Abstracts: | The implementation of students’ individual educational trajectories (IET) in training ensures variability of content, activities and procedural parts of the educational process as well as enriches the learning environment. The article deals with the experience of IET implementation at Samara University in 2021-2023, highlights its unique features and a dedicated logic of educational track design in respect to the main professional educational programs designed for higher education (MPEPHE) with due regard to the education levels (Bachelor’s and Specialist’s degree programs; Master’s degree programs). The mechanism for Minor Block content filling with academic disciplines pertaining to the brand-based competences of Samara University, based on the open IET discipline competition, is examined in detail. The quality of the individual educational trajectory formation can be assessed based on the analysis of the student audience involvement. The findings of the first-year students survey when they selected IET disciplines are specified in the article, with due regard to the content and organizational features which their choice was based on. Academic achievements and educational outcomes of students when mastering the IET disciplines are fixed in the personal competency profile. The analysis of survey data of the undergraduate and graduate students, who majored in the most in-demand IET academic disciplines, led to conclude that self-reflection, self-awareness and self-determination are extra IET training outcomes. The implementation of the IET model allows for flexible adjustment of educational programs to achieve the performance targets of Samara University.
