This article examines the challenges and solutions related to organizing independent learning in higher education institutions of foreign countries. Independent learning is increasingly recognized as a key factor in developing students' academic autonomy, critical thinking, and lifelong learning skills. The study highlights various international practices that promote effective self-directed education, including the use of foreign study programs, flexible curricula, digital learning platforms, and individualized support systems. It also analyzes the role of institutional structures, faculty mentorship, and cross-cultural exposure in shaping students’ motivation and responsibility in the learning process.
