The relevance of the study is due to the growing interest in the issues of the meaning of life and value orientations in a dynamic modern world. The aim of the work is to identify the possibilities of diagnosing the value-meaning sphere in an existential context, as well as to compare its features among first-year and third-year students. The study used the LMO, Existenz-Skala, and TEM methods. The results showed that third-year students demonstrate higher scores on the self-distance and responsibility scales, which indicates the development of personal maturity.
