which was formatted to collect information reflecting students’ views about the influence of COVID-19 pandemic on the university education. The quantitative method of the research results of the questionnaire survey made it possible to formulate a logical conclusion that confirmed the general hypothesis proposed in the study. The research may be of interest to teaching staff and university administrators for providing better quality of education, taking into account the views of students. Also, the paper can receive further academic research in order to develop deeper knowledge about university education, not only during the pandemic.
