Contemporary stage of modernization of higher education in Kazakhstan associated with the formation of the valuable ​​students' attitudes toward independent activities, the introduction of competence - based approach and the formation of key competencies of the graduates [1].

Development of a system of the independent students work (ISW) as a separate component in the organization of the learning process is determined by the main idea of ​​the Bologna system - creating conditions for the development of the student individuality, his formation as an independent and mobile subject of professional activity [2].

We conducted surveys of employers which showed that the most popular are not just knowledgeable graduates but those who have different competencies such as:

·        The ability to quickly adapt to changing life and professional situations (88%);

·        Willingness to self-development, to the generation of new knowledge, and to the application of knowledge in practice for solving professional problems (83%);

·        Ability to navigate the flow of information, to use modern technology for its analysis and transformation (75%);

·        The ability to think creatively, critically and independently (68%);

·        Communication skills and ability to work in different teams (62%);

·        Activity in achieving the goals, desire for success (58%).

Analysis of the real needs of employers allowed to reveal that the organization of the ISW (Independent Students Work) in the university requires following:

·        Change the direction of pedagogical activity for self-development of the student;

·        Change the nature of interaction between teacher and student;

·        An integrated approach to the organization of the CDS in all its forms and rational combination of various forms;

·        Orientation of lecture courses on independent work;

·        Providing unified requirements and systematic quality control of works;

·        Development and use of the integrated interdisciplinary tasks system;

·        Development of an array of tasks that involve creative solutions;

·        Implementation of interdepartmental course and diploma projects;

Taking into account above stated, we developed the concept of self-organization of independent students work, which main provisions have been reflected in intra university standards of the educational programs and have been implemented in the Karaganda Economic University.
