The university must constantly ask itself questions: who we teach, how we teach and what, what set of competencies a graduate should have. They cannot be answered once and for all due to the variability of the world. On the other hand, the system of the basic part of education is undergoing a transfor-mation in general. Now higher education institutions have time to put together their own vision, formats and models, taking into account the Concept of the development of higher education and science, to determine what is right for us. In May, the Karaganda University of Kazpotrebsoyuz hosted a series of strategic design and analytical sessions to discuss the transformation of the ed-ucational process aimed at finding relevant formats, forms and content of modern higher and postgraduate education. This is the approach chosen in order to involve a large number of interest-ed parties.
