Introduction: The strengthening of integrative processes in science has led to a rethinking of the purpose of interdisciplinary connections in higher education. The relevance of the research is due to the importance of introducing into the educational process such interdisciplinary connections that can improve the quality of education, ensure the integrity of the competence-based approach to learning, the possibility of mobility and adaptability in practice. Accordingly, the purpose of the study is to analyze the interdisciplinary connections of rhetoric with other disciplines taught at the university, as well as ways to increase their effectiveness. Methods: In the course of the research, a set of complementary general scientific (analysis, generalization of pedagogical experience, classification, etc.) and pedagogical (comparative analysis of pedagogical concepts, pedagogical observation of the educational process; description of types of interdisciplinary connections, etc.) methods was used. Results: First, the author examines the traditional forms of interdisciplinary connections, through which integration relations between academic disciplines are established for better assimilation of educational material by students. Of all the variety of such connections in university practice, the following are particularly relevant: methodological interdisciplinary connections that help to realize the dialectical interrelation of academic disciplines; meaningful interdisciplinary connections that require an integrative presentation of the material reflecting the achievements of all involved in the process of cognition of sciences; operational interdisciplinary connections responsible for the formation of complex skills and abilities. Next, the interdisciplinary connections necessary for the formation of complex competencies are considered. It is proposed to develop a unified program for the formation of such competencies with an accurate record of the contribution of each discipline to this process. Finally, in conclusion, a number of forms are proposed for participation in the interdisciplinary work of disciplines excluded from the legal education program.
