On the basis of the Educational and Professional Program of the first (bachelor) level of the specialty 053
Psychology, a set of professional competencies that future psychologists should master during their studies at
a higher education institution has been covered. The components of the professional competence of future
psychologists are determined: theoretical knowledge; practical skills and abilities; personal and professionally
important qualities. Ways of developing the professional competence of future psychologists in modern
conditions are proposed: improvement of the content of future psychologists’ professional training; introduction
of innovative learning technologies, use of interactive teaching methods and techniques, unity of formal and
informal forms of education; organization of practical training of future psychologists; creation of a system of
psychological support for the professional development of future psychologists. It was found that among the
personal and professionally important qualities of future teachers there are the following: the ability to empathize;
communicativeness; stress resistance; reflexivity; interest etc. Proposed methods of increasing the effectiveness
of the development of professional competence of future psychologists: traditional (lectures, seminar classes,
practical classes, scientific and practical activities, practice, etc.); interactive (brainstorming, discussions,
debates, analysis of professional (problem) situations, modelling, teaching others, etc.); innovative (project
activities, classes using ICT, group work, soft skills development, etc.). The perspective of the research is to
study ways of developing the professional competence of future psychologists during various types of practice.
