Objective of this paper was to analyze the experience of the teaching process implementation in physical education at the University based on standardization criteria, accepted both in Europe and in our country. Deterioration of students' health should become an indicator of quality of teaching process in physical education. Scientific studies showed that due to the lack of knowledge in the field of physical education many students have serious health problems by graduation from the university. Increased focus on the motor component (physical development, physical fitness etc.) in the university teaching process to the detriment of the intellectual component is one of the main reasons that upon graduation sports activities does not transform into a pressing need of each graduate. Therefore, the priority task of the university educational program is to form student's value system, and once a student possesses a certain amount of knowledge needed to deal with specific educational tasks, to convince him of the importance of their solutions both for him and for the society. The educational program in Physical Education developed and applied in St. Petersburg State University meets the challenges set by the government due to the priority given to teaching at the 1st year of study and training (upbringing) in the learning material of the 2nd-4th years. The adoption of three variants of final assessment of general cultural competency in St. Petersburg University helps fit into the global educational process in terms of the signed Bologna agreement.
