Rules of entry

1. Applicant's questionnaire. (On the first page of the questionnaire, glue your photo, 3x4 cm in size).

2. Copy of the first page of your passport.

3. Medical certificate 086 / o. (The certificate for applicants to universities is issued and filled in by doctors of the local clinic).

4. Certificate of vaccination (copy).

5. Characteristic-recommendation of the pastor of the local church. (Ask your pastor to fill in the appropriate characteristic-recommendation and send it or hand it in a sealed envelope to the coordinator of the ZBS Admissions Committee. If the pastor is a relative of yours, then ask another church leader to fill out the appropriate reference form.

6. Two references from two ministers. (Ask two responsible ministers who are not related to you to fill out the appropriate references and send them or hand them in sealed envelopes to the ZBS Admissions Coordinator.

7. Appendix to the certificate of complete secondary education (copy). (This is an evaluation sheet indicating the list of studied disciplines and grades).

8. Supplement to the diploma of higher education (copy). (If you graduated from high school, please include a copy of the evaluation / score sheet in the application package).

There are several alternatives to submit the application package to the ZBS Admissions Committee. You can send the package of documents by mail; you can hand it over through a trusted person. You can also bring the package of documents yourself, having previously agreed your arrival with the coordinator of the admission committee.

When the admission committee receives the package of documents and reviews them, the applicant is invited to an entrance exam and an interview.

Entrance exams and interviews take place from August 5 to 26.
‍
The entrance exam assesses:
1. Your knowledge of the content of the canonical books of the Bible;
2. The level of academic preparation;
3. The ability to make a general plan for a sermon, Bible lesson or testimony.

During the interview, the applicant needs to demonstrate the obviousness of revival from above, basic knowledge of the basics of the Christian faith, initial experience of serving in a local church, desire and goals of studying at the ZBS, as well as a level of knowledge sufficient to adequately perceive the educational process.

Find out the decision of the Admissions Committee and prepare for your studies.
‍
An applicant's admission is determined by the availability of all the necessary documents, the number of points scored at the entrance exam and the interview. After the members of the Admissions Committee make their decision, the Admissions Coordinator will contact you to inform you of the results and the decision of the Admissions Committee.

VOLUNTARY DONATIONS

The training process is funded by voluntary donations from churches and individuals. Therefore, we ask you to pray for the needs of ZBS and for the possibility of covering the costs of your studies. We expect that the student or the local church that recommends the student will make voluntary donations to partially cover the costs associated with the student's education:

At the full-time department - 1300 UAH per semester (2 semesters in an academic year).
At the part-time department - 500 UAH per session (5 sessions in an academic year).
At the master's program - 600 UAH per session.

However, we understand that each local church and each student may have a different financial situation, so the inability to donate to tuition is not an obstacle to enrollment at ZBS. We consider each situation individually.
