The article describes the key trends in education for the IT and radio electronics sectors, considers the comparative analysis of approaches to organization of scientific and educational activities in 30 foreign and domestic universities leading in subject ratings of QS Computer Science & Information Systems and Engineering – Electrical & Electronic. Characteristics of the trends are: • close and constantly increasing integration of educational and scientific fields of activity, which is reflected in the emergence of interdisciplinary educational programs, linking the educational process to research in breakthrough areas of knowledge and the formation of specific university ecosystems aimed at leadership in specific technologies; • the variety of forms of organization of the educational process, the orientation towards modularity, individuality and continuity, which are actively used in the promotion of educational services; • the general backlog of Russian universities from IT practice and expectations of the real sector. The research methodology included analysis of the content and models for the implementation of educational products, expert opinions on the requirements for the formation of IT professionals. As a result, disparities between current industry trends, the current situation in education and demands of the real sector were defined. In the context of the example of a number of master’s programs developed at the Institute of Radioelectronics and Information Technologies of the Ural Federal University, a mechanism for integrating science, education and consulting in order to develop highly-demanded interdisciplinary educational products has been demonstrated. The results of the research can be used by domestic and foreign universities working in IT-segments, to increase competitiveness and implement strategic scientific and educational initiatives.
