The analysis of the professional standards given in the appendix of the project of the updated federal state educational standard of the higher education in the field of 21.03.03 Geodesy and Remote Sensing is carried out. The conclusion is drawn that in a number of professional standards or main types of geodetic activity are not specified, either the generalized labor functions in an explicit form do not have geodetic orientation, or the geodetic directions of preparation and specialty according to OKSO are not specified. The program of a bachelor degree according to FGOS 3++ cannot be limited to substantially provided professional standards. It is necessary to develop professional standards taking into account types of professional activity and generalized labor functions at the solution of scientific and production problems of geodesy for formation of professional competences.
