To analyze the components affecting the socialization of higher education applicants during studying at higher educational institutions in wartime, to identify the factors promoting or impeding the students' social integration. Methods. To identify the degree of problem development, the methods of theoretical analysis of scientific, psychological, pedagogical and methodological literature have been used, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization and systematization, which made it possible to systematically consider and characterize research concepts and draw conclusions and determine prospects. Results. The relevance of the problem under study in the context of the challenges of a full-scale invasion in Ukraine has been substantiated. The components of the socialization of higher educational applicants in the context of military conflict have been studied. It is determined how external stressors, such as forced relocation, loss of loved ones, threat to life and changes in the social environment, affect the formation of personal traits and life orientations of students.

Conclusions. During wartime, the process of socialization of higher educational students changes dramatically and considers the influence of a number of factors. The findings of the study emphasize the importance of further attention to the socialization of students in crisis conditions. A comprehensive approach to studying this problem will contribute to the development of effective educational practices and promote the development of resilient and socially active individuals. The results of the study can be useful for developing support programs for students studying in conflict situations, as well as for further research in this area.
