Higher education in the contemporary world is at the stage of profound and radical changes. Traditional informational and professional education is becoming increasingly unperspective. In the foreground there is the formation of such competencies that would allow students to successfully adapt to changing situations and overlapping information flows and make effective local decisions in the world of increasing digitalization, globalization, cosmopolitanization and mobility, or become global citizens. This is associated with the revival of interest to liberal arts education in a variety of regions. The article poses two problems. First, the author seeks to clarify the features of the interpretations of liberal education in the context of the newest social processes. These processes show that we face today the most difficult task to offer education for an unknown future. Secondly, the author presents the experience of implementing the model of liberal education in the European Humanities University (Vilnius, Lithuania), taking into account the mentioned contexts, in cooperation with a number of universities in Europe, Asia, USA. The structure and content of the core curriculum offered by the university is described.
