The relevance of the article is due to the problem of the formation of professional competence among students in the context of the development of a digital educational environment in higher school. The purpose of the article is to analyze the constituent components of the educational information environment at the university. As practice has shown, in the development of education digitalization, this factor determines the need to improve all types of support for the educational process, including the information technology. The transition to digitalization of education initiates the need keep the activities of academic staff in the information and educational environment of the university, methods for its implementation and the search for new information technologies. At the same time, it is important to note that in the context of digital development of education, it is necessary to examine the development of the information and educational environment at the university. The main hypothesis of the study is based on the assumption that the level of formation of professional competence among students will increase if the essence and content of the information and educational environment is revealed in relation to the process of formation of professional competence among university students. The structure of the information and educational environment of the university is theoretically substantiated, which makes the basis for the formation of professional competence in students in the context of education digitalization. The development of the information and educational environment of the university would allow us not only to regulate the theoretical approaches to the study of the concept of "students’ professional competences formation", but also to improve the practical work for their formation. It should be noted that the educational information environment created at the university provides students as subjects in their activities (educational, research, professional, etc.) with such conditions and opportunities under which the formation of professional competence is carried out in the process of studying at the university.
