The active involvement of students to the scientific research is regarded as an important component of a student-centered approach at the organization of their high quality training for future professional activities. It means that student has the opportunity to choose independently the most suitable direction of scientific research. There were highlighted the most significant components of the successful implementation of the students’ scientific work, which contributes to the expansion of worldview, gaining empirical experience and will provide a certain advantage in today’s highly competitive labor market. Participation in international scientific forums stimulates the improvement of students’ knowledge of English as a universal instrument of international communication. The necessity of popularization of modern achievements of pharmaceutical science among students was emphasized. It places the great responsibility on scientific supervisors. The scientific superviser himself should continuously work on his progress in science and be a good example for students, in particular: have the appropriate level of publishing activity in peer-reviewed journals, systematically report the results of experimental research at scientific forums of various levels, participate in the international research projects and grants. Some elements of the online communication due to pandemic COVID-19 worth to be used for the optimization the students’ scientific research after the end of quarantine restrictions.
