The purpose of the article is to identify and substantiate the possibilities of increasing the didactic potential of theoretical training of students in the formation of professional competencies of students in the university. The research methodology consists of analysis and generalization of the results of scientific research of Russian and foreign scholars reflecting the ideas of actual approaches to training in higher education, namely, competency-based, contextual and interdisciplinary approaches, among which the competency-based approach is the leading one. Results. Based on the analysis of educational theory and practice, the basic didactic principles, which allow building the theoretical training of students in a competently oriented format, are derived and substantiated, namely the principle of the professional orientation of education, the principle of interdisciplinary integration and the polycontextuality of the subject of education.
