The purpose of this study is to determine the methods of designing the normative content of education in Russian technical universities according to the Russian professional standards and the EU Qualification Framework. The content of the professional training of bachelors comprises four educational programs at four technical universities in the Republic of Tatarstan. Over 250 students took part in the survey aimed at assessing their professional skills and knowledge in compliance with professional standards by means of specific tasks designed for this purpose. This allowed us to determine the design of the program and to assess the educational staff awareness of the importance of professional standardization. According to the expert evaluation, the normative content of professional training in the university allows providing higher-level education in case of closer cooperation.
