In the article is also argumented the necessity to promote moral values during the university study process (there appear new values to be learned, the situation with morality among young people, negative behavioral patterns, etc.).The development of students’ moral values is correlated with the requirements of modern labor market regarding the profession al and ethical training of university graduates.The results of our recent study demonstrate the desire of students to strengthen through various strategies the moral qualities that define the ethical profile of a person.
