As a result, it is shown that the humanities and computer science students manifest different levels of digital competence, which conditions the necessity to develop this competence. The research findings are as follows: the authors propose a model of student researcher digital competence, describe the stages of teaching the description of infographics (introductory, lexico-grammatical, preparatory, practical, digital).
