The article is devoted to the theoretical study of the morality of the individual as a component of the professional training of future specialists. The scientific views of domestic and foreign scientists who studied the problems of the phenomena of "morality" and "morality", moral development of the individual and military ethics were analyzed. A significant number of researchers take the position of synonymy of these concepts, "morality" and "morality", and emphasize that the development of moral qualities of an individual is a rather complex problem that is in the field of view of many specialists in various fields.
In the process of theoretical research, it was established that under the category of "morality" scientists understand the internal (spiritual and mental) traits of a person, which are based on the ideals of goodness, justice, duty, honor, and are manifested in the behavior of a person in relation to society and nature. The authors of the article revealed and summarized the content of morality in various discourses. It is emphasized that high demands are placed on modern specialists, which are related to their competence, high level of professional training and personal qualities, and reflect the morality of the individual, which is a component of his professional culture. The specifics of the formation and development of morality in students of higher education during their studies in institutions of higher education with specific conditions of study have been determined. It was found that the morality of the border guard officer acts not only as a regulator of his professional training, but also as a factor of public trust in the border service, effectiveness of professional tasks, preservation of human dignity in the process of exercising power. Thanks to the formation of morality in higher education students, they will be able to fulfill their professional duty at a high professional level - to serve for the benefit of the state and society. Based on the analysis of scientific sources on the issue of morality of future specialists, ways of improving the moral component of the professional training of future border guards officers were considered. The further use of theoretical approaches to the study of the problem of individual morality is proposed.
