The monographic method was used for the logical presentation of the results. Results. The aestheticization of the educational process in higher education institutions is a crucial aspect that ensures the comprehensive development of students, the formation of their creative potential and aesthetic competence. The role of aesthetic principles, which contribute not only to a deeper understanding of cultural phenomena but also to the development of social and communicative skills, is established. The aestheticization of the educational environment includes the integration of artistic practices, cultural and artistic events that enrich the academic experience of students and increase their motivation to learn.

The importance of aesthetic competence is analysed, which includes the ability of students to perceive and evaluate aesthetic values, as well as their participation in cultural projects and creative initiatives. It is found that students’ aesthetic social activities help them to integrate better into the social environment, developing creativity and critical thinking.

It is emphasised that the successful implementation of the aestheticization of the educational process requires an integrated approach, including the adaptation of curricula, the active participation of teachers and students, and the involvement of parents.
