The study involved qualitative and analytical analysis of students from the Master's program in Smart City: New Technologies at L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University. Results. One of the study's main outcomes is developing a theoretical model for the individualised learning route based on the competency approach. Additionally, it lays out the prerequisites for developing the unique educational trajectory that is built upon this methodology. Conclusions. The outcomes of this study are of considerable interest due to their assessment of the real prospects for introducing a competency-based approach into the methodology of forming an individual trajectory in the existing educational system. This research highlights the potential benefits of a competency-based approach in improving the quality of education by making learning more personalised and relevant to individual needs.
