Q&A
Realis has adapted the educational material taught in Western universities and seminaries for Ukrainian students. This course is based on English-language monographs by contemporary Western theologians, sociologists, and church pastors. Mastery of the material is assessed through seminars and the completion of students’ independent assignments.
First and foremost, a seminar is a space for students to present their personal views on the topic studied. It is your time to share fresh ideas, test your own arguments, and articulate your understanding of the subject.
Assignments are evaluated separately by two Realis instructors, who provide the student with feedback on their independent work.
Students must complete the full course, submit all independent assignments for each module, and write a master’s thesis.
The Realis diploma is an educational institution’s official document certifying the completion of the course material. The Christian Center Realis has been providing education for over 25 years and is a reputable institution in Ukraine, whose authority guarantees the quality of knowledge acquired by graduates. A graduate of the course can use the diploma to pursue a master’s degree at Realis or at other educational institutions.
A master’s diploma is an academic degree awarded based on the taught material and the student’s independent work.
Currently, the Realis Center does not issue state-recognized diplomas; however, we operate according to international quality education standards within the Bologna system. Our programs meet international standards in terms of credit hours, learning formats, and teaching quality.
No, Realis does not award a bachelor’s degree.
