It is obvious that the preparation of a master-transprofessional as a specialist with an additional set and of the necessary competencies of high quality, involves different approaches to education. One of the tools of developing transprofessional competencies is the process approach.

In the process of research such methods as analysis, synthesis, modeling and participant observation were used. The scientific novelty of the research is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of transprofessional competences and process approach as a tool of their development of master's degree students-designers; determining the set of transprofessional competencies and conditions of the process approach application for their development.
