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 Department 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 education 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 particular study 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. Examinations are assessed according to the 10-grade system.

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 assignments etc. Current progress tests are specified in particular study course syllabi.

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 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, as well as in the interactive study medium effective since 1 September 2008 www.ortus.rtu.lv;

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

The Programme completes with the State Examination; a 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;

� 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 3) is

awarded to a student, who has fulfilled the Programme and has passed the State Examination with a successful assessment grade – at least “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 meetings; and the results of the defence of diploma projects 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 Department of International Economic Relations and Transport Economics and Logistics, at the same time, the content and quality is ensured by the respective institutes and departments. The academic units involved in providing the studies are:

• Institute of International Business and Customs (SESMI): o Department of International Economic Relations and Transport

Economics and Logistics; o Department of Customs and Taxes; o SESMI Language Instruction Group;

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

Management; • Institute of National and Regional Economy:

o Department of Economic Theory and National Economy; o Department of International and Regional Economy;

• Institute of Occupational Safety and Civil Defence; • Humanities Institute; • Department of Engineering Mathematics; • Business Logistics Education and Research Centre.

The institutes and the departments within these institutes ensure the required teaching and methodological work, i.e. they develop and update course syllabi, ensure delivery of required courses, supervision and defence of diploma projects, as well as development of other study and methodological materials.

The Programme is supported by appropriate technical and maintenance personnel.

During acquisition of each course students must pass current progress 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. Individual performance results can be also controlled by students themselves in the interactive portal www.ortus.rtu.lv.

The final test or examination, if it is not passed within the time specified in the study schedule 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 State 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/diploma project, which is subsequently evaluated at the meeting of the respective department and after that approved by a special order issued by the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Economics. The diploma project must be student’s independent paper 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.

Over the last two years, considerable improvements have been made with regard to provision and updating of the process of studies. Lecture-rooms are fully renovated and provided with new furniture and equipment (computers, overhead/multimedia projectors). Students have access to computer rooms, copying machines, methodological rooms, RTU Scientific Library, reading rooms and lecture rooms for individual or team work. Students may work with periodicals and course literature and have access to the Internet.

Students of the professional Bachelor programme “Business logistics” acquire skills that are relevant for pursuing research, working with literary and Internet sources required for successful fulfilment of academic assignments and elaborating diploma projects. 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. Students are encouraged to develop research papers and are offered to participate in the contest of research papers organized in cooperation with enterprises of the respective industry.

The academic staff successfully integrate novel findings and approaches gained

from participation in various research projects and qualification advancement events in upgrading the study process. Students, in their turn, have an opportunity to present the results of their research at annual RTU Students Scientific Conferences as well as publish them in Conference Proceedings.

The professional Bachelor study programme ”Business logistics” corresponds to the requirements specified by the Profession Standard. 6.2. Employers’ questionnaires

The questionnaire was conducted at SIA “Kuehne & Nagel Latvia”, SIA ”DHL Latvia”, SIA ”DPD Latvia” and other enterprises having corresponding cooperation agreements. The results of the questionnaire (Annex 15, Item 8) showed that employers positively evaluate the topicality and relevance of the Programme from the perspective of the interests of the national economy of Latvia. They regard that it is useful to implement such a programme at the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics. Employers also note that, with the development of business and the logistics industry, in the future (at least for the next six – ten years) the demand for graduates of the Programme will be guaranteed.

Since 2004, RTU has been organizing annual RTU Career Days. The goal of

this event is to inform students of social and engineering sciences about the enterprises operating in the particular branches, as well as to 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 having special interest in specialists of business logistics is growing from year to year.

7. Students 7.1. Number of students in the Programme

First students were enrolled for the academic year 2005/2006; thus presently there are 149 students in the Programme, incl.:

• full-time daytime students – 119 (incl.: 54 – in the 1st year; 35 – in the 2nd year; 20 – in the 3rd year; and 10 – in the 4th year);

• part-time correspondence students – 30 (incl.: 23 - in the 1st year; 7 – in the 2nd year).

7. 2. Number of students enrolled in the 1st year

In 2007/2008, 90 students were enrolled in the 1st year of the Programme: 60 for full-time daytime studies and 30 for part-time studies.

7. 3. Number of graduates

The Programme had its first graduates in 2006. First graduates of the Programme were immatriculated in the 3rd year in 2005 with an acquired 1st-level higher professional education in entrepreneurship and management and the qualification “Logistics specialist”. Since 2006, the Programme has been graduated by 25 students, incl.:

• 6 – in 2006; • 10 – in 2007; • 9 – in 2008.

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 4) is tailored so that students’ responses can help to evaluate both the quality of the courses and the performance of the academic staff, as well as it is an opportunity for students to express their opinion and come up with recommendations for improving the work of the particular teaching staff and upgrading the specific 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 questionnaire forms include 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.

110 students of the professional Bachelor study programme “Business logistics” participated in the questionnaire (74% of the students enrolled in the Programme). The results of the questionnaire show that 98% of the lecturers, when starting the course, introduce students with the requirements for fulfilling the course and the assessment system in the particular subject. Students indicate that 34% of lecturers are well prepared for classes, 66% of lecturers are very well prepared for classes; the particular content of the course does not duplicate any other courses; lecturers’ explanations are logical, understandable and they 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 industry. It should be noted that students were surveyed about all subjects, incl. mathematics, sport activity, and foreign languages. The results of the questionnaire show that there is an insufficient number of units of literature, and in several study fields there is still a lack of textbooks in Latvian. Students highly evaluate lecturers, which prepare their own instruction materials and/or handouts for acquisition of the particular course. Students’ main recommendations for improving the Programme are related with the inclusion of additional foreign language courses and increase of the number of literature units for studies. Several lecturers are recommended to make a more extensive use of audio and visual study aids, computers, projectors, as well as to place study materials in the RTU intranet 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 questionnaire sample forms are available at the RTU FEE Students’ Self-government headquarters at 1/7 Meža street, Room 110. 7.5. Graduates’ questionnaires and analysis

Graduates’ questionnaires are conducted according to the practice established by

the Faculty using special graduates’ questionnaire forms (Annex 5). Graduates’ questionnaires are designed so that the responses provided by

graduates could help to evaluate the study programme, on the whole, as well as the knowledge and skills acquired in the course of studies. The questionnaire envisages evaluation of positive and negative sides of the study process, as well as invites graduates to express their recommendations for improving the study programme and studies. The questionnaire includes questions about the applicability of the knowledge and skills acquired in working in the particular profession, necessity to train

specialists in the particular field, and employment possibilities after graduation from the Programme.

10 Programme graduates (or 50%) participated in the questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire show that 90% of the respondents are engaged by the companies of the industry. The knowledge and skills acquired are applicable in their profession; graduates’ evaluation of the knowledge acquired both in specialisation as well as general courses is positive. 90% of the graduates suggest introducing a wider selection of foreign languages for upgrading the Programme.

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. Graduates’ questionnaires and the results of the survey are available with the Programme Administration.

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 departments, Programme Director, or through the Students’ Self-government, whose representatives 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 they 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

76 academic staff of various RTU FEE institutes and departments are involved in the implementation of the Programme.

53% of academic staff are Doctors of sciences, others have the academic Master degree, or are special field professionals with the Master degree or an appropriate professional qualification.

The academic staff ensuring implementation of the study process include Professors – 22%, Associate Professors – 14%, Assistant Professors –13 %, Assistant Professors (practical) –16 %, lecturers – 25%, researchers 1%, and assistants – 9%. The list of the academic staff involved in the Programme is presented in Annex 9.

The Programme is implemented by Doctors of sciences, lecturers or highly qualified professionals with appropriate work experience; the most relevant information characterizing their qualifications can be seen in their CVs. The CVs of the academic staff involved in the Programme are 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 the academic staff in international and domestic scientific and methodological conferences hosted by RTU and FEE.

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

Selection and employment of the academic staff by the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics are determined by the effective LR legislation and the procedures stipulated by the RTU Charter, which pursuant to the LR law “On higher education’, Articles 32, 36 and 39, define the qualification compliance criteria posed to academic staff.

Meeting the requirements of the LR CM Regulations No.347 “Regulations on the requirements concerning education and professional qualification of teachers” (approved on 3 October 2003, as well as the amendments to the said Regulations), the Faculty encourages academic staff to attend qualification advancement courses.

To maintain their competence and to further develop professionally, academic staff attend different qualification advancement courses, as well as courses or seminars for upgrading individual professional competences in Latvia and abroad (e.g., CEEMAN IMTA, etc.), through participation in the organisational and methodological work, international projects, engagement in the work of other organisations in the capacity of consultants, as well as annual participation in conferences and methodological seminars held by RTU and other higher educational establishments.

International cooperation and participation in conferences takes place both in special research fields, as well as in the field of academic work. The Faculty of Engineering Economics has cooperation partners in Germany, Norway, Russia, Lithuania, the United Emirates, the USA, Australia, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Check Republic, Estonia, the Netherlands, Poland, and Switzerland. The Faculty also organizes regular student exchange with higher educational establishments abroad. The ideas and novel approaches developed as a result of research and qualification advancement events are integrated in the education process.

New academic staff members are also attracted among students doing their Doctoral degree. Currently, 12 lecturers of the Faculty are studying in the Doctoral degree programme. Each full-time daytime Doctoral degree student is provided with a working place furnished with the necessary equipment – computer, printer, copying machine.

The development strategy of the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics envisages goals and objectives aimed at internationalisation of the Faculty. The goals with regard to internationalisation of the RTU FEE are:

• Excellence of studies – provision of high quality, prestigious, internationally recognized studies teaching how to critically and creatively process information, developing analytical thinking, creativity, and the desire for life-long self-education, as well as provision of education of specialists capable of successfully competing in the international labour market;

• Excellence of research activity – qualitative research efficiently integrated with the study process and extensive involvement in international, national and industry-focused research programmes;

• Excellence and recognizability of organisation – democratic, effective and up-to-date organisation of the Faculty fostering excellence of research activities, as well as recognizability of RTU and the RTU FEE in the world;

• Excellence of infrastructure – an integrated and up-to-date informative and territorial block effectively supporting the study process and research activity, with its centre located at Meža street, Riga.

The ability and motivation of the academic staff to involve in the implementation of the strategy is a key to the success and creation and maintenance of a cooperative and supportive learning environment. The ideology of the strategy of the Faculty of Engineering Economics is based on the dedication to promote the commitment and awareness of each individual staff member of the Faculty of their role in attaining common strategic goals, as well as to encourage the staff to assume full individual responsibility for the attainment of the goals set.

9. Sources of financing and provision of infrastructure

Infrastructure support at the Faculty of Engineering Economics can be subdivided into by following three infrastructure blocks: premises for studies and research; library; and information technology support.

Premises for studies and research The process of studies and business activity takes place in 5 buildings of RTU:

• 1/7Meža street, Riga, • 1/1 Meža street, Riga, • 1 Kaļķu street, 4th floor, Riga, • 8A Indriķa street, Riga.

90% of studies, research and administrative work take place in the new FEE block at 1/7Meža street to be put to use on 29 August 2008. Out of more than 30 lecture rooms used by the Faculty, 85% are equipped with multimedia technology – computers with an Internet connection and a system of sound amplification, projectors, overhead projectors or documentation camera. In such a way it is possible to ensure a contemporary and qualitative process of studies. The new block at 1/7Meža Street houses the following premises:

• 4 lecture rooms (accommodating 90 students and equipped with multimedia technology) used for lectures;

• 11 lecture rooms (accommodating 70 students and equipped with multimedia technology) used both for lectures and practical classes;

• 9 lecture rooms (accommodating 20 to 40 students are by 50% equipped with multimedia technology) used mostly for practical classes, individual or group work, language classes;

• computer room (accommodating 28 students and equipped with multimedia technology);

• methodological room (equipped with multimedia technology). The premises that are used at 1 Kaļķu street are:

• 1 lecture room (150 seats, equipped with multimedia technology) used for lectures;

• .7 lecture rooms (20-50 seats, all equipped with multimedia technology) used for lectures, practical classes and research;

• 3 computer rooms (20-30 seats, all equipped with multimedia technology) used for practical classes.

The premises that are used at 8A Indriķa street are: • 1 lecture room (85 seats, equipped with multimedia technology) used

for lectures; • 4 computer rooms (20-30 seats, all equipped with multimedia

technology) used for practical classes; • 9 lecture rooms (20-30 seats, 3 of them equipped with multimedia

technology), others when required are equipped with portable technology) used for practical classes, research, students individual or team work, language classes.

There are 6 lecture rooms at 1/1 Meža street (30-50 seats), which are equipped with the required multimedia technology. Programme students and academic staff can draw on the extensive resources of the up-to-date RTU Library. A special literature base (10 Ķīpsalas street) has been created for the needs of the Programme, taking into account the recommendations of academic staff and students. Students and academic staff can use also other RTU infrastructure elements – canteens and cafeterias (housed in every RTU complex), copying facilities, students’ hotels, RTU sport and recreation centres, swimming pools, etc. There are vending machines for snacks and coffee/tea/refreshments, etc.

Equipment of lecture rooms is being improved, new methodological rooms and labs are created, office equipment is being upgraded, new study literature and computers for the needs of the study process are purchased, etc. Presently, the Faculty has 5 computer rooms, the Harmonized System Study, premises are being further renovated. Students can use the services provided by the RTU Library. They can use library resources of methodological rooms, e.g., at the International Business and Customs Institute, Institute of Production and Entrepreneurship, Institute of National and Regional Economy, where they can have access to the latest periodicals, statistical materials, books, conference proceedings on economy and entrepreneurship related issues.

Considerable investments are made in the development and upgrading of information technology support. The working place of each academic staff is equipped with a computer having an Internet connection, 30% of the staff have laptops. RTU has created an interactive study portal www.ortus.rtu.lv, which is very actively used by students and academic staff. The portal is available only to authorized users. The portal provides students with current information concerning the study process. They have information about current study courses (descriptions, requirements for successful completion of the particular course, lecture plan, lecture materials, recommended literature and other materials), as well as information about individual academic performance, courses completed, topical information, information from the Library, access to study and scientific literature and databases, e-mail, etc. Via this portal it is possible to communicate with any lecturer and, within the framework of topical courses, also with peers. The portal offers possibilities for discussion forums, regular questionnaires, etc. As this portal was introduced only at the end of 2007, it is constantly being improved and upgraded. Students and academic staff are trained how to use the portal. The Faculty Administration are convinced that

this is a huge step contributing to the enhancement of the quality of the study process and programme development.

The professional Bachelor study programme “Business logistics” is

implemented for a charge. The tuition fee in 2007/2008 is LVL 790,- for full-time (daytime) studies and LVL 490,- for part-time (correspondence) studies.

Next year it is planned to apply for budget financed study places in the 1st year. The tuition fee approved for the next year is LVL 1100,- for full-time (daytime) studies and LVL 640,- for part-time (correspondence) studies.

10. External relations

FEE has to operate under increasing pressure of global competition, where cross-cultural awareness and cooperation form the foundation for its successful development in the future. The environment, in which the University is functioning, is becoming increasingly open to the impacts of international and competition, creating more extensive possibilities for cooperation with partners in Europe and in the world, and offering students wider opportunities of undertaking studies abroad. FEE is operating in a constantly changing environment, offering students wider and wider possibilities of choice, therefore RTU has to accept internationalisation as a challenge and use it to the benefit of the Faculty, as well as improvement of knowledge and well-being of each individual. Implementation of the internationalisation strategy requires making the programmes offered more versatile by attracting visiting professors, making the programmes more attractive to students, and actively involving both students and academic staff in different international cooperation projects and their implementation.

The internationalisation strategy envisages definite activities to be

accomplished to attract more students and to expand cooperation ties aimed at implementation of strategic goals formulated by the University and the Faculty and stimulation of coordinated work of the staff. The dedication of FEE to internationalize is attested by its plans to become an internationally recognizable faculty open to students also from other countries. Thus summarizing all the above mentioned, the Faculty has established the following international development or internationalisation focused goals:

• Internationalisation of studies, instruction and research; • Improvement of international students experience; • Improvement of international experience of local students; • Development and maintenance of participation in international partnerships

and associations; • Development of the potential of the staff and motivation of involvement of the

staff in the process of internationalisation; • Effective popularisation of the programmes to attract students from other

countries.

Each of the goals set forth by the FEE with regard to internationalisation has clearly specified sub-goals and objectives to be accomplished, which the Faculty Administration and academic staff are familiarized with. 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 enterprises. On 24 September 2001, upon the resolution of the RTU Senate, the RTU Counsellors Convention was established 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 15, Item 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 on cooperation between the Department of International Economic Relations, Transport Economics 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”;

• Agreement on cooperation between the Department of International Economic Relations, Transport Economics and Logistics of the International Business and Customs Institute of the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and SIOA “DPD - Latvija”;

• Agreement on cooperation between the Department of International Economic Relations, Transport Economics and Logistics of the International Business and Customs Institute of the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and SIA “DHL Latvija”;

• Agreement on cooperation between the Department of International Economic Relations, Transport Economics and Logistics of the International Business and Customs Institute of the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and SIA “ACE logistic”;

• Agreement on cooperation between the Department of International Economic Relations, Transport Economics and Logistics of the International Business and Customs Institute of the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and SIA “Procter & Gamble”;

• Agreement on cooperation between the Department of International Economic Relations, Transport Economics and Logistics of the

International Business and Customs Institute of the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and SIA “Spedair”;

• Agreement on cooperation between the Department of International Economic Relations, Transport Economics and Logistics of the International Business and Customs Institute of the RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and the Latvian National Association of Freight Forwarders and Logistics “LAFF”.

The principal goals of the cooperation agreements concluded are: • Information exchange on relevant current issues and problems in the

sphere of business logistics education 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. In the future it is planned to conclude several new agreements on cooperation with enterprises concerned.

The main cooperation and focus areas currently are:

• establishment of the demand for specific programmes and specialists to be 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 their practical placement),

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

Since 2005, in cooperation with SIA “DPD-Latvija”, a contest of students’

research work has been organized. The aim of the contest is to stimulate students’ interest in the logistics industry, to promote research activity, as well as to encourage creativity and development of innovative solutions in the sphere of business logistics among students.

In addition to the study courses offered by the Programme, students also have a possibility to listen to visiting lecturers. Lectures by visiting lecturers are organized on current topicalities of the industry. Thus, students could listen to the lecture “Development prospects of transport and logistics industry” delivered by the Deputy State Secretary of the LR Ministry of Transport Andulis Židkovs. An open lecture “Working together to fulfil consumer wishes better, faster and at less cost” delivered by a business representative from Estonia Ivi Kirss (in English) was organized in cooperation with “Procter & Gamble”. Students had an opportunity to listen to a lecture “Israeli Economy” organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Israel in Latvia and Estonia delivered by the Second Secretary of the Embassy David Levy (in English).

Cooperation with enterprises and public institutions is effected also at the level of implementation of study courses. Special topics, lectures or study courses are delivered by professionals of the particular field. The Programme Administration are planning to continue this cooperation also in the future, involving more representatives of the industry. Annex 14 presents study courses, which are or will be implemented involving visiting lecturers.

10.2. Cooperation with higher education establishments offering similar profile programmes in Latvia and abroad

In Latvia, accredited higher education programmes in the field of logistics and/or economics of transport are implemented by:

• Institute of Transport and Communications (ITC) – the professional study programme “Transport and business logistics”;

• Institute of Transport and Communications (ITC)– the professional study programme “Management of entrepreneurship in transport”;

• Riga Institute of Aeronavigation (RIA) – the professional study programme “Management of an international transportation company”.

The comparison of study programme results, structure and scope is presented in Annex 11.

The comparison of the programmes allows drawing the following conclusions: • The professional Bachelor degree is awarded only in the study

programme ”Business logistics” implemented by RTU. The graduates of the programme offered by ITC are not conferred the professional Bachelor degree;

• Qualifications awarded to programme graduates at RTU, ITC and RIA are different;

• The study programmes are equivalent by scope – 160 CP; • The programmes envisage acquisition of similar study courses, and

acquisition of logistics field focused compulsory and in-depth knowledge;

• The study programmes envisage acquisition of foreign languages. The RTU professional Bachelor study programme ”Business logistics” ensures the widest choice of foreign languages.

• The programmes offer study placement.

At the same time, extensive cooperation is also developed with higher educational establishments abroad, 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. In 2008, cooperation was started with the Lappeenranta University of Technology (Finland).

These ties are confirmed with corresponding cooperation agreements (Annex 15, Item 10). The goal of the agreements is not only cooperation in implementation of study programmes, but also development of research, students’ exchange, organization of joint seminars and conferences, exchange of academic and scientific information, promotion of training of qualified specialists, etc.

The comparison of the professional Bachelor study programme “Business logistics” 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 other countries. Programmes that are similar by the level, the degree conferred, study courses to be acquired, and the scope are offered by:

• Oxford Brookes University (Great Britain); • Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (Lithuania); • RMIT University (Australia); • The Open University of Hong Kong (China).

The comparison of the results of the study programmes, general content, structure and scope is presented in Annex 12.

The comparison of the programmes leads to the following conclusions: • Programme graduates are awarded similar professional Bachelor

degrees in the field of logistics; • Programmes envisage acquisition of similar study courses and

acquisition of compulsory and in-depth knowledge in the field of logistics;

• Programmes offer a study placement; • Programmes offered by the European higher educational

establishments envisage acquisition of foreign languages.

11. Activities in case of closure of the Programme

In case the professional Bachelor study programme “Business logistics” is closed, students may continue studies in the accredited RTU professional Bachelor study programme “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 “Business logistics” enjoy all the rights entitled to RTU students.

Pursuant to the Inter-University Agreement between RTU and the University of Latvia (Annex 15, Item 11), students, in the event of liquidation of the professional Bachelor programme “Business logistics”, may continue education in a related profile programme 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 departments, professors’ groups and institutes involved, as well as the Faculty of Engineering Economics on the whole, which generally implies the analysis of various Programme aspects, evaluation of the results, and planning.

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.

Quality assurance. According to the Latvian legislation, state-recognized degrees/diplomas may be awarded upon completion of an accredited programme in an accredited HE institution holding a state-approved Satversme (By-law) or college statute. Decisions on programme accreditation are taken by the Accreditation Board, while those on institutional accreditation – by the Higher Education Council.

More information:

1. On educational system – http://www.izm.gov.lv; http://www.aic.lv; www.eurydice.org

2. On status of programmes/institutions: http://www.aiknc.lv 1 Latvian credit point is defined as a one-week full-time study workload. An average workload of a full-time study year in most HE programmes is 40 credits. Latvian credit point system is compatible with ECTS. The number of ECTS credits is found by multiplying the number of Latvian credit points by a factor of 1.5.
