Programs will be implemented by: LJA Department of Marine Transport, Department of Marine Engineering, Department of Marine Electrical Automation, Department of General Educations, Department of Foreign Languages and Training Centre of LMA. All will be done following the primary direction and requirements of the course.

According to LMA Regulation “On the Department of Marine Transport of LMA” (Appendix 6, Item 7), the professional bachelor’s programme “Maritime transport- navigation” for professional bachelor’s degree in Maritime Transport and professional qualification - Navigator was developed by the joint working group of LMA under the leadership of Director of DTM. Further development and implementation of the programme is coordinated by the Director of DTM, associate professor G. Šteinerts, but academic performance of students studying for a Bachelor’s degree is supervised by the Deputy Director of DTM I.Kuļikovska.

The Bachelor’s programme is based on a system-type approach, defining strictly the framework of programme and its implementation plan (Appendix 1).

2.1. Changes in the programme framework The initial wording of the structure was approved by the LMA

Senate on February 6 2006, protocol N0 86 and this version was agreed with Latvian Seaman Register in March 31, 2006, as well as this version was submitted to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Latvia (hereinafter MoES) for obtaining license.

Since its implementation in 2006, the programme has undergone changes one time (decision N0 339 of LMA Senate on May 28, 2007, protocol N0 96) on the basis of the recommendations of marine experts of Latvia and potential employers of LMA graduates.

In the compulsory (A) part of the Study Programme (Appendix 6, Item 9): The title of study course ‘’Engineer chemistry’’ has been changed to

‘’Applied Chemistry’’, which fairly presents content of study course; A new study course “Radio Telecommunication’s Theoretical Basics”

has been introduced; which separated from study course ‘’GMDSS’’ form part (A-3);

Study course ‘’Navigation in emergency’’ has been eliminated, because content of this study course is included in study courses ‘’Maritime safety’’ and ‘’Ship Handling and Maneuvering’’;

The extent of study course “Maritime safety” has been increased from 5 KP to 7KP in addition to with theoretical bases and legislation acts, as well as training in compulsory courses for deck officers in accordance with STCW -78/95;

Study course ‘’ Marine Electrical Equipment’’ has been transferred from part A-2 to part A-3;

The title of study course ‘’ Technical Means of Navigation’’ has been updated and amount has been decreased from 5KP to 4KP, because course paper has been eliminated;

Study course ‘’Ships Construction and Operation’’ (amount 8KP) has been separated into two new study courses - ‘’Ship Theory’’ and ‘’Ships Construction and Operation’’, (amount of each study course -4KP);

Study courses ‘’Radionavigation and Communication Hardware’’ 1 KP, ‘’Radionavigation’’ 1 KP, ‘’Radar Plotting’’ 2KP, and ‘’Radio Communication Management and GMDSS’’ 2 KP have been formed from such study courses – ‘’ Study course -GMDSS’’ 4 KP, ‘’Study course – RADAR and ARPA’’ – 2 KP and ‘’ Study course - Radio Communication Management’’ 2 KP;

The extent of study course “Environment Maritime Protection” has been increased from 1 KP to 2KP.The part-time students get the task of practical training when they

start the studies and present report till the Final examinations (decision N0 286 of LMA Senate on September 11, 2006, protocol N0 96). During the studies they must obtain necessary seagoing service, confirmed by the certificate of competency issued by the Latvian Registry of Seaman or certificate of Seagoing practice.

Some study courses are changed by the semesters, so that students successfully can to achieve aims of study programme. In general the total credit points of study programme does not changed.

2.2. Compliance with LMA objectives and tasks The Programme is developed in line with the LMA quality policy

and basic objectives of the Academy: to provide students with higher professional maritime education and an academic degree, as well as to develop the applied sciences in order to maintain the intellectual potential of the seafaring sector of the Republic of Latvia, which will help to occupy a stable position and obtain recognition on the international maritime education market (Appendix 6, Item 3).

The Programme implementation and development plan meets general LMA quality objectives, which according to the LMA quality policy have been set out for a longer period of time (Appendix 6, Item3):

7

To ensure that the quality management system complies with the ISO 90001:2000 requirements, meeting at the same time nationally and internationally regulated requirements;

To establish a modern academic education, training and project/research base in Daugavgriva, 5B Flotes street;

To expand international cooperation in the fields of training seafarers and research, ensuring at the same time attraction of additional resources;

To provide students with knowledge, skills and expertise sufficient for successful practical work and competitiveness, as well as intellectual and communicative competences;

To ensure a gradual change in the generations of teaching staff at the Academy, maintaining the required qualifications and competencies nevertheless.

The Programme fits in organically with the general quality objectives of LMA and promotes their implementation, fulfilling definite annual quality tasks, for example: The Programme quality management is carried out in accordance with

the procedures set out by the LMA management system (development and maintenance of documentation: instruction and learning, evaluation and implementation of the requirements of our internal and external clients, improvement of information circulation, etc.);

In the LMA Study Centre a new LMA structural unit is being organized i.e., “Laboratory of applied researches in maritime transport and infrastructure”, giving an opportunity for post-graduate students to carry out educational and research work there (Appendix 6, Item 18);

The teaching staff employed to carry out the Programme together with students have established international cooperation with the present partners of SOCRATES/ERASMUS project and others, and are active in establishing new contacts (Chapter 10);

The teaching staff of the Programme and the students participate in scientific workshops, scientific and methodical seminars of LMA, as well as in projects and research work (Chapters 5.3 and 8.2).

2.3. Internal quality management of the ProgrammeThe internal quality mechanism of the Programme constitutes a

part of certified LMA Quality Management System and functions in line with QMS documentation.

3. Description of the Programme and study measuresThe study program includes individual work and in groups,

practical work, independent use of sources of information. During diploma work those areas of knowledge, which lead to an increase in the theoretical and practical understanding of maritime transport and leadership, are deepened. Creativity and research methodology are also learned.

The extent of study programme is 188 Latvian credits (282 ECTS credits). The official length of the programme is 4,3 years of full time studies or 5 to 9 years of part time studies.

To be enrolled in the programme the applicant must have a general secondary education or secondary professional education.

Graduates gain bachelor’s degree in maritime transport and qualification as a navigator. This permits continuation of studies in the relevant masters program.

The set of compulsory courses includes: Courses in general studies amounting to 20 credit points, providing

a broad understanding of theoretical and professional maritime courses: Psychology of Human Relation, Philosophy and Personnel Management, Organization and Training etc.;

complete courses in ship operations at a management level amounting to a total of 98 credit points, designed to provide competence and skills to meet the requirements of the International Convention STCW-78 ‘’Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers’’ as amended, standard A-II/1 and A-II/2;

The elective courses allow the students to improve knowledge, skills and abilities in the chosen specialization.

The study programme includes shipboard training. During the period of shipboard training students are improving their knowledge and skills to be able to work as officer in charge of a navigational watch on ships 500 GT or more after graduating from LMA and to be completely competitive in labour market.

During the shipboard training students are acquainted with the innovations and problems in ship handling, they realize in practice and assess the topicality of the selected subject for their Diploma work. They are required to collect and systemize materials for the development of a Diploma work and perform other tasks according to the Practice task of LMA (Appendix 6, Item 13). During the period of shipboard training students are verifying their physical and psychological adequacy for work on ships, improving their technical intellect, organizational qualifications and developing personnel management abilities.

Diploma work should be based on independently developed qualified, applied, publicly defendable research.

The descriptions of study courses included in the Study Programme you can see in DMT (Appendix 6, Item 34).

The programme provides for a possibility to transfer the credit points, transferring respective courses of study completed in another university, including foreign universities.

4. Assessment system The choice of the assessment system in the programme is determined by the binding regulating documents, the mode of study and the previous LMA practice. When assessing the level of academic progress and successful fulfilment of the programme requirements, two basic principles are applied: Openness when assessing the knowledge and skills – in conformity

with the objectives and tasks of the programme and study courses of study standards of attainment have been established to qualify for a positive assessment of study results;

Mandatory character of the principle of assessment student has to receive a positive assessment with regard to each mandatory and free-choice programme element according to its description.

Successful progress in attaining standards set up by the programme of study is assessed according to the procedure established in the LMA quality management system in line with the following specific requirements.

The basic form of assessment in the programme is a test and exam. Examination results, course papers and final examinations are assessed in terms of a 10-point grading scale according to unified assessment principles (Table 4.1). Tests or results of the practice are evaluated by a two-part scale with “tested” or “not tested” or in terms of a 10-point grading scale (Appendix 1).

Table 4.1Assessment scale

Assessment Compliance to programme10 With

distinctionKnowledge exceeds programme requirements, thorough understanding of the problem and ability to carry out independent research

9 Excellent Programme requirements have been met completely, the student has acquired the skills to use his knowledge independently

8 Very good Programme requirements have been met completely, yet the understanding of definite issues is not sufficient to apply the knowledge for solving more complicated problems

7 Good In general, the programme has been mastered in line with the established requirements, yet there is a certain lack of understanding of some less important issues, the student might encounter minor difficulties in the solution of definite practical tasks

6 Almost good

In general, the programme has been mastered, yet the understanding of some major problems is not sufficient, the student might encounter difficulties in the practical application of the knowledge acquired

5 Satisfactory

Generally the programme has been mastered, yet an insufficient understanding of some important problems has been observed, the student encounters difficulties in the practical application of the knowledge acquired

4 Almost satisfactory

Generally the programme has been mastered, yet an insufficient understanding of some basic concepts has been observed, the student encounters significant difficulties in the practical application of the knowledge acquired

3 Poor Knowledge is superficial and insufficient; the student is unable to apply the knowledge in concrete situations

2 Very poor There is only a superficial and fragmentary knowledge on separate 10

problems; the major part of the programme has not been acquired1 Very, very

poorThere is no understanding of subject problems, the student has practically no knowledge on the subject

The aggregate of programme’s requirements for obtaining a positive assessment for study results is given in the subject descriptions and/or respective LMA guidelines.

On successful completion of the study programme students have to pass final examinations to be considered and assessed by the final examination commission according to the LMA Statute (Appendix 6, Item 22). The final examinations consist of exam in Maritime English, exam in Specialty and Diploma work.

The professional Bachelor’s degree in maritime transport and qualification – navigator is granted on successful completion of the programme, i.e. when the student has received positive assessment and obtained required credit totals for all the programme elements, including presentation of a Diploma work.

5. Implementation of the programme 5.1. Methods and mode of study

The study programme is realized in two modes of studies – full-time studies and part-time extra-mural studies.

Full-time studies are realized using planned classes (lectures, laboratory/practical works and consultations), but part-time extra-mural studies are realized on an individual basis, students receiving individual tuition and instruction from the teaching staff.

In Full-time studies students have shipboard training on ships granting 52 credit points in Semester 4 and 7 according to the LMA Instruction (Appendix 6, Item 13). The practical training is realized in accordance with the triangular agreement, which signed between LMA, shipping company and trainee. Practical agreement includes the aim of practice, tasks and responsibilities of the parties. DMT is developed task of Seagoing practice and requirements of content of the practice report, which are accepted by Practical Training record book confirmed by Latvian Registry of Seaman. Rector of LMA has signed cooperation agreements with various companies. These agreements aid cooperation and exchange of information in the field of seaman’s labour market, which helps to review the study programme and upgrade it.

The part-time students get the task of practical training when they start the studies and present report till the Final examinations. During the studies they must obtained necessary seagoing service, confirmed with the certificate of competency issued by the Latvian Registry of Seaman or certificate of Seagoing practice.

An essential part in the studies is played by the independent and research work of students: in order to meet the programme requirements students have to develop 3 course papers; at the end of studies they have to develop Diploma work (Appendix 6, Item 14).

5.2. Project/research activities of the academic staff and their effect on studies

The Latvian Maritime Academy is a relatively new university whose academic staff has mainly been made up of the teaching staff of several other universities of Latvia (also Russia) and therefore the project/research work traditions at the Academy in the maritime transport sector are only under development.

11

The main directions of project and research activities of the academic staff involved in the Programme are as follows:

Scientific and other publications; Participation at national and international scientific conferences; Management of research projects and programmes of the Latvian

Science Council and other countries or participation in their implementation;

Management of internationally funded research projects or participation in their implementation;

Management of scientific contractual works or participation in their implementation;

Working as experts in Latvian and international projects and programmes;

Patents and licenses; Reviewing of monographs, postgraduate thesis and master’s thesis; Studies in post-graduate or graduate courses; And others.

Project/research activities of the academic staff that are involved in the implementation of the programme of study are shown in greater detail in Chapter 8.

The project/research work and professional activities of the academic staff influence the work in the programme of study in several directions: Selection of the teaching staff for the implementation of programme

elements (Chapter 8.4); Selection of topics of Diploma works and supervision and guidance of

Diploma works; The qualifications of the teaching staff are improving and

correspondingly their work in the formation and development of the programme of study and implementation plans, in the updating of the content of different study courses, supervision and assessment of studies, practice and Diploma works, informative and material provision of studies, etc.;

Promotion of understanding and establishing of links between studies, project/research, creative work and actual professional work;

Other.

5.3. Involvement of students in research projects As stated in Chapter 8, the project and research work in the Academy in general has become more active during the past three two years and it has promoted a more active involvement of students, including postgraduate students, in these activities.

Students together with the teaching staff are involved in the LMA research project for 2006 “Organization of applied research laboratory for water transport and infrastructure” (Appendix 6, Item 18). Within this project students perform definite tasks in line with the research direction of their Diploma work.

During the past three years students have participated at the annual international workshops of Latvian Maritime Academy, for example, in 10th International conference of LMA ‘’Maritime transport and Infrastructure – 2008’’ take part student Mārtiņš Enģelis took part with report ‘’Mathematical Problems based on real life situations’’, students Roberts Gailītis and Ilze Stelpa with report ‘’Yacht piers and Yacht-clubs in Latvia’’, student Maksims Andronovs with report ‘’Review and analysis of the produced and industrially mastered integrated inertial and satellite navigational systems’’, student Olga Maļgina with report

12

‘’Automatic correction of navigational information in ECDIS System’’, and Student Vilnis Ķerzums with report ‘’Comparison of Yacht harbors in the Baltics’’ (Appendix 6, Item 24).

6. Prospective programme evaluation At present Latvia is one of the leading country on the East coast of the Baltic Sea and the sector of transport services will play a crucial role in the development of national economy also in the future.

The objective of transport development policy in Latvia is to establish an effective, safe, and environment friendly, multimode, balanced and competitive transport system, with maritime transport constituting an inseparable part of it.

There are several urgent tasks to be fulfilled for complete implementation of national programme, including the national maritime transport development programme. A coordinated development and improvement of professional education and research that are based on a creative mutual co-operation of lecturers, researchers and professionals is of particular importance. For the growth of the transport system a modern technical, technological and management education is required, which comprises a comprehensive knowledge, research capabilities and practical skills that would provide professionals with competitive ability on national and international labour market.

The professional Bachelor’s degree study programme “Maritime transport - navigation” satisfies the interests and needs of our country and society and international requirements. This is proved by initial examination of the programme carried out by the professional maritime transport organizations and/or experts (Appendix 6, Item 35). 6.1. Compliance with the state professional higher education standard

The study programme “Maritime transport-navigation” complies with the Regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia No 481 from 20 November 2001 “Regulation on Second Level Professional Higher Education Standard” with amendments: The strategic objectives and main tasks of the programme are set out

according to the needs of the state, maritime transport and the transport sector in general (Chapter 1);

The extent of study programme is 188 Latvian credits; The length of the study programme for bachelor’s degree in maritime

transport with qualification navigator is 4,3 years of full time studies or 5 to 9 years of part time studies;

The compulsory content of the study programme consists of: General study courses amounting to 20 credit points; Theoretical courses of industry amounting to 38 credit points; Professional maritime courses amounting to 60 credit points Elective study courses - amounting to 6 credit points; Practice and practical training - amounting to 52 credit points; Final examinations, which consist of exam in Maritime English,

exam in specialty and diploma work, which amounts to 12 credit points.

The programme matriculates the applicants who have previously obtained a general secondary education or secondary professional education.

The courses, their content and extent, as well as the content of training practice are defined according to the potential employment

13

challenges, planned obligations and tasks to be faced by the programme graduates;

On successful completion of the programme the students are granted a professional bachelor’s degree in maritime transport and qualification as a navigator;

The acquired degree provides for the right to continue studies in the relevant Master’s program.

The basic principles and formal procedure for evaluating the level of fulfilment of programme requirements according to the established standards are set out in descriptions of study courses (Appendix 6, Item 34).

6.2. Results of potential employers’ polls The aim of the polls of potential programme graduates’ employers

is to find out the perspective evaluation of employers of the programme of study and to listen to their proposals aimed at the improvement and future development of the programme. Respondents (shipping companies/ crewing agencies, enterprises) were selected according to the planned employment description of programme graduates, with which LMA signed cooperation agreements about student’s seagoing practice on these companies’ ships. Among the respondents there are LSC Shipmanagement, Anglo-Eastern Crew Management Latvia, Stolt Nielsen Transportation Group. Mostly students went to practice on ships of LSC Shipmanagement and Anglo-Eastern Crew Management Latvia. (Appendix 6, Item 20).

The analyses of answers given in the questionnaire provide the following results (see table 6.1.)

Table 6.1.Results of employers’ polls

Questions Summary of answers1. Co-operation with LJA for trainee sea service:1.2. Are you willing to enter into an agreement with LJA for trainee acceptance?

100% - Already have an agreement.

1.4. Will trainees be accepted on ships through your company?

100% of surveyed shipping companies, agencies or businesses are willing to accept LMA trainees on ships.

2. External client satisfaction:2.1.2.1. Satisfaction with trainees’ level of pre-sea preparation and training

100% - all respondents satisfied with LMA trainees.

2.1.2.2. Satisfaction with training tasks and record books during sea service

100% - all respondents satisfied with training tasks and record books.

2.1.2.3. Satisfaction with level of preparation of students in safe working practices

80% - Surveyed respondents satisfied.20% - Not satisfied.

2.2.1. Overall evaluation of trainees and graduates work

Nobody of respondents gave unsatisfactory evaluation.

2.2.6. Do you need LJA graduates in the future

100% - all respondents answered that LMA graduates were needed

14

After evaluating the results of the poll in general and comparing them with the programme targets, one can draw the following conclusions:

The graduates of LMA are needed in sea transport and its number in some specialties not sufficient, for example ‘’Maritime Transport- Marine engineering’’, ‘’Maritime Transport- Marine Electrical Automation’’.

Theoretical knowledge is sufficient for seagoing service.

7. Students

7.1. Number of students in the programme and short description The number of students in the programme is given in Table 7.1 as

at October 1, 2008 grouping by study years.

In summary, we can see that the number of students matriculating in the Pogramme ‘’Maritime transport-navigation’’ is persistent all three years. If we compare modes of studies, then we can see that students choose full-time studies, it must explain with that studies are mostly financed by government, but when student choose the part-time studies, he will pay study-fee by himself.

The relatively large numbers of students leaving or being discharged from the program are due to not attending lectures at all or failing exams or final evaluations. Some students leave for personal reasons.

15

7.3. Number of graduates At present there are no programme graduates. The first programme

graduates with a professional bachelors’ degree in maritime transport and qualification – navigator are expected to graduate in the winter of 2010.

7.4. Students’ polls and their results In academic year 2007/2008 the Study Department realized

students’ polls after examination period of autumn and spring semesters about study courses which they were attend (Appendix 6, Item 21). In general, results of study programme are positive. The analyses of results of answers given in the application form are summarized in Table 7.3.

Table 7.3Summary of results of students’ poll

Negative PositiveThe greatest part of respondents not satisfy with visual aids (not enough and not to conform to requirements with the latest developments in technology.

Mostly of respondents are satisfy of study process organization.

Studies handouts must be more. Common tendency –training facilities are insufficient, uniformed and outmoded, but the situations must be different in presentation of various study courses.

Mostly of respondents are satisfy of study programme.

Laboratory equipment must be better. Respondents are satisfied with teaching staff of LMA work and cooperation possibilities.

Work of each lecturer is assessed very subjective, because we cannot see common outlook; don’t crystallize dominant problems.

Exchange of information is satisfied.

Respondents are not satisfied with lecture’s organization of some study courses.

The aims of study courses are plain from the beginning of semester for most of students.

Some lecturer can relate study course with maritime activities.

Respondents are satisfied with communication with lecturers and satisfied with attitude from them.

Some themes of various study courses need more lessons.

Tests and exams are ranked objective.

Lecturers make lectures more interesting, if he give examples from practice, his experience or simply from life.

On summarizing the answers and comparing them with the actual situation in the programme and LMA in general one can draw the following conclusions: Evaluations given by students and voiced suggestions once more

emphasize the weak and strong points of LMA and in general confirm the topicality of quality objectives accepted by the Academy (Appendix 6, Item 3);

Evaluations given by students and voiced suggestions help determine and define more precisely the specific quality tasks for the improvement of Bachelors’ degree studies.

Students are assessed study courses based on lecturer’s attitude and presentation style; to do evaluation of study course associative, respectively, if they are liked lecturer, study course also is well;

At execution time of study course we need to accentuate to practical training and theoretical material must be shorter, may student get practical skills in the time of studies at LMA.

16

7.5. Graduates’ polls and their results At present there are no programme graduates. The first programme

graduates with a professional bachelors’ degree in maritime transport and qualification – navigator are expected to graduate in the winter of 2010.

7.6. Participation of students in the improvement of the process of studyParticipation of students in the improvement of the process of study is mainly carried out: Through the participation in the polls organized by LMA (See Chapter

7.4); Cooperating with the programme of study management and

COMPARISION OF PROGRAMME WITH SIMILAR PROGRAMMES IN THE UNIVERSITIES OF EU COUNTRIES

Study programme is developed on bases of necessity to realize rules and legislation of higher education in Latvia, included IMO compulsory requirements.

Estonian Maritime Academy –EMA and University of Rijeka –RU are choused for comparison.

General comparison was made on bases of regulations of EU maritime specialists, which are included in ‘’METNET’’, Work package 5, Syllabus for Nautical MET, October 2002.Requirements of enrollment.

Like in LMA, other European bachelor’s degree study programmes applicants are enrolled in the programme with a general secondary education or secondary professional education and state of health which comply with international requirements. Study level.

Study level in all comparison programmes comply with the Regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia No 481 from 20 November 2001 “Regulation on Second Level Professional Higher Education Standard” with amendments. In accordance with these regulations study programme was developed.

There are modern presentation technologies and acquisition methods of knowledge with appropriate technical aids and simulators as well as practical training on ships are included in study processContent of Study programme

Potentialities of graduates. In common with LMA after study programme graduation graduates from

foreign countries have professional bachelor’s degree and professional qualification - Navigator. In accordance with established procedure these graduates eligible to apply for a certificate of competency –officer in charge

of a navigational watch on ships of 500 GT or more in accordance with certification regulations (STCW-78/95, A-II/1 and A-II/2) as well as after seagoing service 18 month in position of officer in charge of a navigational watch on ships of 500 GT or more they eligible to apply for a certificate of competency - Master on ships of 3,000 GT or more (see captain), as well as eligible to work in other maritime institutions. The Programme graduates are entitled to further studies for master’s degree.

The length of studies in foreign countries is shorter. It may explain because in LMA study programme is included full practical training course amounting to 52 credit points. It necessary for a certificate of competency – officer in charge of a navigational watch on ships of 500 GT or more.

Professional bachelor’s study programme of University of Rijeka is realized absolutely different. Total amount of study programme is 160 credit points, but practical training on ships is not included.

Conclusion:1. Professional maritime courses in all comparable programmes mostly

are similar.2. The length of practical training of all comparable programmes is

different both the length of training, and content. It based on, mostly, minimal state requirements to this part of programme.

3. The amount of general and maritime English is different in all comparable programmes. The reason may be higher level of basic knowledge, when student enrolled in higher education institution. In LMA study programme knowledge of English is main priority and it exceed minimal requirements of IMO.
