The article deals with the issue of developing bioethical competence in future biotechnologists. The importance of including ethical training in their professional education is emphasized in order to promote critical thinking, ethical decision-making and a deep sense of responsibility. By equipping biotechnologists with the knowledge and skills to resolve ethical dilemmas, we can ensure that biotechnological advances are used in a socially responsible and bioethical manner. The views of scientists on ethical problems arising from the development of biotechnology are presented. The concept of bioethical competence of biotechnologists is characterized and its key components are presented. To develop bioethical competence, a possible curriculum in bioethics for master's students specializing in biotechnology, taking into account its specifics, is proposed. Some common teaching methods aimed at helping students understand and analyze complex ethical issues in the field of biotechnology are presented.
