Education of Master's degree students at the Institute of Pharmacy is carried out under the educational program "Industrial Pharmacy". Training is oriented to practical activity and forms professional competencies. The purpose of training in the Master's program is to learn to control the requirements for the production of medicines in pharmaceutical production, to implement the rules of the pharmaceutical quality system of production and quality control of medicines, to improve the pharmaceutical quality system of production of medicines. The set goals in training are achievable with the introduction of interactive methods in the classroom. Master's degree teacher is obliged not only to be competent in the issues of the discipline he teaches, but also must improve the learning process according to the modern requirement of the time. Interactive learning is characterized by joint activity of students and teacher. One of the interactive teaching methods is a round table. At the round table class the student consolidates the previously acquired knowledge, expands it by supplementing the missing information, learns to solve problems in the course of discussion. For this purpose, the teacher creates comfortable conditions when all students are involved in the learning process, they understand the material of the topic, know it and think about solving the problem posed by the teacher in the class. The study analyzed the experience of conducting an interactive lesson in the form of a round table in the discipline of pharmaceutical chemistry and drug analysis. The authors conducted a questionnaire survey of master's degree students. According to the results of the survey it was found out that the use of interactive methods in the educational process increased the effectiveness of learning for the majority of students. Almost all master's students participated in the discussion at the class, even those who previously behaved passively in learning. The majority of students noted that their uncertainty in front of the audience disappeared, communication with the teacher and other students during the round table facilitated rapid and productive assimilation of the material. The results of the study can be used in the professional activities of university teachers.
