Professional development, which is becoming increasingly important in the field of higher education, is aimed at adapting to such a dynamic development, especially affecting teachers. The purpose of this article is to consider the demand for advanced training of university teachers and efforts aimed at meeting the increased requirements for advanced training of personnel in the higher education system. Thus, the authors consider the process of professional development in the field of improving subject knowledge. The authors conclude that professional development becomes a strategic necessity for teachers in a specific context and can be implemented, on the one hand, by considering the expectations and wishes of the participants and, on the other hand, by ensuring the sustainable institutionalization of the concept of professional development.
