Now the world needs globally competent people – able to understand global problems, understand and accept cultural differences, ready and able to interact. The relevance of the study is due to the need for continuous formation of global intercultural competence at all levels of education. If the structure of global intercultural competence and the content of education are defined for the school, then for secondary vocational and higher education they are not: some components of global intercultural competence are formed in the disciplines related to the study of a foreign language. Systematic training on the formation of global inter-cultural competence in colleges and universities, as a rule, is not carried out. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for purposeful formation of global intercultural competence of students, to determine its structure at the stage of general and professional education, to present the content of education at each stage of the "school – college – university" system. In the study of the problem, systemic and competence-based approaches were used. The key research method is modeling. The categories "global competence", "intercultural competence", "global intercultural competence" are analyzed. The necessity of purposeful formation of global intercultural competence at the levels of "school", "college", "university" is proved. Theoretical significance of the article: the definition of the term "global intercultural competence" is given, the structure of global intercultural competence at the levels "school", "college", "university" is defined, taking into account the PISA study and the requirements of federal state educational standards of secondary vocational and higher education.
