Summary/Abstract: The visual culture, as an essential part of visual literacy, is an interdisciplinary concept that is important for transcultural thinking. In 2019, a project funded by the National Science Fund of the Ministry of Education and Science was launched, entitled “Creation and development of educational and scientific facilities for documentary and applied photography as part of the training of students in the professional field 3.5. “Public Communications and Information Sciences”, which is implemented in the period 2018 –2020. The paper presents the results of a study on “Forming the visual literacy of students undergoing training in the professional field 3.5. “Public Communications and Information Sciences” at ULSIT in hours of documentary and applied photography”. From the obtained results it can be concluded that the level of knowledge, mastery and application of visual literacy among students is satisfactory, but they can continue to improve their skills in terms of visual culture with an appropriate training module in Visual Literacy and Visual Thinking.
