Abstract

The article discusses the features of organizing and conducting practice-oriented exams in the full-time undergraduate program. As part of the Future Skills project, the university promotes the development of the higher education system, paying special attention to the integration of advanced methods of training for new promising professions and expanding the set of skills necessary to create highly qualified specialists in the modern economy. Methodological recommendations were developed for the integration of modules into the educational process, which introduced curricula both into the main educational process and into elective classes. The Future Skills University project was implemented by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation together with the Agency for the Development of Skills and Professions, as well as with universities starting in 2021. The main goal of the project is to develop and disseminate best practices for training students in promising professions and skills that are relevant in the modern economy. One of the key features of the project is the introduction of individual Future Skills educational modules into existing university programs, which accelerates the integration of future skills and professions into real business and the economy, and also contributes to the development of the country’s human resources potential. The study is based on an analysis of the results of examinations conducted at our university in the period from 2022 to 2023.
