The purpose of the article is to find changes in the value sphere of higher education seekers as a component of the humanitarian security of the state. Dialogue and “Value Orientations'' methods were used in the study. As the result of the analysis of received data, the research hypothesis on changes in the structure of values of students during education in a higher educational institution as a reflection of the humanitarian security of the society was confirmed. Structural changes in terminal and instrumental values indicate the loss of individuals and an increase in conformism during education in higher educational institutions. The prevalence of values of freedom, health, and active life in the psychological hierarchy of first-year students indicates positive manifestations of humanitarian security. Students were found to become more oriented to future professions and material well-being while studying in higher education institutions. The negative tendencies of the value sphere of students are the low significance of empathy, honesty, broad-mindedness, discipline, creativity, and concern for the welfare of the social environment. The destabilisation of humanitarian security in the system of higher education manifests through the reduction of possibilities of personal development of education seekers. In general, it is possible to recognize the influence of higher education on humanitarian security by ensuring economic stability and personality development. The significance of the obtained results lies in their use for optimising educational work in the higher education system. Perspectives of future scientific research lie in the conduction of longitudinal studies of the value sphere of students as a reflection of the transformation of humanitarian security of society.
