The article reveals the educational potential of BYOD technology for the formation of scientific research competence of master's degree students. It is noted that the use of this technology in terms of offline, online and mixed studying helps higher education students acquire skills necessary to analyze, generalize, systematize and compare information. In addition, information retrieval and critical analysis skills are successfully formed. The differences in the application of this technology in conditions of individual and group work with master’s degree students are shown.
