In the educational process of the Academy (including during by correspondence training) elements of distance educational technologies are used. Currently, the RKhGA ELECTRONIC EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT is being transferred to a new technology platform (Learning Management System Moodle).
Correspondence education (with the use of distance learning technologies) is convenient for students who prefer to work independently in the Electronic Educational Environment of the Russian Academy of Sciences and are ready for remote interaction with a teacher. Suitable, in particular, for students living outside of St. Petersburg, it allows you to individually adjust the schedule of the educational process to suit you. Internet access required.
Interactive interaction with the teacher is carried out according to the schedule of studying the discipline and, as necessary, passing part of the tests and exams on-line in the Electronic educational environment of the Russian Chemical Academy.
It is planned to hold one or two examination sessions per year in St. Petersburg (usually in January or June, lasting 2–3 weeks). During the session, classroom lessons with a teacher are provided (orientation lectures, seminars, practical classes, consultations, practices, trainings, business games, etc.), passing part of the tests and exams, as well as historical and cultural excursions around St. Petersburg, which will help formation of a holistic humanitarian worldview.
Among the professors and associate professors of the Russian Academy of Chemical Sciences are scientists of European renown, authors of unique educational programs, as well as practicing teachers.
The Academy's educational building is conveniently located in the historical center of St. Petersburg (15 Fontanka River embankment), within walking distance from Nevsky Prospekt and the Summer Garden.
During the session, part-time students are required to be granted study leave at their place of work (a certificate of summons is issued at the Academy).
A unique opportunity to receive a high-quality humanitarian education on-line.
Adjust your educational schedule to suit YOUR plans!
To protect you, we let's share 2 key secrets when choosing an institute:
If you have chosen for myself remote form training, look for institutes, which specialize STRICTLY in it. An institute that receives the main profit from full-time education will not economically pay as much attention to quality distance education. Key business activities take up key resources and attention - fact!
When choosing an institute, look for a balance between the number of real hours that will be given to you and their profitability for the institute. You don’t buy smartphones for 3 thousand rubles, do you? How to evaluate quality through the cost of a course? Just take 3 steps.
Let’s say Institute “A” sells you a six-month course of 512 hours for 10 thousand rubles.
Step 1. Subtract minimum 50% for profit and overhead costs, leaving 5 tr. at cost, most of which will go to salaries for teachers conducting webinars.
Step 2. Find out how many webinars will there be and how long will they be?. Let’s say in 6 months there will be 12 webinars of 1 hour each. In total, the institute will spend 12*1=12 hours on you! out of 512h. programs.
Step 3.1. Compare courses at different institutions based on the ratio of actual webinar hours to total program hours. Those. 12*1/512. Where that attitude is more, they will personally pay attention to your training more attention!
Step 3.2. Compare the profitability of an hour of webinar based on the fact that on average there are 10 listeners. 5 tr.*10 people/12 hours = 4.2 tr. The teacher will earn per hour. Average market cost of an hour Ph.D. in Moscow is about 1500 rubles, but not 3 times more.
Conclusion - Institute “A”, dumping on price, receives excess profits from students who were attracted by the low price, providing them with a minimum amount of real teaching time. Do you need this? When choosing an institute, look for a balance between the number of real hours that will be given to you and their profitability for the institute.

In 2010, the Faculty of Theology established Research Center for the History of Theology and Theological Education(head of the center Natalya Yuryevna Sukhova, Doctor of Church History, Doctor of Historical Sciences). The activities of the Center cover the most important issues in the history of church theology, the history and current state of theological education and the methodology of theology.
The purpose of the Center for the History of Theology and Theological Education is to study the historical, methodological and general theoretical aspects of theological science and theological education, their traditions and prospects.
At the same time, the leadership of the Center, on the one hand, relies on the scientific directions already established at the Faculty of Theology. This determined the main projects with which the Center began its work: “Scientific activities of Orthodox theological academies of Russia ( XIX - beginning XX century)", "History of higher theological education in Russia (XIX - early XX century)", "Current state of Catholic theological education", "Filaret's project", "Russian theology of the XVII-XVIII centuries", "Theology and pastoral service in the Russian Orthodox Church (second half of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century." In the future, it is planned, with the help of already established scientific connections and the involvement of specialists, to expand the chronological, geographical and confessional boundaries of research. The connection of theology with other areas is important in the Center's research knowledge, on the one hand, theology with various aspects of pastoral ministry, on the other.Particular attention will be paid to the identification and use of methodology based on the achievements of the domestic and world tradition of theological research.
On the other hand, the Center is aware of its immediate responsibility to contribute to the solution current problems, arising in the scientific and educational activities of the Theological Faculty. Therefore, the topics of specific research within each project are determined taking into account these problems. Based on these considerations, the Center also poses a church-practical task: determining the place, tasks, “key” problems and prospects of theological science and theological education in modern conditions. But the solution to this problem should be based on the study of historical experience, understanding of tradition and corresponding theoretical generalizations, conclusions, and constructions.
The same responsibility prompts the Center to expand the range of labor-intensive, but necessary for further scientific projects: publication of sources, compilation of chronicles, bibliographies, historiographical and source studies reviews, creation of electronic databases. It is planned to post documents, analytical notes, articles and reports on the Center’s website that will allow more people to be involved in research on the Center’s topics. to a wide circle current scientists and students.
