In the process of research, it has been found out that the concept of "creativity" means the ability of a person to produce new and unusual ideas, think unconventionally, solve problems creatively and quickly. It has been found that creativity has many definitions, each researcher considers this concept from a certain point of view, highlighting one or another aspect of creativity. The article finds that students' creativity includes various indicators: originality, uniqueness, curiosity, developed imagination, propensity to reasonable risks, interest in complex things and ideas and more. Therefore, the authors of the article emphasize the need to use in the educational process of higher education methods that promote comprehensive training of future professionals and the development of their creative thinking. To study the gender features of the development of creativity in future psychologists, the authors of the article conducted an empirical study among students of psychology studying at Khmelnytskyi National University. According to the results of the study, it is established that most students of psychology have average levels of development of personal traits of creativity, creative abilities and creative potential. But girls studying in Psychology have a slightly better level of development of creative potential and creative abilities than boys who also study in this specialty. Based on the results of the research, recommendations for students-psychologists on the development of creativity as an important component of their successful future professional activity have been developed.
