Licence No.04051-83 on the right to implement the professional higher education programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations” was issued on 21 March 2007 (Annex 14, Item 14.6) (education classification code 42345) for conferring the Bachelor degree in management of international relations and the qualification “Head of an external relations unit” (Annex 14, Item 14.4).

2.2. Compliance of the Programme plan with RTU goals and objectives

The goal of Riga Technical University is to provide studies and research

opportunities in the main branches of science of operation of RTU. The study system at RTU is tailored to meet the requirements of the LR laws “On Education”, “On higher education”, “On professional education” and other regulatory provisions and regulations in order to maximally promote the attainment of the goals laid down in the study programmes offered and to facilitate the fulfilment of the objectives defined. The system of studies at RTU is also governed by internal regulatory documents on relations between students and the University, and procedures and processes of organisation and implementation of studies.

Most relevant documents specifying the relations between students and the University are enrolment documents and individual agreements stating the requirements for obtaining education, as well as regulations on internal working procedures.

Most relevant documents and governing bodies regulating, administering and determining the course, procedures and organisation of studies are:

• RTU Charter; • RTU Administration and the RTU Senate; • Faculty Administration and the Faculty Council; • Programme Administration; • Students Self-Government; • Study programme; • Course syllabi.

Students enrolled for studies at RTU are issued the RTU Student’s Identity Card. Upon enrolment, Programme students are entitled to all the rights enjoyed by RTU students as specified by the LR laws “On education”, “On higher education establishments”, the Charter of Riga Technical University, as well as other binding documents.

Students are offered a possibility to master additional courses/subjects, to change the mode of studies and the study programme, incl. the right of the transfer of the grades acquired in other higher education study programmes, as well as to temporarily (but not longer than for 2 years) suspend studies, still retaining relations with RTU.

Regulatory documents governing the activities of the University are available with the Programme Administration and may also be found in the RTU home page in the Internet.

The programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations” valued at 160 credit points is offered as:

• 4-year (full-time), or • 5-year (part-time) 2nd-level professional higher education programme.

Each academic year is divided into 2 semesters, the duration of each semester

being 20 weeks – 16 study weeks and a 4-week examination period. To ensure the attainment of the goals and objectives of the Programme, the 1st

year is devoted to studies of compulsory core subjects – general education courses and subjects common for the whole branch, which form the basis for acquisition of special knowledge and practical skills relevant for further progression. Upon commencement of studies in the Programme students receive short informative material containing the most essential information about organisation and practical realisation of studies, as well as are offered special classes “Introduction into speciality” valued at 1 CP.

2.3. Operation of internal quality management mechanism of the Programme

RTU has its internal quality management system. The quality of the Programme

is assessed by the Programme Administration, the Chair implementing the Programme and the structural units involved, the Faculty Commission of the Branch Study Programmes, the Faculty Council and the RTU Senate, as well as the Faculty Students Self-government.

At RTU the operation of the internal quality assurance mechanism of the Programme is ensured at the following levels:

1. At the level of the service of Vice Rector for Academic Affairs the control is performed by the Department of Academic Affairs. The Department of Academic Affairs is responsible for;

• maintenance and control of the Subjects Registry, which comprises verification of compliance of subjects to the programme of higher education and its content;

Commission of Branch Study Programmes, the Programme Director submits the report thereof to the Faculty Council;

• The quality of study programme is also ensured by involving members of the Faculty Students’ Self-government who are actively participating in

the decision-making bodies of the University: the RTU Academic Convention, RTU Senate, RTU Senate commissions, and the Faculty Council. The Students’ Self-government is conducting students’ survey to find out students’ opinion and generate proposals for improvement of the performance of the Students’ Self-Government, as well as possible improvements with regard to professional performance of academic staff. It has become a tradition for the RTU FEE Students’ Self-government to organize the annual event “Professor of the Year”. The title of the “Professor of the Year” is awarded in several nominations, with candidates being selected based on the results of the questionnaire;

• In the autumn, the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics will commission the new block at 1/7 Meža street in Riga housing lecture rooms and state-of-the-art technical facilities, which will further promote the development of the Faculty as well as enhance the quality of implementation of study programmes;

3. At the level of the Department (chair) and the Programme Administration: • every semester the Programme Administration conducts students’

questionnaires about the quality of work of academic staff and students’ assessment of the study Programme. The results are analyzed at the Programme Administration meetings, Chair meetings and the meetings of the Faculty Council;

• once a year course descriptions and course programmes, methodological materials, latest course literature and methodological guidelines on fulfilment of academic assignments (reports, course papers, practical placement reports and graduation theses) are reviewed;

• academic staff have an opportunity to participate in the courses and seminars organized on the latest instruction and teaching methods and is encouraged to attend various qualification advancement courses;

Programme graduates’ and

employers’ questionnaires and

references.

Assessment of students’ academic performance is based on the requirements of

the Standard of the 2nd-level Professional Higher Education (LR MC Regulations No. 481 of 20 November 2001 (Clause 29 – 32)).

Students’ academic performance results are analysed at the meetings of the Chair of International Economic Relations, Transport Economics and Logistics; and subsequently they are processed and evaluated by the Programme Administration to be used as the basis for further upgrading of the study process.

The basic principles of evaluation of academic performance in the Programme are:

• The principle of aggregation of positive achievements; • The principle of compulsory examination; • The principle of openness and transparency of assessment criteria; • The principle of diversity of forms of assessment; • The principle of accessibility of examination.

Basic methods of assessment of the fulfilment of the Programme are examinations and tests to be passed at the end of each study course, the type of assessment being specified in each particular course syllabi.

Examinations are accepted by the academic staff delivering the specific course or by the academic staff appointed by the head of the respective academic unit.

Tests are assessed as “passed” or “not passed” and are accepted by the academic staff delivering the course.

Besides the final assessment, upon completion of the course there are also current progress tests – current tests, assessment of presentations at seminars, independent academic work assignments etc. Current progress tests are specified in particular course programmes.

Practical placement is assessed as “passed” or “not passed”. Practical placement is evaluated by the placement supervisor and the Placement

Defence Committee when hearing the defence of the placement report, as well as by taking into account the references of the companies hosting placement.

Credit points (CP) are awarded for each course and placement completed, provided that the evaluation grade is at least “4” (almost satisfactory) or it is evaluated as “passed”.

Students are notified about the terms and requirements concerning the final assessment for each academic course, practical placement programmes and the requirements for the defence of practical placement reports as follows:

• conditions, requirements and the list of questions for final assessment of courses are available with the Programme Administration and academic staff conducting the respective course;

• conditions, requirements and questions included in the assessment are elucidated during the first class of each respective academic course.

The Programme completes with the State examination; a part of this examination is the elaboration and defence of the diploma thesis being assessed according to the 10-grade scale. The evaluation criteria for assessing the defence of the diploma thesis are:

• systematisation, consolidation and expansion of theoretical knowledge and practical experience;

• independent work with literary and other sources of reference, incl. also sources in foreign languages;

• skills to formulate theoretical approaches and resolve the problems being investigated, which include writing specific executive summaries, making complex generalisations and coming up with novelty elements;

• analysis of a topical business problem; • elaboration of feasible practical solutions;

• development and consolidation of skills to independently undertake applied research and to defend the results obtained.

The diploma of the 2nd-level professional higher education (Annex 6) is awarded to a student, who has fulfilled the Programme and has passed the state examination with a successful assessment grade (the lowest successful grade being “4” (almost satisfactory)).

This system of evaluation has been effective at RTU since 2001/2002 and has justified itself, allowing to achieve a higher level of acquisition of knowledge and competences, as well as providing transparency and better correspondence of assessment to students’ academic performance (skills and knowledge acquired).

The results of students’ academic progress and performance results are regularly analysed and discussed at the meetings of Programme Administration, Department (chair) meetings; and the results of the defence of diploma theses are also analysed at the FEE Council meetings.

5. Practical implementation of the Programme

Realisation of the Programme is basically coordinated and administered by the Chair of International Economic Relations and Transport Economics and Logistics, at the same time, the content and quality is ensured by the respective institutes and chairs. The academic units involved in providing the studies are:

• Institute of International Business and Customs (IIBC): o Chair of International Economic Relations and Transport

Economics and Logistics; o Chair of Customs and Taxes; o IIBC Language Instruction Group;

• Institute of Production and Entrepreneurship: o Chair of Economics of Production and Entrepreneurship; o Chair of Organisation of Production and Entrepreneurship; o Chair of Entrepreneurship and Human Resources Management;

• Institute of National and Regional Economy: o Chair of Economic Theory and National Economy; o Chair of International and Regional Economy;

• Institute of Occupational Safety and Civil Defence; • Humanities Institute; • Chair of Engineering Mathematics.

The institutes and the chairs and professors’ groups within these institutes ensure the required teaching and methodological work, i.e. they develop and update course syllabi, ensure delivery of required courses, as well as supervision and defence of diploma thesis, as well as development of study and methodological materials.

The Programme is supported by appropriate technical and maintenance personnel.

During acquisition of each course students must pass current tests specified in the syllabi of the particular subject – i.e. fulfil progress tests and/or independent assignments. The completion of acquisition of a subject course is assessed by a test or examination.

Examinations may be taken only by students having fulfilled all programme requirements (i.e. students must have a pass in all the tests and must have fulfilled all independent academic assignments, etc.). Otherwise, students are not allowed to take examinations. Assessment grades are recorded both in each student’s individual academic record book and in the examination sheet of the particular subject.

The final test, if it is not passed within the time specified in the timetable or examination period, is regarded as academic debt. The requirements and procedures for settling academic debts are fixed by the corresponding RTU Senate resolutions.

Students may take final examinations, provided they have passed all final tests/examinations required by the Programme for each academic course.

The student has to choose the theme of the diploma thesis, which is subsequently evaluated at the meeting of the respective chair or professor’s group and after that approved by a special order issued by the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Economics. The diploma thesis must be student’s independent work elaborated in the final semester under supervisor’s guidance.

The studies are organized in lecture-rooms, computer rooms, and practical placement sites. Theoretical and practical classes are held in lecture-rooms and computer rooms, consolidation of theoretical knowledge and mastery of practical skills takes place at practical placement sites.

Considerable improvements have been made with regard to provision and updating of the process of studies. Lecture-rooms are fully renovated and equipped with new furniture and equipment (computers, overhead projectors). Students have access to computer rooms, copying machines, periodicals and course literature; there is also access to the Internet.

Students of the professional higher education programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations” acquire skills that are relevant for pursuing research, working with literary and Internet sources required for successful fulfilment of academic assignments and elaborating the diploma thesis. Students are involved in research; they learn necessary skills from consultations with lecturers and can use scientific and periodical sources available at the Scientific Library as well as resources available in the Internet.

The academic staff successfully integrate novel findings and approaches gained from participation in various research projects and qualification advancement events for upgrading the study process. Students, in their turn, have an opportunity to present the results of their research at annual RTU Students Scientific Conferences and publish them in Conference Proceedings.

The professional Bachelor study programme ”Organisation and management of international economic relations” corresponds to the requirements specified by the Profession Standard. 6.2. Employers’ questionnaires The questionnaire was conducted at the LR Ministry of Economics, the Latvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and SIA “Kuehne & Nagel Latvia”. The results of the questionnaire (Annex 14, Item 14.8) showed that employers positively evaluate the topicality and relevance of the Programme from the perspective of interests of the national economy of Latvia. They regard that it is useful to implement such programme at the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics. Employers also think that, with the development of business and external economic relations of Latvia, the demand for graduates of the Programme will be satisfied (at least for the next six – ten years).

Since 2004, RTU organizes annual RTU Career Days. The goal of this event is to inform students of social and engineering sciences about enterprises operating in the particular branch and bring together students and potential employers. At the same time, Career Days also show the situation in the labour market and the demand for specialists in different branches. The number of enterprises interested in specialists of international economic relations is growing from year to year.

7. Students 7.1. Number of students in the Programme

First students were enrolled in the Programme for the academic year 2007/2008; therefore there are no students in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of the Programme. Currently, there are 35 students in the 1st year, incl.:

• full-time studies – 28;

• part-time – 7. 7. 2. Number of students enrolled in the 1st year

In 2007/2008, 37 students were enrolled in the 1st year of the Programme: 30 (2 students were exmatriculated after the first study semester) for full-time studies and 7 for part-time studies.

7. 3. Number of graduates

The Programme will have its first graduates in 2011. So far specialists of international economic relations were trained in the

programme “Entrepreneurship and management”, in the specialisation “Management of international economic relations”, which became the basis for establishment of the professional Bachelor programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations”. The new programme was established drawing on the long-standing experience amassed in the process of realisation of the academic study programme offered since 1997 and internationally accredited already for two accreditation periods – in 2000 and in 2006. Over the last six years the academic Bachelor programme in the specialisation “Management of international economic relations” had 138 graduates. The competition for being enrolled in the programme has always been very tough and programme graduates have always been demanded in the labour market.

7.4. Students’ questionnaires and analysis

There are two kinds of questionnaires practiced at RTU independently from one another:

• students’ questionnaires are conducted both by the Programme Administration,

• and by the Faculty Students Self-government. The students’ questionnaire distributed by the Programme Administration

(Annex 1, Item 1.9) is tailored so that students’ responses can help to evaluate the course and the quality of performance of academic staff, as well as offers students an opportunity to express their opinion and come up with recommendations for improving the work of the particular teaching staff and upgrading the course syllabi.

Students are requested to fill in questionnaire forms once a semester, evaluating both each study course and the lecturer’s performance delivering the particular course. The questionnaires are anonymous, since, if otherwise, this could affect lecturer’s attitude to a particular student/students’ group; thus they fulfil the main goal of the questionnaire – to obtain objective evaluation from students.

The questionnaires comprise questions about the availability of course literature, lecturer’s assessment criteria, the culture and quality of work, observance of students’ rights in classes, the time devoted to students’ independent work, and study discipline. The final part of the questionnaire is meant for students’ recommendations and suggestions concerning improvement of the quality of the subject course taught as well as lecturer’s work.

27 students returned the questionnaire about the Programme (96% of the students enrolled in the Programme). The results of the questionnaire show that 98% of the lecturers introduce students with the requirements for fulfilling the course and the assessment system in the particular subject. Students have indicated that 35% of lecturers are well prepared for classes, 63% of lectures are very well prepared for classes; the particular content of the course does not duplicate any other courses; lecturers’ explanations are logical, understandable and motivate students’ thinking. 90% of lecturers have covered the whole material envisaged by the respective course syllabus and the time allocated for classes was usefully utilized. 80% of lecturers in their courses have referred to the latest developments and problems in the respective branch. It has to be noted that students were surveyed about all subjects, incl. mathematics, sports activity and foreign languages. Students note that there are certain problems with textbooks. 90% of literature recommended by lecturers is evaluated as useful, but difficult to get. The libraries do not have the required number of units of sources of reference, and in several study fields there is a lack of textbooks in Latvian. Students highly evaluate lecturers which have prepared their own instruction materials and/or handouts for acquisition of the particular course. Students’ main recommendations for improving the Programme are related with inclusion of additional foreign languages and increasing the number of units of textbooks. Several lecturers are recommended to make a more extensive use of audio and visual study aids and computers, projectors, as well as to make study materials available in the RTU internal information system ORTUS.

The results of students’ questionnaires are analyzed at the meetings of Programme Administration, as well as at the meetings of departments and institutes involved, where required, also inviting representatives of the Faculty Students’ Self-government. Students’ questionnaires and the results of the survey are available with the Programme Administration.

The Faculty Students Self-government regularly conducts their own questionnaire about the quality of the study process, the quality of the work of academic staff, as well as other aspects related with organisation of the study process. The results of the questionnaire are submitted to the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Economics (FEE) and are analyzed at the Faculty Council meeting. Students’ questionnaires and sample forms are available at the headquarters of the RTU FEE Students Self-government at 1/7 Meža street, Room 110. 7.5. Graduates’ questionnaires and analysis

No questionnaires have been conducted as yet, since the Programme has not had

graduates. In the future it is planned to use graduates’ questionnaires as practiced by the Faculty of Engineering Economics (Annex 8). 7.6. Participation of students in the improvement of the study process

Students may participate in perfecting the study process directly – by expressing their wishes and expectations to the academic staff delivering the course, the heads of the chairs and professors groups, Programme Director, or through the Students Self-government, whose representatives are take part in Faculty Council meetings, they are

members of the RTU Senate and RTU Senate commissions, as well as members of the RTU Academic Convention.

Students’ questionnaires are especially important; they are conducted regularly and objectively reflect students’ opinion about the particular course and organisation of studies.

8. Academic staff engaged in the Programme 8.1. Number of academic staff

71 academic staff of various RTU FEE institutes, chairs and professors’ groups are involved in the realisation of the Programme, which can also be seen in the academic staff CVs (Annex 5).

Almost 54% of academic staff are Doctors of sciences, others have academic Master degree, or are special field professionals with a Master degree or a corresponding professional qualification.

Academic staff ensuring implementation of the study process include 17% – Professors, 17% – Associate Professors, 18 % – Assistant Professors, 21% – lecturers, 3% researchers, and 7% – assistants. The list of the academic staff involved in the Programme is available in Annex 9.

The Programme is implemented by Doctors of sciences, lecturers or highly qualified professionals with appropriate work experience, the relevant information characterizing their qualifications can be seen in their CVs attached in Annex 10.

The qualifications of the academic staff involved in the implementation of the Programme comply with the requirements posed to the delivery of the respective Programme courses. This is supported by the data presented in Table 4, CVs, scientific and methodological publications, as well as participation of academic staff in international scientific and methodological conferences, as well as conferences hosted by RTU and FEE.

On the whole, the data show that qualification of the academic staff is

appropriate and that they are capable of ensuring qualitative delivery of Programme courses. 8.2. Appropriacy of qualifications of academic staff

The qualifications of academic staff are appropriate for delivering the subject courses of the Programme, which can also be seen from their CVs (Annex 10).

The level of qualification of the academic staff is also attested by the active participation in various research projects. Thus in the period from 2002 the academic staff have participated in the execution of 4 grants of the Latvia Science Council, incl.:

8.3. Correspondence of the profile of Doctors of sciences to the branch of

science of the Programme Implementation of the Programme involves 38 Doctors of sciences, 25 of them

being Doctors of economic sciences, 2 Doctors of mathematics, 3 – Doctors of engineering sciences, 4 Doctors of philosophy, 1 – Doctor of psychology, and 3 Doctors of education sciences. The correspondence of the profile of the Doctors of sciences engaged in the Programme is presented in Annex 13.

8.4. Policy of selection, renewal, training and professional advancement of academic staff

The academic staff providing the Programme is stable. To maintain their

competence and to further develop professionally, academic staff regularly participate in conferences, seminars and other qualification advancement events, undertake different courses, engage in activities of other organisations, also working in the capacity of consultants. In 2007/2008, 6 of the academic staff attended qualification advancement courses, which allows them to integrate the ideas and novel approaches developed in the course of research and qualification advancement events in their academic work.

New staff members are also attracted from students doing Doctoral degree. Currently, 12 lecturers are studying in the Doctoral degree programme.

The academic staff are active participates of annual methodological seminars held by RTU and other higher education establishments.

The academic staff are also active participants of local and international conferences. Last year the academic staff engaged in the Programme attended conferences in Germany, Great Britain, Slovenia, Poland, Italy, Spain, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, etc.

9. Sources of financing and provision of infrastructure

This academic year the programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations” is realised for a charge. In 2007/2008, the tuition fee is LVL 790,- for full studies and LVL 490,- for part-time (correspondence) studies.

Next year it is planned to request to allocate places financed from the state budget for the 1st year students. A higher tuition fee has been approved for the next academic year: LVL 1100.- for full-time studies and LVL 640.- for part-time (correspondence) studies.

The infrastructure used for Programme needs comprises: • lecture-rooms (30 seats for lectures and 30 seats for practical

classes); • computer rooms; • the Methodological Room; • the RTU Scientific Library.

The Programme uses the infrastructure of RTU and the Faculty of Engineering Economics (lecture-rooms, libraries, sport centres, canteens, cloakrooms etc.) and is serviced by the RTU Accounting Department, Students Record Keeping Department, the Archive etc.

To further improve the study environment, lecture-rooms are provided with up-to-date equipment, new methodological rooms and laboratories are created, new office equipment, computers and textbooks are being purchased etc. Currently, the Faculty of Engineering Economics has 256 computers, 161 of them are installed in 8 computer rooms used by the students of the Programme. Computers are also installed in lecture rooms and administration offices, 44 of the academic staff use laptops. There is the Harmonised System Visual Aids Room; all premises are being gradually renovated. Students may have access to the latest periodicals, statistical materials, books,

conference proceedings on economy and entrepreneurship related issues at the Institute of International Business and Customs, the Institute of Production and Entrepreneurship, the Institute of National and Regional Economy, as well as the Methodological Room.

In autumn of 2008, it is planned to complete and commission the new block of the Faculty of Engineering Economics, which will house modern study rooms equipped with computers and overhead projectors, administration offices and methodological studies for academic staff.

10. External relations 10.1. Relations with employers

Relations with employers are maintained through the Latvian Employers Confederation, cooperation with state and local government institutions, as well as private organisations and institutions. On 24 September 2001, the RTU Counsellors Convention was established upon the resolution of the RTU Senate, incorporating 26 representatives of different enterprises, banks, associations and state organisations. This contributes to closer cooperation with employers.

RTU, the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and the International Business and Customs Institute have concluded a number of agreements (Annex 14, Item 14.9), which will help to provide practical placement sites for Programme students, e.g.:

• Agreement on cooperation with the joint stock company “VEF Radiotehnika RRR” and Riga Technical University;

• Agreement on cooperation between Riga Technical University and the Machine Building and Metal Processing Industry Entrepreneurs Association;

• Agreement between AS “Paritate Banka”, the organisation and the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics;

• Agreement on cooperation between the Chair of International Economic Relations and Logistics of the International Business and Customs Institute of the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and SIA “Kuhne&Nagel Latvia”;

• Agreement on cooperation of Riga Technical University, the Latvian National Association of Freight Forwarding and Logistics and the Road Carriers Association “Latvijas Auto”.

The principal goals of the cooperation agreements concluded are:

• Information exchange on relevant current issues and problems in the sphere of international economic relations related training and services;

• Cooperation with regard to the improvement of the Programme and development of its content to educate qualified specialists;

• Promotion of cooperation in research; • Cooperation in providing placement sites for students; • Cooperation with regard to training of academic staff to acquire relevant

insights into practical aspects of the respective branch of science. In the future it is planned to conclude several agreements on cooperation with enterprises concerned.

The main cooperation and focus areas currently are:

• establishment of the demand for specific programmes and specialists trained;

• opportunities for practical placement; • establishment of the themes of qualification papers (to identify the range

of problems that are relevant for enterprises to be addressed by students during practical placement),

• greater involvement of professionals (specialists of enterprises) in the study process.

10.2. Cooperation with similar profile programmes in Latvia and abroad

The RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics cooperates with the University of

Latvia and the Latvia University of Agriculture offering similar study programmes. In Latvia similar profile accredited higher education programmes of the same level are implemented by:

• University of Latvia (LU): the professional Bachelor study programme “International economic relations”;

• Latvia University of Agriculture (LUA): the professional Bachelor study programme “International relations of institutions and enterprises”.

These study programmes were selected for comparison, based on the study level and the qualification conferred.

The comparison of the results of studies in the programmes, their general content, structure and scope is presented in Annex 11.

The comparison of the study programmes allows making the following conclusions:

• Graduates of the programmes are awarded the professional Bachelor degree in similar fields of economics (economics or public administration or management of international economic relations) and a similar qualification – head of external relations manager;

• The scope of studies (160 CP) and practical placement (26 CP) of the study programmes are similar;

• The study programmes envisage acquisition of similar basic economic subjects;

• The study programmes differ with regard to specialisation subjects: the LU programme envisages acquisition of political and juridical sciences, the LUA programme – public administration and public relations aspects, but the programme offered by RTU – aspects of international economic relations;

• The RTU programme envisages two specialisations with concentration on public administration and business.

At the same time extensive cooperation is also developed with foreign higher

educational establishments, incl. the Moscow Institute of Economics, Management and Law, Sofia Technical University, Tallinn Technological University, Vilnius Technological University, Doneck National University, Kiev Polytechnical Institute,

Wismar University of Technology, Business and Design (Wismar Hochschule), Hagen Distance-learning University, and the University of Florence.

These ties are confirmed with corresponding cooperation agreements (Annex 14, Item 14.10). The goal of the agreements concluded is not only to implement study programmes, but also to develop research, students’ exchange, to organize joint seminars and conferences, to exchange academic and scientific information, to contribute to education of qualified specialists, etc.

The comparison of the professional Bachelor study programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations” offered by the Faculty of Engineering Economics of Riga Technical University was made based also on the study of programmes of higher educational establishments of the European Union. The programmes that are similar as to the level and scope are offered by:

• Aston University (Great Britain); • Tilburg University (the Netherlands); • Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (Lithuania).

The results of the comparison of studies in the programmes, their general content, structure and scope are presented in Annex 12.

The comparison of these study programmes allows making the following conclusions:

• Programme graduates are awarded similar Bachelor degrees in the field of international economic relations;

• Programmes are similar as to the length of studies (3-4 years) and envisage different kinds of practical placement;

• Programmes envisage acquisition of economics subjects and an in-depth acquisition of knowledge in the field of international economic relations;

• Programmes offer a range of free electives as well as specialisation track subjects in senior years.

11. Activities should the Programme be liquidated

In case the professional Bachelor study programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations” will have to be liquidated, students may continue studies in the accredited RTU professional Bachelor study programmes “Business logistics”, “Entrepreneurship and management”, or the accredited academic Bachelor study programme “Entrepreneurship and management”, with a corresponding reconciliation of the scope and content of the programmes concerned.

Passing the missing tests and examinations, students may transfer also to other professional higher education programmes offered by the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics. Such a possibility is guaranteed, since students majoring in “Organisation and management of international economic relations” enjoy all the rights entitled to RTU students.

Pursuant to the Inter-University Agreement between RTU and the University of Latvia (Annex 14, Item 14.11), students, in the event of liquidation of the professional Bachelor programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations” may continue education in a similar profile programmes offered by the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University of Latvia.

12. Programme Development Plan

Evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of the Programme and its implementation, as well as elaboration of the Programme Development Plan falls within the competence of the Programme Administration, the chairs, professors’ groups and institutes involved, as well as the Faculty of Engineering Economics on the whole, which generally implies the analysis of the various Programme aspects, evaluation of results, and planning.

Strengths and weaknesses of the Programme were established when analysing the study process in the academic Bachelor programme “Organisation and management of international economic relations” and the former economists and after-college programmes; the results of the analysis are presented in Table 5.

8. Information on the national higher education system.

The secondary education is required for the admission to studies in a university/college. All holders of certificates and diplomas of the general secondary education or vocational secondary education meet the general admission requirements. However, the universities/colleges are free to set specific admission requirements e.g. additional subjects that had to be taken at the school level to qualify for admission to a particular programme.

Higher education (HE)

Bachelor (bakalaurs) and master (maģistrs) degrees are awarded in both, in academic and professional higher education programmes.

The objectives of academic higher education (HE) are to prepare graduates for an independent research, as well as to provide theoretical background for professional activities.

Academic programmes, leading to a bachelor degree, comprise 120 – 160 credits1: compulsory part – > 50 (75 ECTS) credits, electives >20 (30 ECTS) credits, thesis >10 (15 ECTS) credits, and the rest is left for students as free choice. Duration of full-time studies is 6 – 8 semesters.

Academic programmes, leading to a master degree, comprise 80 (120 ECTS) credits, of which > 20 (30 ECTS) credits are allocated for thesis, compulsory part of the programme includes theoretical aspects of the specific field of scientific discipline > 30 (45 ECTS) credits and their practical application in solving of actual problems >15 (22,5 ECTS) credits.

Academic education programmes are implemented according to the state standard of academic education.

The objectives of professional HE are to provide in-depth knowledge in a particular field, preparing graduates for desing or improvement of systems, products and technologies, as well as to prepare them for creative, research and teaching activities in this field.

Professional HE programmes, leading to a professional bachelor degree, are designed to ensure professional competence, they comprise at least 160 (240 ECTS) credits and they consist of: general courses >20 (30 ECTS) credits, theoretical courses of the chosen field >36 (54 ECTS) credits, specialization courses >60 (90 ECTS) credits, optional courses >6 (9 ECTS) credits, practical placement >26 (39 ECTS) credits, and state examinations including thesis >12 (18 ECTS) credits.

Professional HE programmes, leading to a professional master degree, comprise no less than 40 (60 ECTS) credits: up-to-date achievements in the field – in theory and in practice >7 (10,5 ECTS) credits, practical placements >6 (9 ECTS) credits, state examinations including thesis >20 (30 ECTS) credits as well as research training, courses of design, management, psychology etc.

Graduates of both types of the bachelor degree have access to master studies, graduates of the master degree – to doctoral studies.

Studies in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy professional studies (5 and 6 year studies), are equal to the master degree and the graduates can continue their studies in doctoral level programmes.

Apart from the programmes, leading to bachelor and master degrees, there are other types of professional higher education programmes.

• First-level professional HE (university college) programmes comprise 80–120 (120–180 ECTS) credits and lead to the 4th level professional qualification. These programmes are targeted mainly to the labour market. Yet, the graduates of the first-level programmes can continue their studies in second-level professional programmes.

• Second-level professional HE programmes lead to the 5th level professional qualification. Such programmes can comprise either at least 40 (60 ECTS) credits for holders of the bachelor degree or at least 160 (240 ECTS) credits for secondary school leavers. In both cases programmes should include a practical placement of at least 26 (39 ECTS) credits and graduation examinations including thesis >10 (15 ECTS) credits. Graduates of programmes including the 70 (105 ECTS) credits compulsory part of the bachelor programme, have access to master studies.

Doctoral studies. From January 1, 2000 a single type of doctoral (doktors) degree is being awarded in Latvia. The degree of master is required for admission to doctoral studies. Doctoral degree is awarded after public defence of doctoral thesis and successfully passed exams in the chosen scientific discipline. The doctoral thesis has to include original results of the research and new cognitions in the scientific discipline and may be a result of three to four years of doctoral studies at a higher education institution or an equivalent amount of independent research. The doctoral thesis may be a dissertation, assemblage of topically single peer reviewed publications or monograph. The rights to award the doctoral degree are delegated by decision of the Cabinet of Ministers to promotion councils established at the universities. The procedure for awarding the doctoral degree is controlled by the Commission of the Scientific Qualification.

Grading system: a 10-point grading scheme for knowledge assessment.
