The article includes the results of pilot studies of professional identity and creativity, resilience of students in a context of professional resilience. The sample consisted of students of Novosibirsk State Technical University (80 and 51 participants respectively). Methods of the research were theoretical analysis and psychological tests.

The professional resilience is a complicated system of personal (internal and existential) and organizational resources, which are necessary to sustain well-being of a professional. It was found that most students have medium and high levels of resilience.
