The visions of representatives of employers and Latvian major tertiary establishments concerning the programme were coordinated already in the phase of elaboration of the Profession Standard; the working group elaborating the standard included also representatives from the Latvian Employers Confederation, LR Accountants Association, A/S „Ditton PR”, A/S „Rebir”.

The above allows to assert that the respective professional standard reflects employers expectations. It has to be mentioned that the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics already for many years has been training 5th-qualification-level specialists – economists in the accredited 2nd-level professional programme “Entrepreneurship and management”.

Evaluation of the results of the employers’ questionnaires allows to conclude that employers are positive about the entry of Programme specialists in the labour market.

7. Evaluation of the Programme

7.1. Programme goals and objectives

Attainment of the goals of national economic policy requires an educational and employment policy capable of meeting the requirements of the new labour market, ensuring optimal utilisation of human resources, and thus forming a productive basis for economic growth.

The goal of professional bachelor studies, according to the Profession Standard, is to train an economist that would be competent to perform economy-related work assignments, to analyse performance results both at the microeconomic and macroeconomic level, to identify the problem, to formulate goals, to make forecasts with regard to most optimum methods of attaining the targets set, as well as would be competent to plan and implement the planned targets.

Objectives of the Programme: The graduate of professional studies has to acquire knowledge in microeconomics,

macroeconomics, economic forecasting, economic analysis and planning, economics of entrepreneurship, finances, accounting, marketing, information technologies, management sciences, quality management, methodology of doing research, and required command of foreign languages to be used in daily work.

The graduate should have practical working skills acquired during studies (how to deal with various orders and regulations issued by the LR MC and regulations and instructions issued by the Ministries of Finance and Economics and competent departmental divisions) as well as should be able to apply the knowledge gained during practical placement when elaborating academic papers and projects, as well as the diploma project.

The graduate has to be capable of understanding the goal, when addressing the problem, and has to professionally participate in the elaboration and management of the implementation of the project by applying appropriate procedures. Execution of the assignment is checked using the results of the graduates’ and employers’ questionnaires.

7.2. Organisation of the Programme

The system of studies at Riga Technical University has been developed pursuant to the LR law “On education”, the law “On tertiary educational establishments”, and the “On professional education”, so that it would maximally encourage the attainment of the goals set forth by the particular study programme and facilitate fulfilment of its objectives. The system of studies at RTU is also governed by internal regulatory documents specifying relations between students and the University, as well as the process and realisation 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 RTU Senate; Administration of the Faculty and the Faculty Council; Programme Administration; Students Self-Government; Study programme; Course programmes; Study plans.

Students enrolled for studies at RTU are issued an international students identity card (ISIC). Upon enrolment, Programme students are entitled to all the rights enjoyed by RTU students as specified by the LR law “On education”, the law “On tertiary education establishments”, the Charter of Riga Technical University, and other binding documents.

Students are offered a possibility to acquire additional knowledge, to change the mode of studies and the study programme, including the right of the transfer of the grades acquired in other study programmes of tertiary education, as well as to temporarily (but not longer than for 2 years) suspend studies, retaining relations with RTU.

Normative documents regulating the activities of the University are available with the Programme Administration and may also be found in the RTU web page in the Internet.

The programme “Entrepreneurship and management” valued at 160 credit points is implemented as:

4-year (full-time), or 5-year (part-time)

2nd-level professional higher education programme.

Each academic year has 2 semesters, the duration of each semester being 20 weeks – 16 study weeks and a 4-week long examination period.

To ensure the attainment of the goals and objectives of the programme, the first and second 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 studies. When undertaking studies, students receive short informative material containing the most essential information about organisation and practical realisation of studies, as well as have a special course “Introduction into speciality” valued at 1 CP.

The realisation of the programme “Entrepreneurship and management” corresponds to the goals and objectives of the academic units involved.

8

7.3. Practical realisation of the Programme

Realisation of the Programme is basically coordinated and managed by the Institute of Production and Entrepreneurship, at the same time, the content and quality is ensured by the Professor’s Groups and departments. The following academic units are involved in providing the studies:

Institute of Production and Entrepreneurship, Institute of Occupational Safety and Civil Defence, Institute of International Business and Customs, Institute of National and Regional Economic, Humanities Institute, Chair of Engineering Mathematics, IIBC Language Instruction Group.

The institutes, institute libraries, professors’ groups ensure the required teaching and methodological work: develop and update course programmes, ensure delivery of appropriate subjects, supervision and defence of diploma projects, development of study and methodological materials etc.

The Programme is supported by appropriate technical and maintenance personnel.

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

Examination may be taken only by students having fulfilled all programme requirements (they have passed all the tests, independent academic assignments etc.). Otherwise, students are not allowed to take examinations. The assessment grades are recorded in students’ individual academic record books and examination sheets.

The final test, if it is not passed within the time specified in the timetable or examination schedule, is regarded as academic debt. The requirements and procedures for settling academic debts are fixed by 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 project, which is further evaluated at the meeting of the Professor’s Group of Management of Entrepreneurship and approved by the FEE Dean’s order. The diploma project has to be student’s independent work elaborated in the final semester under supervisor’s guidance.

The studies take place both in lecture-rooms and locations of practical placement. Theoretical and practical classes are held in lecture-rooms, consolidation of theoretical knowledge and acquisition 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. The lecture-rooms are fully renovated and equipped with new furniture and required equipment (screens, overhead projectors). Students have access to computer rooms, copying machines, periodical publications and course literature.

Students of the professional higher education programme “Entrepreneurship and management” acquire skills that are relevant for doing research, working with literary and Internet sources required for successful elaboration of academic assignments and diploma projects.

The academic staff is successfully integrating novel findings and approaches gained from participation in various research projects and qualification advancement events to improve the process of studies. Students, on their part, have an opportunity to present the results of their

9

research at annual RTU Students Scientific Conference and publish them in the Conference Proceedings.

7.4. System of assessment

The system of assessment of the achievement of Programme goals and objectives is reflected in Table 2.

Table 2The system of assessment of achievement of Programme goals

3. Program graduates must: - understand the goal of the process of resolving the problem, to professionally participate in the elaboration and management of the project of implementation, making the required calculations;- constantly raise their professional competence.

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 tertiary education (LR MC Regulations No.481 (Clause 29–32) of 20 November 2001).

Students’ performance results are discussed at Professor’s Group meetings; they are collected and evaluated by the Programme Administration to be used as the basis for improving the further study process.

The basic principles of evaluation of the performance progress 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 level of acquisition 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 programme.

Examinations are accepted by the academic staff conducting 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 conducting the course.

10

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. These current progress tests are specified during the course.

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, on condition that the evaluation grade is at least 4 (almost satisfactory) or it is assessed as “passed”.

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

conditions, requirements and the list of questions for final assessment of the 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 the respective academic course.

The programme is to be completed with the state examination; part of this examination is the elaboration and defence of the diploma project being assessed according to the 10-grade scale. The evaluation criteria for assessing the defence of the diploma project are:

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

independence of working 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 tackle a business-related

research and to defend the results.

The diploma of the 2nd-level professional tertiary education is awarded to a student, who has acquired the programme and has passed the state examination with a successful assessment grade.

This system of evaluation is effective at RTU since 2001/2002, and it has justified itself, allowing to achieve a higher level of acquisition of knowledge and competence, as well as providing transparency and better correspondence of assessment to actual students’ academic performance.

The results of students’ performance and academic progress are regularly analysed and discussed at the meetings of the Professor’s Group and by the Programme Administration, the results of the defence of the diploma projects are also analysed at Faculty Council meetings.

Strengths WeaknessesStudents: qualitative education; good career prospects; possibilities to continue education in

professional master studies.

Students: some students have inadequate

background of knowledge in some subjects after secondary school;

work due to financial considerations.Study process: good feedback to improve the study process; adequate provision with study materials and

textbooks; good material base.

Study process: students research work skills could be

better developed.

Academic staff: motivated and professionally qualified; good working relations between academic staff

and students.

Academic staff: age structure.

Other factors: collegiate efficient relations with employers

9. Benchmarking with similar programmes offered internationally(EU)

The professional bachelor programme “Entrepreneurship and management” offered by the Faculty of Engineering Economics of Riga Technical University has been basically benchmarked with similar programmes of tertiary educational establishments of the European Union. Similar programmes are offered by:

- Griffith College Dublin (Ireland) (Appendix G);- Webster University Vienna (Austria) (Appendix H).

When comparing the Programme submitted for accreditation with the programmes offered abroad, it may be concluded that they are similar. This allows to draw the following conclusions:

- Nominal duration of studies is generally the same as in the Programme offered by RTU – approximately 4 years, in some countries 3-4 years;

- Writing and defence of the Bachelor thesis is scheduled for the final semester, after a prior practical placement in an enterprise;

- The RTU Programme and those offered by tertiary institutions internationally are similar as to their value in credit points.

18

The Programme includes similar subjects, e.g., information technologies, business communication, economics of entrepreneurship, accounting, mathematics, statistics, business law, marketing etc.

The 3rd and 4th years of studies are devoted to specialisation chosen. Specialisation majors in various countries are different; the most popular that are similar also to those offered by the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics are: marketing, business economics etc.

About the Course This honours degree programme will help students to appreciate fully the vital business roles played by finance, accounting, marketing, human resource management and information technology. For many companies these disciplines are the driving force behind their success. In addition, graduates will be shown how the ever-changing business environment is influenced by political, legal, economic, social and technological factors on both a national and international scale.

In first year students take subjects that are common to the BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance and the BA (Hons) in International Hospitality Management. This model gives students the flexibility to adjust their career choices if necessary.

The purpose of the course is to give students the skills that are in demand by companies today. In a complex and dynamic environment they will be able to identify changes in business requirements, and have the confidence to develop and implement new procedures to satisfy them. Students will be able to recognise the key characteristics governing a particular company and then identify the factors that are critical to its success. The course syllabus, developed by GCD and validated by HETAC, reflects the multiple requirements of today’s business world. The participation and support of full-time and external lecturing staff, and a wide range of industries has made a vital contribution to the degree’s content.

Progression Graduates who see an opportunity to make themselves more attractive to employers may want to consider the Masters programme in business. The Griffith College Graduate Business School offers a portfolio of programmes in International Business Management, each of which provides a route to the award of MBA. Such programmes are available on a part and full-time basis, allowing graduates the flexibility to work while continuing their studies.

Careers The varied and in-depth content and work placement element of this course means that graduate prospects and opportunities are virtually endless. Electives/Specialisations in the final year give a good indication of the work a graduate is likely to do. In the current economic climate, employment options include management, finance, sales and marketing, public relations and human resources.
