The Aims and Objectives of Higher Education Program, the Results to be Obtained after the Acquisition of Higher Education Program Until the study-year 2011/2012 the studies at the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture were implemented in two types of study programs: Bachelor's study program or the academic study program and the second level professional higher education study program, but in May 2011 there was licensed a new Professional Higher Education Bachelor's Study Program that replaced the academic Bachelor's study program and the second level higher professional program. The consolidation of both above mentioned programs has been implemented in conformity with the recommendations given by the experts who carried out the previous accreditation. The newly-developed Professional Higher Education Bachelor's Study Program comprises the best aspects of the academic and the second level professional higher education study programs, ensuring the acquisition of both theoretical courses in the Bachelor's part of studies and the study courses of specialization in conformity with the chosen trend of specialization, as well as wide and diverse practical training in production that ensures the link between the theory and practical manufacturing. The new program is so-called an 'umbrella' program, where, while obtaining one and the same degree, the graduate has an opportunity to obtain also one of 4 professional qualifications: - agronomist with specialization in field-crop; - agronomist with specialization in horticulture; - zootechnician in breeding; - manager of agricultural enterprise. The general position of the Latvia University of Agriculture is not to decrease the volume of studies less than 160 CP in the undergraduate studies in order the graduates of the faculties could be able to compete in the labor market without the acquisition of a Master's study program. The implementation of the Professional Bachelor's Study Program increases the graduates' competitiveness in the labor market, because theoretical knowledge has been consolidated in practice. The Cabinet Regulations No.481 “Regulations on the State Standards for the State Second Level Professional Higher Education” provides that the volume of studies is at least 160 CP; in 4 its turn, Part 2 of Section 57 of the Law on Institutions of Higher Education provides: “Professional higher education Bachelor's degree shall be awarded, if the duration of a program of full-time studies is at least 4 years”. 1.1. The Aim of the Implementation of Study Program – to prepare educated specialists in agriculture with the skills and abilities necessary for the fulfillment of professional duties, and able to: • use modern scientific conclusions for the improvement of the production technologies of industry; • understand the significance of the sustainable agricultural production and its unity with the environment; • acquire independently the necessary practical skills in a particular specialization; • continue their studies at a master's study program. Objectives: to provide the students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills as planned according to the study program in order the graduates could successfully work in the following directions: • agricultural production processing companies; • pedagogical and scientific research activities; • consultancy service; • institutions of environmental protection; • institutions of self-government and public administration; • public and political organizations. 1.2. The Results to be Achieved within the Program: The students, studying in the Professional Education Bachelor’s Study Program, acquire knowledge, skills and competences, corresponding to the 6th level of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). While acquiring the program, the students obtain the knowledge on chemistry, physics, mathematics, biometry, biology, agricultural entrepreneurship and legislation, psychology, foreign languages and other theoretical courses; on the biological peculiarities of the varieties of field-crops and garden-stuff, and those of the breeds of animals, and their suitability for obtaining or processing certain produce; on the application of techniques for growing and rearing of plants and animals; on the evaluation of economic profitableness gained from the applied technologies. After the successful acquisition of the program, the graduates will be able to: work independently and creatively; self-educate themselves; use modern scientific conclusions for the improvement of the production technologies of industry; understand the significance of the sustainable agricultural production and its unity with the environment; acquire independently the necessary practical skills in a particular specialization; observe the laws and regulations of the European Union and the Republic of Latvia regarding the production of agricultural produce; prepare documents in conformity with the provisions of the laws and regulations concerning record-keeping; use the special software; aggregate, systemize and analyze data; use special literature on agriculture-related issues in foreign languages. The prospective specialists of agriculture will be competent to: organize agricultural production; know the laws and regulations related to the agricultural industry; evaluate the industry-related risk factors and competitiveness; develop the sustainable development strategy of agricultural industry; know the EU Common Agricultural Policy and the possibilities of support; elaborate the applications for receiving the support payments of the European Union and state and the project applications for attracting investments to the enterprise; observe individually 5 the regulations for labor safety and organize the appropriate training for and inspection of the subordinate staff on a systematic basis; to continue their studies in a Master’s Study Program. 2.

The Methodological Provision of the Study Program and Its Improvement The theoretical courses consist of classes in the study-rooms (lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratory work and practical sessions) and independent work. The proportion of lectures and seminars differs between the study courses. As a result of independent work, there had been literature reviews, reports and essays developed. For the purposes of independent studies there is a library available with a wide range of agricultural literature and accessibility to different data bases, the wireless Internet at the premises of main administrative building (palace) of the Latvia University of Agriculture, a computer classroom with a connection to the Internet, materials and collections collected by academic staff. The academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture takes part in the annual methodological conferences of the Latvia University of Agriculture, where the presentations are given and the discussions take place on the themes related to the didactics of higher education and the organization of study process. Within 3 years the courses in the Moodle environment of e-studies had been acquired by 43 members of academic staff or 50% of academic staff involved in the implementation of study process. A positive factor is the aspect that regardless of the limited financial resources the members of academic staff improve their professional competence both in Latvia and abroad. In total, within 3 years there were 13 courses for the improvement of professional skills attended in Latvia and 71 – in other countries. The improvement of the academic staff’s pedagogical skills and abilities takes place through the attendance of courses of didactics at the Latvia University of Agriculture that are compulsory once in 6 years. During the last 3 years this course had been acquired by 24 members of academic staff. An essential part of studies are lectures at which the latest technologies are applied, including multimedia, interactive presentations, and educational films. A part of the materials on lectures are available at the portal of the Latvia University of Agriculture http://www.llu.lv/?ri=1542 or they are sent individually by means of e-mail. While studying independently, the students, individually or in groups, prepare reviews on scientific or popular-scientific literature and the presentations regarding the themes that could be related to the topicalities of the study course to be acquired. The academic staff’s e-mail addresses are available to students; the students can send their questions regarding the successful acquisition of the study course, as well as concerning the organizational issues. 3.3.

The Evaluation System and the Analysis of Study Results The evaluation principles and criteria are in compliance with the Regulation No.481 “Regulations on the State Standard of the Second Level Professional Higher Education” adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers, the Regulations of Studies of the Latvia University of Agriculture (Appendix to the decision No.7-28, made by the Senate of the Latvia University of Agriculture on September 09, 2010) and the developed programs of study courses. 4.1. Evaluation System The following principles are observed: ° the transparency of the assessment of knowledge and skills — there is a set totality of requirements regarding the positive evaluation of educational progress; ° the principle of the obligation of evaluation — it is necessary to achieve the positive assessment on the acquisition of the compulsory content of program. The basic forms of evaluation in the program are a test and an exam. In order an exam shall be organized, the volume of the study course shall be at least 2 CP. The assessment of the exam is both qualitative (according to ten-point system) and quantitative (obtained CP). The tests are assessed by “pass” or “fail”, or according to ten-point system (Tg – test with a grade). By passing a test, also the quantitative assessment is obtained – CP provided by the study plan. The final assessment in the course may be also accumulative – it means that the regular work during the term influences the final assessment in the study course. There may be organized different small-volume intermediate assignments – tests, tutorials, etc. – during the term within a course. The program envisages the term papers with the separate qualitative (according to ten-point system) and quantitative (amount of CP) evaluation – the procedure for their development and defence has been described in the methodological guidelines approved by the Board of the Faculty of Agriculture. Knowledge is assessed according to ten-point system, where 10 – with distinction, 9 - excellent, 8 – very good, 7 - good, 6 – almost good, 5 - satisfactory, 4 – almost satisfactory, 3 - poor, 2 – very poor, 1 – unsatisfactory. The criteria and procedure for the evaluation of knowledge are set in the Regulations of Studies of the Latvia University of Agriculture: http://www.llu.lv/getfile.php?id=42210 – resource viewed on October 27, 2011. The forms for the control of independent work: the control of laboratory practical works on a regular basis, the control of the understanding of different issues at the seminars, the development of term papers and projects, a test or an exam at the end of each study course, the defence of complex practical trainings. The regular control of independent work within the process of the acquisition of separate study courses by controlling the fulfillment of laboratory works, controlling the understanding of issues at the seminars, as well as during the defence of term papers and projects. At the end of each study course there is envisaged a test or an exam. If the acquisition of the study course is planned for a period of several terms, the test shall be taken at the end of each term, but the exam – after the completion of the whole study course. 4.2. The Analysis of Study Results The first-year studies are the time for adaptation for the new students within the new study environment. Therefore particular attention is paid to the attendance of study courses and 16 the process of the fulfillment of planned individual work. The academic staff delivering the study courses every month submits to the dean of the Faculty of Agriculture the written information on the attendance of classes and the pass of planned work. The students, whose participation in the classes and progress are the reason for concern, are asked to appear at the director of the program for a discussion on these issues. The discussions concern the reasons of nonattendance and the unsuccessfully fulfilled study work, and there is also the plan for further work is being developed. The results of the acquisition of each study course are discussed and analyzed by academic staff together with students after the development of each individual work or taking of a test. The general analysis of study results takes place at the meeting of the Methodological Commission of Studies of the Faculty of Agriculture. The study results are defined in the programs of study courses and practical training, the academic staff instructs students in them, when the students start the acquisition of the study course. 5. The Practical Implementation of Higher Education Program 5.1. Study Methods and Forms The theoretical courses consist of classes in the study-rooms (lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratory work and practical sessions) and independent work. The proportion of lectures and seminars differs between the study courses. As a result of independent work, there had been literature reviews, reports and essays developed. For the purposes of independent studies there is a library available with a wide range of agricultural literature and accessibility to different data bases, the wireless Internet at the premises of main administrative building (palace) of the Latvia University of Agriculture, a computer classroom with a connection to the Internet, materials and collections collected by academic staff. An essential part of studies are lectures at which the latest technologies are applied, including multimedia, interactive presentations, and educational films. A part of the materials on lectures are available at the portal of the Latvia University of Agriculture http://www.llu.lv/?ri=1542 or they are sent individually by means of e-mail. There have been electronic study materials developed: • Practical Guide for the Acquisition of the Classification of Plant Protection Agents registered in LATVIA. Compiled by I. Turka; • Ticks that are Harmful to Plants. Compiled by E. Plise. • There have prepared the study materials for the support in the e-environment (Moodle) of the Latvia University of Agriculture for the following undergraduate study courses delivered by Assoc. Prof. Dz. Kreismane: Agrarian Policy (2 CP); Forage Production (2 CP); Agricultural Legislation (Part 2) LauZ3005; Agricultural Entrepreneurship (Part 2) LauZ3004 • Dace Sterne prepared the study material for the support in the e-environment of the Latvia University of Agriculture: Science of Patenting and Standards (2 CP). • Biruta Bankina — study materials in the e-environment for the undergraduate studies are being used for the delivery of the study course “Plant Pathology” Lauz3031 (2 CP). While studying independently, the students, individually or in groups, prepare reviews on scientific or popular-scientific literature and the presentations regarding the themes that could be related to the topicalities of the study course to be acquired. 17 The academic staff’s e-mail addresses are available to students; the students can send their questions regarding the successful acquisition of the study course, as well as concerning the organizational issues. The study plans for the acquisition of study program are available at the portal of the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture. The annotations of study courses are available in the Information System of the Latvia University of Agriculture: https://irma.cs.llu.lv/pls/pub/kursi.startup?l=1 The full programs of study courses are available at the dean's office and at the university lecturer delivering the particular study course. The students are informed on them at the beginning of the study course. The academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture takes part in the annual methodological conferences of the Latvia University of Agriculture, where the presentations are given and the discussions take place on the themes related to the didactics of higher education and the organization of study process. A positive factor is the aspect that regardless of the limited financial resources the members of academic staff improve their professional competence both in Latvia and abroad. In total, within 3 years there were 13 courses for the improvement of professional skills attended in Latvia and 71 – in other countries. The improvement of the academic staff’s pedagogical skills and abilities takes place through the attendance of courses of didactics at the Latvia University of Agriculture that are compulsory once in 6 years. During the last 3 years this course had been acquired by 24 members of academic staff. 5.2. Academic Staff’s Research Activities The study program is in compliance with the subdisciplines of Agricultural Science - Plant Science and Animal Science. The academic staff also performs scientific research in these trends within the different research programs financed by the EU and Latvia. In the year 2009 there were implemented 7 international projects, 23 projects financed the state of Latvia, and there were executed 18 contracts with the companies. In the year 2010 the scientific activity regarding the attraction of funding increased and 31 projects started during the previous year had been continued also in 2011. The academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture actively leads and/or participates in the scientific projects, as a result of which there are relatively many publications and presentations at the international conferences and congresses. According to the ranking of the structural units of the Latvia University of Agriculture, depending on the scientific activities, the Institute of Agricultural Biotechnology, already since its establishment (in 2005) has taken the first place, but the Institute of Soil and Plant Sciences — places 2-5 (depending on the year) out of 32 structural units of the Latvia University of Agriculture. Data on the participation of the academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture in the implementation of projects has been summarized in Table 3. On the whole, in 2011 the members of the academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture were involved in the implementation of 31 scientific projects of different levels, out of which 16 projects were internationally and co-financed by ESF, 5 projects were financed by the Latvian Council of Science, 1 project was of State Research Program and 9 were commissioned.

The development of the scientific themes that have received support from ESF, the Latvian Council of Science, Ministry of Agriculture or other institutions is being continued. The proof of cooperation between the Faculty and agricultural scientific institutions in Latvia is the annual scientific seminar “Harvest Festivity in “Vecauce””. In the year 2011 the scientific seminar was devoted the 90th anniversary of the training and research farm, and there were also the reviewed collected articles of the seminar published (ISBN 978-9984-48-053-4) in cooperation with such companies as Baltic AGRO, Konekesko, BASF and Agromatco. The collected articles had been cited in the data base AGRIS (http://agris.fao.org/ keyword for search: Vecauce). The students of all levels and study-years, studying at the Faculty of Agriculture, also take part at this annual event as the audience – it is a perfect opportunity for them to see everything that had been achieved and is topical in the agricultural science. On February 23 and 24, 2012, there was held the scientific-practical conference “Science for the Future of the Agriculture of Latvia: Foodstuffs, Forage, Fiber and Energy” organized by the Faculty of Agriculture, the Latvia Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and Latvian Society of Agronomists. There have been published collected articles with more than 50 scientific publications of the academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture and cooperation partners on the themes of horticulture, field-crop cultivation and animal husbandry. The academic staff uses the conclusions drawn as a result of scientific research for the delivery of the study courses they teach. There were several textbooks developed on the basis of research results, supplementing them with the theoretical material. The academic staff’s CV, the list of publications and information on the activities regarding the development of projects had been summarized in the appendices. 6.

The standards of profession had been adopted on July 26, 2011. Regulations No.579 “Amendments to the Regulations No.461 “Regulations on the Classifier of Professions, the Corresponding Basic Tasks for a Profession and Qualification Requirements and on the Procedure of the Use and Updating of the Classifier of Professions” adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers on May 18, 2010” adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers (“LV”, 118 (4516), July 29, 2011) [came into effect on July 30, 2011]. They have been included into the Appendices. TO: Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture FROM: Latvian Society of Agronomists REFERENCE The Board of the Latvian Society of Agronomists (LSA), at its meeting, considered and proposed for the updating of the Standards of an Agronomist’s Profession. Taking into consideration that the changes have taken place in the fields of field-crop production and horticulture, in cooperation with the members of the academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture there were several corrections made to the above mentioned Standards. In the summary of the basic tasks of professional activities the emphasis is laid on the fact that an agronomist plans and manages the production process in field-crop cultivation or horticulture, consults the agricultural workers of a lower level, as well as performs research activities in the field. There have been specified the competences necessary for the professional activities, determining the particular professional tasks to be fulfilled by an agronomist. On the basis of the Standards of the Profession, the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture has developed the Professional Bachelor’s Study Program “Agriculture” providing that the students will have an opportunity to obtain the Professional Bachelor’s degree and an agronomist’s qualification that would enable them to continue their studies in both academic and professional master study program. The Board of LSA has acquainted with the newly developed study program and finds that it ensures the acquisition of knowledge and skills necessary for An Agronomist’s Profession.

The study courses planned for the acquisition of the study program will provide the prospective specialists with the theoretical knowledge of agriculture, but the planned practical trainings in the total amount of 26 CP — with the practical abilities and skills necessary for the qualification to be awarded. We find that it is not necessary to include in the study plan the study course Sports, because healthy lifestyle is a self-initiative of each member of society. Instead there should be included a study course that would facilitate the acquisition of profession. The study plan has been developed in conformity with the draft of the Standards of Profession “A Specialist of Zootechnics in breeding”. Director signature I. Vorslovs I.

It is important that the managers of farms acquire knowledge of the organization of production processes on the farm by means of the latest technologies, as well as the knowledge of attracting the funding of European Union for the development of farms, and the knowledge of planning further development of industries. The study program is very significant for the national economy, because, through the acquisition of the study course, there will be educated the specialists of the field with a high level of qualification. The prospective specialists, having completed the Professional Bachelor’s Study Program “Agriculture” in the specialization of a manager/director in agriculture, will have valuable knowledge to ensure the managing of a farm and long-term production process. Having evaluated the study program, we find that the implementation of it would provide significant contribution for the development of farms and it is in conformity with the developed Standards of Profession.

Strautins, the DNB expert of economy: “The field of agriculture has a perspective. The young people, who choose to study in the field of agriculture, do not make a mistake; they will have a perspective in the future – they will have an opportunity to earn. The society believes that agriculture is a valley of tears, but the facts are in contrast with the dominating point of view. In fact, the development of agriculture, if compared with all the sectors of economy, is not rapid, as we can see it in other sectors, but its development has been stable already for the last 10 – 12 years”. (The newspaper “Diena”, February 13, 2011) THE RESULTS OF SURVEY on the Necessity of Specialists with Higher Education in Agriculture There were 127 respondents involved in the survey; 31 respondents or 24% of them were related to the scientific activities, but 27 respondents or 21% of them were related to the field-crop production (See Fig. 1). Fig. 1. What type of agricultural entrepreneurship is your company engaged in? The answer to the question, whether they feel a scarcity of specialists in the sector, was given by 60 respondents; 49 respondents or 81% of them admitted that there is a scarcity of specialists (See Fig. 2). 25 Fig. 2. Do you feel the scarcity of agricultural specialists in your sector? Fig. 3. The specialists of which qualification will be necessary for the sector represented by your company during the coming 6 years? The information summarized in the figures proves that the educated specialists will be demanded in the labour market. 7. Students Until the study-year 2011/2012 the studies at the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture were implemented in two types of study programs: Bachelor’s study program or the academic study program and the second level professional higher education study program, but in May 2011 there was licensed a new Professional Higher Education Bachelor’s Study Program that replaced the academic Bachelor’s study program and the second level higher professional program. 7.1. The Number of Students in the Program 26 The implementation of the Professional Higher Education Bachelor’s Study Program had been started in the study-year 2011/2012. There had been 112 students matriculated in the study program: 87 students of full-time studies and 25 students of part-time studies that constitute 32% out of all students, studying in the undergraduate study programs (as of September 20, 2011 there were 353 students in total studying at the Faculty of Agriculture). It is planned that 30 secondyear students, at present studying in the Academic Bachelor’s Study Program “Agriculture”, would also be transferred to the Professional Bachelor’s Study Program starting from the studyyear 2012/2013. 7.2. The Surveys of Students and Their Analysis In the home page of the Latvia University of Agriculture www.llu.lv a wide range of information on the supplied study programs, the structure of the Faculty, the academic staff, the trends of studies and scientific research is available for the students of the Faculty of Agriculture at the Latvia University of Agriculture and the secondary school pupils. There is a wide range of information on the study opportunities available in the following brochures: Higher Education in Latvia and Abroad, Educational Guide, informative brochure of the Faculty. The variants of answers given to the question: Where did you get information on the possibilities to study at the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture? are summarized in Figure 4. Figure 4. Answers to the question: Where did you get information on Faculty and study programs offered? According to the answers given, in 48 cases the information is retrieved from the home page of the Latvia University of Agriculture, in 27 cases it is obtained at the event School…., in 26 cases – from friends, and only in 5 cases – from the mass media. Regardless of the above said, in order to provide more information to society on the necessity and ensuring of specialists, the Faculty of Agriculture collaborates with the Editorial Board of journal “Saimnieks LV”. In cooperation with the Seedling Growers Association, the exhibition “The Show of Latvian Seedlings” is organized at which the professional consultations are being provided and the popularization of horticultural industry takes place. 27 Horse-Breeding Training Farm “Muski” every year organizes and participates in the competitions of equestrian sport at which the popularization of studies in the specialization of animal husbandry takes place. The results of the 1st year students’ survey show that most of them had been to agricultural industry already before they started their studies (Fig. 5). Figure 5. Answers to the question: Are you related to any of these companies? Most of the respondents – 55 respondents indicated that either their parents or they themselves own a farm, 9 respondents indicated that they are related to some kind of agricultural limited liability companies. Thus the studies are related to the necessity of knowledge for the rational management of farms. The results of the 1st year students’ survey on the choice of the study program showed that 13 students have a family member who has studied or is studying at the Faculty of Agriculture, 5 students indicated that their friends are studying, 33 consider the studies to be perspective, but 43 respondents are related to the agricultural production (Fig. 6).

The Academic Staff’s Selection, Renewal, Education and Development Policy for the Coming Six Years The structure of the academic staff, involved in the implementation of the study process, shows that it is necessary to attract new members of academic staff actively. Partially this problem is being solved by involving in the study process the master and doctoral students of the Faculty of Agriculture. Doctoral students – academic staff and employees of the Bachelor’s Study Program: • Gundega Dinaburga – guest-lecturer – Junior lecturer, • Oskars Balodis – researcher in the ESF project, • Dace Sterne – guest-lecturer – Junior lecturer, • Indra Eihvalde – guest-lecturer – Junior lecturer, Training and Research Farm “Vecauce” at the Latvia University of Agriculture – deputy director concerning studies, • Dace Smiltina – head of the Molecular genetics laboratory, • Andris Balins – engineer at the Molecular genetics laboratory, • Janis Bartusevics – guest-lecturer – Lecturer, 32 Irina Sivicka – guest-lecturer – Junior lecturer. The guest-lecturers from the professional or scientific organizations are invited to deliver separate study courses or themes. The problem is caused by the fact that the guest-lecturers’ main task is to deliver the classes, but the organizational work shall be carried out by the members of academic staff who are the members of the permanent staff and the number of whom decreases year by year, but the real load - increases. • 8.5. The Academic Staff, involved in the Implementation in the Higher Education Program, shall be Highly Qualified and Competent in order to Ensure Students with an Opportunity to Acquire the Necessary Research Skills, Theoretical Knowledge, Skills and Competences According to their qualification, the members of academic staff are involved in different working groups (in total – in 38 different working groups): scientific and professional ones (See Table 10).

Sources of Financing and Provision of Infrastructure In general, the resources available to the Faculty of Agriculture at the Latvia University of Agriculture ensure the achievement of the aim defined in the Professional Higher Education Study Program “Agriculture”. There has been provided the minimum of the necessary material and technical, labor force financial resources. 9.1. Sources of Financing The state financed study places had been taken by 75 students of undergraduate studies, studying in their 1st year. Professional Higher Education Bachelor’s Study Program “Agriculture” — Approximate Costs and Estimation of Positions 35 The program shall be implemented as a budget financed program, because the programs implemented until now: Academic Education Bachelor’s Study Program “Agriculture”, Educational classification code — 43621, and the Second Level Professional Higher Education Study Program “Agriculture”, Educational classification code — 42621, shall be gradually closed. Alongside with the beginning of the implementation of new program as a study program of full-time studies, there will be no new students admitted to the previously implemented programs. Every year we will admit 70 - 75 students for the budget financed study places (this number shall be specified for each year separately). 5 full-time students shall be admitted for a partial tuition fee, as well as 20 part-time students shall be admitted for a partial tuition fee. The formula for the calculation budget financing: F = n (knoz. k fb + Sn) = 207 (1.8 1.0 937.09 + 115.50) = 207 (1686.76 + 115.50) = 207 1802.26 = LVL 373 067.82 n = 207 knoz. = the coefficient of costs for the study program = 1.8 k = degree coefficient = 1.0 fb = base costs of a study place = LVL 937.09 Sn = social security costs of a study place = LVL 115.50 The costs of a study place according to the present model = LVL 1802.26 The estimated sum is necessary from the state budget in the 4th year after the commencement of studies in the program. In the first year, when starting the studies in the program, the additional means, in comparison to the means allocated to the Faculty of Agriculture for the study programs, are not necessary, because the students shall not be anymore admitted to the previously implemented programs. The possible tuition fee, when studying for the partial tuition fee, could be the same as determined by the Senate of the Latvia University of Agriculture for the present students of the Faculty of Agriculture: • For the full-time students: LVL 1200.00/year. • For the part-time students: LVL 800.00/year. Estimation of positions for ensuring the study program: The calculations had been performed for the full program; the additional positions, in comparison to the programs implemented until now, shall not be necessary.

External Relations 10.1. Collaboration with Employers The academic staff’s scientific and practical activities are closely related to other scientific institutions in Latvia, as well as abroad. The cooperation projects with following institutions are being implemented: State Plant Protection Service, the Latvian Fund for Nature, State Stende Cereals Breeding Institute, State Priekuli Plant Breeding Institute, Pure Horticultural Research Center, the Latvia State Institute of Fruit-Growing, Latvian Center of Plant Protection Research, Botanical Garden of the University of Latvia, Agriculture Science Center of Latgale, Faculty of Biology at the University of Latvia, the Latvia University of Agriculture Agency “Sigra”. The students are developing their scientific research papers at the above mentioned scientific institutions. The students of the Faculty of Agriculture actively participate in the activities of the New Farmers’ Club and use the courses and opportunities of practical training abroad offered by the Club. The information on the activities of New Farmers’ Club is available at the home page: http://www.jzk.lv/ 10.2. Collaboration with the Latvian and Foreign Higher Education Institutions implementing Similar Higher Education Programs The implementation of the program has been started only in the study-year 2011/2012. Therefore there has been no possibility to attract foreign students and academic staff. There has been close collaboration established between the Faculty of Agriculture and the following agricultural higher education institutions of the Baltic States: Estonian University of Life Sciences, Aleksandras Stulginskis University (ASU) in Lithuania, Šiauliai University, as well as with the higher education institutions of other countries. The information on the studies and scholarships at the foreign higher education institutions is available at the portal of the Latvia University of Agriculture: http://www.llu.lv/?mi=389 The exchange of students takes place. There are study courses offered that are very similar to the ones offered by the Faculty of Agriculture according to their content; thus our students can acquire such a course or a block of courses within the exchange program at another higher education institution, and these courses could be equated to our courses and vice versa, for example, Agrochemistry, Microbiology, Agricultural Mechanization, Field-Crop Cultivation, Soil Science, Research Methodology, Rearing of Animals, Genetics of Animals, Feeding of Animals, Entrepreneurship in Agriculture, Accounting and Finances, the courses related to the law and economy, etc. Taking into consideration that the studies of agriculture do not take place at other HEIs, there is no offer to acquire study courses or modules at other higher education institutions in Latvia. Taking into account the specialization the students have chosen, starting from the 3rd year they acquire the volume of study courses (the module) that ensures knowledge, skills and competences for obtaining the following qualification: an agronomist with the specialization in field-crop cultivation or horticulture, or a specialist of zootechnics in breeding, or a manager of an agricultural company. The students, studying at the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture, have an opportunity to acquire the study courses at foreign higher education institutions that later, in conformity with the Academic Recognition Regulations of the Latvia University of Agriculture, are equated to the corresponding content study courses of the approved study program. There have been agreements on cooperation concluded with the foreign agricultural higher education institutions, and the students are offered an opportunity to acquire separate modules, courses and to undergo practical training. 43 The academic staff’s mobility may be considered according to the foreign language skills. The information, used for the aggregation regarding the foreign language skills, concerns 74 members of academic staff involved in the implementation of the study program (See Table 12). Table 12 Academic Staff’s Foreign Language Skills Foreign language Russian English German Polish French Swedish Total Level of language skills Excellent Good Average 27 43 3 7 28 27 2 12 10 1 1 1 36 84 42 Total 73 62 24 1 1 1 162 According to the aggregated information, 27 members of academic staff have excellent speaking skills in Russian, 7 - in English, but 2 – in German. Some members of academic staff have good speaking skills in 2 foreign languages – Russian and English or Russian and German. In total 35 members of academic staff could deliver lectures in English, but in German – 14 members of academic staff. The attracting of new members of academic staff in order to implement the study program would increase the level of mobility in future. In order to implement the new Professional Higher Education Bachelor’s Study Program, especially regarding the acquisition of professional study courses, it is planned to involve the guest professors from foreign countries. The experience of the Faculty of Agriculture proves that the guest-lecturers and students, within the framework of ERASMUS program, gladly deliver or acquire separate study courses. 11. Documents Confirming that in the Case of the Liquidation of Higher Education Program the Applicant would Ensure the Students of the Respective Higher Education Program an Opportunity to Continue Their Studies in Another Higher Education Program or at Another Higher Education Institution There has been a written agreement concluded with the University of Latvia on the opportunities of studies in the study program “Biology” for the students who wanted to obtain the agronomist’s qualification after the graduation. There has been a written confirmation received that the students whose planned professional qualification is a specialist of zootechnics in breeding will have an opportunity to study at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Latvia University of Agriculture, but the students whose planned professional qualification is a manager of an agricultural company will have an opportunity to study at the Faculty of Economics of the Latvia University of Agriculture.

The Development Plan for the Higher Education Program The Latvia University of Agriculture is the only higher education institution in Latvia, where the agricultural specialists for production and science are being educated. The graduates of the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture work at every company the activities of which are related to agriculture. The study program is in conformity with the aim of dealing with problems related to personality, democratic society and development of science, as well as meeting labor market demands. There had been the development strategy elaborated for the period 2007 - 2013: http://www.llu.lv/?ri=383#zinojumi. It provided for combining of the Academic Bachelor’s Study Program and the Second Level Professional Higher education Study Program, implemented at the Faculty of Agriculture, and to develop the Professional Higher Education Bachelor’s Study Program providing that the implementation of the program would ensure the rational use of human resources and the material and technical basis of the Faculty. When the Academic Bachelor’s Study Program and the Second Level Professional Higher Education Program would be closed, the Faculty of Agriculture will continue to offer one study program that would enable to obtain the professional qualification in 4 the above mentioned specializations, thus ensuring a wide range of choice opportunities for the prospective students. The implementation of the study program of the full-time and part-time studies would enable, if necessary, the students to transfer from one form of studies to another, thus decreasing the students’ dropout. Separate study courses could be acquired at the Centre for Lifelong Education at the Latvia University of Agriculture in the status of a listener. There is more emphasis laid on the proportion of practical training in the newly developed Professional Bachelor’s Study Program, thus the graduates would be more ready to meet the needs of labor market. The academic staff, involved in the implementation of the Bachelor’s Study Program, will continue to implement also the Professional Higher Education Bachelor’s Study Program; therefore the started regular improvement of professional skills is not discontinued. A good opportunity for the improvement of academic staff’s skills is working in the field of lifelong learning, where the academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture offers the following courses: Care for and Artificial Insemination of Agricultural Animals, Apiculture, Production of Crop and Animal Produce on a Biological Farm, Preparation of Horses and Riders, Fundamentals of Horse-Breeding, Growing of Plants and Business, Spices and Vegetables in a Modern Garden. The leading members of academic staff take part in the establishment of the State National Research Centre, where there are determined and evaluated the topical scientific directions. SWOT Analysis Strengths The Faculty of Agriculture at the Latvia University of Agriculture is the only one offering and implementing the Professional Higher Education Bachelor’s Study Program “Agriculture”. The academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture, out of which more than 90% are the permanent staff of the Latvia University of Agriculture, is qualified and competent to implement the offered study program. The studies at the Faculty of Agriculture are closely related to scientific research. The academic staff and scientists of the Faculty of Agriculture are actively involved in the commissions of the Ministry of Agriculture for the development of different regulations of the 47 Cabinet of Ministers and laws and regulations, as well as they actively collaborate with different social organizations, thus improving their professional qualification. Weaknesses Insufficient involvement of new academic staff in pedagogical activities. Only insignificant part of the university lecturers, employed at the Faculty, prepare and offer study courses in foreign languages. Insufficient collaboration with similar study programs abroad. Insufficient base financing for maintaining and renewal of infrastructure. Opportunities The Faculty of Agriculture is involved in the development of many projects related to agricultural production and research that helps to elaborate modern content of study courses and thus also to improve the study process. Training and Research Farm “Peterlauki”, Horse-Breeding Training Farm “Muski” and Training Base “Vaives Dzirnavas” that are a part of the structure of the Faculty of Agriculture, as well as the Latvia University of Agriculture Training and Research Farm “Vecauce” enable to ensure the organization of qualitative practical training. The opportunity to participate in ERASMUS program enables to acquire the foreign experience. To attract more youth from both Latvia and other countries to studies by modernizing the material and technical base and offering new study programs. To develop the career-guidance activities at secondary schools by involving the New Farmers’ Club and employers who are short of qualified specialists in the agricultural industry. Threats Demographic crisis and uneven regional development in the state exposes to danger the implementation of the study program. Uncertain national policy regarding the allocation of state funding for the implementation of study programs. Increase of competitiveness among higher education institutions. 48 APPENDIX 49 Appendix 1 The Comparison of the Professional Higher Education Bachelor’s Study Program “Agriculture” with the Higher Education Programs of the Same Level implemented in Other Countries For the purpose of comparative analysis we have chosen the study programs implemented by the universities of the nearest neighboring countries – Estonian University of Life Sciences (in Tartu) and, Aleksandras Stulginskis University (ASU) in Lithuania (in Kaunas). It is impossible to perform the complete comparison of programs, because the differences exist already in the basis of the educational systems: in both above mentioned countries these are the academic educational programs the graduates of which are awarded a Bachelor's degree of Agricultural Sciences (B. sc.) irrespective of the specialization. Besides, the studies in Estonia are organized in conformity with the system 3+2 years or 120 + 80 CP, where the duration of undergraduate studies is 3 years, but the duration of master studies – 2 years. In Lithuania the duration of studies 4 years and the volume – 160 CP, but the academic programs at any of the universities chosen for the comparison do not envisage practical training of large amount; the volume of practical training in the study plans is 4-6 CP. We found out that in these countries there are no educational programs in agriculture implemented with the aim to award both a Bachelor's degree and a professional qualification. The general position of the Latvia University of Agriculture is not to decrease the volume of studies less than 160 CP in the undergraduate studies in order the graduates of the faculties could be able to compete in the labor market without the acquisition of a Master's study program. The implementation of the Professional Bachelor's Study Program increases the graduates' competitiveness in the labor market, because theoretical knowledge has been consolidated in practice. The Cabinet Regulation No.481 “Regulations on the State Standards for the State Second Level Professional Higher Education” also provides that the volume of studies is at least 160 CP; in its turn, Part 2 of Section 57 of the Law on Institutions of Higher Education provides: “Professional higher education Bachelor's degree shall be awarded, if the duration of a program of full-time studies is at least 4 years”. The similarities • The study process is organized in a form of lectures, seminars, practical sessions and laboratory works. • There are planned oral and written tests, as well as final or accumulative exams. • At both chosen universities, like in our newly developed program, the graduates are awarded a Bachelor's degree of Agricultural Sciences and during the last study-years specialization in one of the treands of agricultural branch: 50 • • • • In Estonia it is possible to specialize in Animal Production, and Production of Field Crops and Garden-Stuff. • At the Lithuanian University of Agriculture it is possible to specialize in three trends: Horticulture and Cultivation of Greenery; Agronomy; Agricultural Technologies and Management. The exchange of students takes place. There are study courses offered that are very similar to the ones offered by the Faculty of Agriculture according to their content; thus our students can acquire such a course or a block of courses within the exchange program at another higher education institution, and these courses could be equated to our courses and vice versa, for example, Agrochemistry, Microbiology, Agricultural Mechanization, Field-Crop Cultivation, Soil Science, Research Methodology, Rearing of Animals, Genetics of Animals, Feeding of Animals, Entrepreneurship in Agriculture, Accounting and Finances, the courses related to the law and economy, etc. “Regulations on the State Standards for the State Second Level Professional Higher Education” provide for the general education courses in the amount of at least 20 CP, as well as the Standards of the Profession provides for the specialist's ability to communicate in foreign languages; therefore our program comprises also the courses of foreign languages. In Estonia and Lithuania the academic study programs also comprise similar study courses, for example, English or German for Professional Purposes, Ecology and Environmental Protection, Labour Safety and Civil Defence; Philosophy, Agrophysics, etc. Alongside with their pedagogical activities, the members of the academic staff perform also scientific research that is the basis for the offered theoretical courses in the field and the professional specialization courses. The differences Both in Lithuania and Estonia these are academic educational programs; the program developed at the Faculty of Agriculture differs from the program implemented in Estonia according to the duration of studies and the total amount of CP. • There a significant difference regarding the volume of practical training that is an integral part of professional education, but in academic education there is no need for such a relatively significant volume of practical training: our program envisages for the practical training in the amount of 26 CP, in the programs implemented in Estonia and Lithuania – in the amount of 4-6 CP. • There is a difference regarding the volume of the Bachelor's Thesis; in our program, according to the Standards, its amount is 12 CP, but in Estonia – 5 CP and in Lithuania – 4 CP, besides, there is an opportunity to take, instead of the Bachelor's Thesis, an exam – in this case the exam has the same volume as the Bachelor's Thesis. The Regulations No.481, adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers provide foe the Bachelor's Thesis in the amount of at least 12 CP, as well as we find that the research of such a volume performed within the development of Bachelor's Thesis help to the students to consolidate their theoretical knowledge, as well as to specialize even in a narrower field of agriculture. • Conclusion: The Professional Higher Education Bachelor's Study Program “Agriculture”, developed at the Faculty of Agriculture of the Latvia University of Agriculture is in conformity with the generally accepted principles for the development of higher education study programs. 51 Appendix 2 Confirmed in the Board of the Faculty of Agriculture 28th of October, 2011.
