Abstract:
The article analyzes the structure of professional consciousness, focusing on the mastering of professional language in the process of higher education.

The author emphasizes the importance of learning a foreign language to expand the possibilities of professional communication. He notes that memorizing phrases and terms is not enough, and for deep language acquisition it is necessary to build a systematic representation of the material. Mastering a professional language in the context of intercultural communication will increase the effectiveness of professional activity and successfully interact with representatives of other cultures.
