process.
All the teachers are paid by hours according to an approved cost estimate.
2.8. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE STUDY PROCESSThe study programme is carried out on the base of facilities of the Faculty of Social
sciences. Up-dating of the facilities has been started – the classrooms and lecture rooms are
being furnished. New devices are being installed in addition to the technical aids (overhead
projectors, video and audio recorders and players, copying machines, computers). The computer
class has been arranged, it is planned to purchase new computers. The Resource Room has been
organized.
The professional higher education bachelor study programme "External Relations of
Organizations" was designed by the team, which included Assoc Prof. L. Maļinovska, Dr. paed.,
Assoc. prof. D. Grasmane, Dr. paed., Assoc. Prof. J. Ābele, Dr. agr.
Successful implementation of the study programme is supported by the following levels
of management:
the programme director is Assoc. Prof. L. Maļinovska, Dr. paed., whose functions are
stated in “The description of the position of the programme director”;
the fulfillment of the programme is supervised by the Head of Languages Department
Doc. D. Grasmane, Dr. paed. The Dean of the faculty of Social Sciences Assoc. Prof. J. Abele
maintains administration of the programme;
the implementation of the programme is regularly discussed at the meetings of the
Languages Department and the Faculty Board. If necessary, the most important problems are
discussed at the University Study Council and Senate. The finances are controlled by the
University Financial Affairs Officer.
2.9. CREATIVE AND RESEARCH WORKThe lecturers work creatively, working out teaching materials for the study courses (e.g.
“Translation of Business Documents”, “Functional Communication”, “Cross-cultural
Communication” etc.). The content is original, as its purpose is to train specialists – practitioners
25
for the international labour market.
A more detailed description of the staff creative and research work is presented in
Appendix 1.
2.10. QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEMThe quality assurance system includes:
the quality of the study programme content and structure;
quality assurance of the choice of staff;
students participation in the programme evaluation.
As there is no experience in training the managers of external structural units at the
higher educational establishments of Latvia, the organisational matters of the study programme
and the course programmes are continuously improved. Discussions with lecturers and also
graduates of the study programme “Management of Organizations” take place, as well as
questionnaires for the students of the present programme help get information about the
necessary corrections in the programme content and in the course implementation.
As the quality of the study process is directly connected with the qualifications of
lecturers, great attention is paid to the choice of lecturers, the main criteria being: upgrading
courses taken abroad, usage of new teaching technologies, solid work experience, pedagogical
and professional skills.
2.11. STUDY PROGRAMME "MANAGEMENT OF ORGANIZATIONS" STUDENTS AND GRADUATES' SURVEY
The study programme is a logical continuation of the 1st level study programme
"Management of Organizations", therefore forty-five 1st year students studying in the study
programme "Management of Organizations" carried out at the Faculty of Social Sciences
participated in an anonymous survey. The graduates of this programme also evaluated this study
programme. It was a voluntary survey.
The students were asked to evaluate the contents of the courses, the classes, the scope of
optional courses and the facilities.
The contents of all the study courses and the teachers' work were evaluated positively.
"Very good" and "good" rates prevailed for these items. The courses "Psychology of
Interpersonal Relations", "Translation of Documents", "Functional Communication", "The
Second Foreign Language (German and Russian)" are among the most highly appreciated
courses.
Most of the students are satisfied with the scope of the optional courses, as well as with
the facilities and lecture rooms where the classes are conducted. Many students consider that 26
sufficient literature required for the studies can be found at the library of the University.
Teachers also supply them with adequate amount of handouts, except for some cases.
In the process of assessment the students expressed the following opinions:
"In fact I am satisfied with everything and everybody: courses, teaching staff, opportunity
to study independently by attending additional classes, conferences, English Club."
"We have a good opportunity to study several foreign languages, economics psychology,
sociology."
"I believe that in future we will be able to exceed economists, accountants, secretaries,
translators and even to compete with politicians."
"It is pleasure to attend classes because the courses are run by competent teachers."
"This programme attracted my attention with its wide scope of courses and diversity. The
lectures chosen would be of great help in the future work and precisely correspond to the
speciality we are acquiring."
"In Addition to the theory we have to practice a lot: working out of different projects,
group-work, independent work."
"We can learn a lot from the guest-lecturers."
"My point of view is that we will not have any problems to compete in the labour market
because there is a demand for the representatives of this speciality, and they are necessary."
"Other higher educational establishments offer to acquire only the speciality of a linguist,
an interpreter or an economist etc., whereas within this study programme the courses necessary
for all these specialists are integrated. As a result, we acquire knowledge necessary for the expert
of external relations."
Several students made suggestions related to the organizational issues and the facilities,
for example, the necessity of providing access to modern computer classrooms and
the internet. This problem has been solved - the computer classroom and the Resource Room
have been arranged, 5 computers are planned to purchase.
In their answers to the question "Which problems worry you, while studying at the
Faculty of Social Sciences?" the students reveal that they are concerned mostly about the
accreditation, crediting of their studies and opportunities to continue their studies:
"As far as I am concerned, it is very important to know that the programme will be
continued and I can get a degree."
"Right now I am concerned about getting the loan from the bank to pay the tuition fee. I
have no worries about our programme itself."
"The only problem is getting the bank loan."
27
"No worries for the time being! The only one could be - what education will I have in 2
years? On the whole, our study programme is interesting and good."
The graduates' opinions have been summarized by Karīna Bremze.
"The education obtained during two years is both interesting and, no doubt, useful.
Practical training proved this. The manager of an office, the co-ordinator of external relations or
a good secretary need several skills and knowledge - knowledge of record-keeping, the skill to
translate documents, the skill to answer a letter or a call in a foreign language, as well as good
knowledge of IT (Word, Excel) and business etiquette.
There are positive references about the courses, the choice of courses, their usefulness
from both the students and the manager of the company where I underwent practical training. It
is pleasure to receive positive references from the experts, who know what they expect from
their employees.
General education courses have developed our (my) general intelligence and skills and
abilities.
Courses of professional specialization in the branch have provided the knowledge of the
future profession, possible spheres of activities that may be available after the studies with the
knowledge acquired.
The scope of elective courses is rich, interesting, with an opportunity to choose.
The study years provided good knowledge, prepared us for real life.
The integration, implemented within the study process, helped during the practical
training. I am grateful to all the teachers for their efforts to teach me different courses. During
the practical training I found out which skills I should improve and what would be advisable to
acquire more concerning theory. I believe that all my groupmates have come to the same
conclusions.
The education provided by the University is deep, however, at the first moment it seems
too general. It is the starting point to achieve the goal set up for the future. One should be ready
for the further independent studies that differ the studies at the secondary school from the studies
at the university level.
I believe that the education the students are offered within this study programme is
universal, because everybody has an opportunity to perfect his/her knowledge and skills in
various directions - either the skills necessary for the managers or knowledge of a foreign
language - that would facilitate the acquisition of all the skills and knowledge indispensable for
the external relations specialists and to understand the specifics of this speciality.
I would like to continue studies in order to perfect my knowledge and develop skills."
28
2.12. EXTERNAL RELATIONS AND CO-OPERATIONWhile designing the study programme, the requirements of the labour market have been
taken into account. In addition, co-operating with the potential employers their advice on the
programme content references on the Professional Standard were received. The references testify
that the study programme meets the employers' interests and labour market requirements.
Alongside the links with employers contacts with the higher educational establishments
of Latvia are developing. For instance, on 18 June, 2001, our teaching staff members paid a visit
to Ventspils University in order to get acquainted with the translators programme and its
curricula, learning and teaching technologies, as well as dealing with financial matters.
In 2004 two students studying in the programme “External Relations of Organizations”
participated in the student scientific conference at Ventspils Uniersity College delivering reports
(I. Tumavičus and I. Junkurēna).
In 2004 and 2005 two students of Ventspils University College participated in
international scientific student, undergraduate and post-graduate student conferences organized
by the programme “External Relations of Organizations”.
In 2005 the international student, undergraduate and post-graduate student conference
“Students on their Way to Science” was organized by the program in which 19 reports were
delivered and 13 theses of the best reports were published. Representatives from 5 higher schools
of three countries participated (Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus).
Close co-operation links have been developed also with foreign higher educational
establishments, for instance, with Laurea University of Applied Sciences (in Finland), University
of Kiel (in Germany), Leeds Metropolitan University (in Great Britain), University of Lodz (in
Poland), the Lithuania University of Agriculture, Baranovichi State University (in Belarus), the
University of Guilford (in Great Britain). SOCRATES/ERASMUS agreements have been signed
for further co-operation with several higher schools abroad. In October, 1999, an agreement was
signed between the Department of Languages and the International Language School in London.
Assoc. prof. D. Grasmane got acquainted with teaching English as a foreign language - content
and technology - when visiting this educational establishment. Assoc. Prof. L. Maļinovska
during her visit to Bishop Burton College and studying at Sheffield University (in Great Britain)
acquired the experience of teaching foreign languages.
Assoc.prof. J. Ābele and Assoc. prof. L. Maļinovska delivered a course of lectures on
“Baltic Studies” at Laurea University of Applied Sciences in Finland.
The above mentioned teachers are participating also in the international project “Baltic
Sea Network” with 9 countries involved.
In April, 2006 the international intensive project for students “Promoting Cross-cultural 29
Management Competences in the Baltic Sea Region” was organized at the Latvia University of
Agriculture by the program “External Relations of Organisations”. 9 students of the program and
30 foreign students from 6 countries participated. The project lasted for two weeks. The students
within the frame of this project could perfectly improve the competence of cross-cultural
communication and their foreign language skills. The third year students R. Briģis and I. Grīsle
actively participated in the organization of the project working in team with Finnish students.
On May 29-31, 2005 the teachers of the program organized the “Baltic Sea Network” Partner
Days at the Latvia University of Agriculture. Teachers and higher school administrators from 6
countries participated.
Lecturer N. Ogurcova regularly participates in different seminars in Germany.
Assoc. prof. L. Maļinovska participates in Leonardo da Vinci project “CLIL.AXIS” (5
countries included). CLIL means Content and Language Integrated Learning.
A large number of teachers participate in international scientific conferences and publish
their articles in Latvia and abroad.
Many guest lecturers regularly take part in implementation of the program – I. Preisa
from the USA, A. Noble and J. Hobrough from Great Britain. In 2005 two students from
University of Limerick had their on-job training working as teachers in the programme “External
Relations of Organizations” (Patrick Keane and Kevin Marshall).
In 2005 within the frame of SOCRATES/ERASMUS programme H. Leinonen from
Laurea University of Applied Sciences (Finland) delivered a course of lectures on Cross-cultural
Communication.
In 2005 three students of the programme “External Relations of Organizations” studied
for 3 months in Laurea University of Applied Sciences, in 2006 already 5 students studied at this
higher school.
Since 2006 one student a student from Sweden studies in the programme “Extrnal

In 2006/07 four students of the program will study in Lithuania at the Vilnius College in
Higher Education, three students will study in Dronten, the Netherlands and five students in
Laurea University of Applied Sciences in Finland.
In 2007 the students of the program will participate in an intensive international project
organized by the “Baltic Sea Network” improving their cross-cultural communication and
foreign language skills in Otepē, Estonia.
In co-operation with Great Britain, Finland, Sweden and Spain it is planned to acquire a
part of the course “Cross-cultural Communication” on-line (Co-ordinator Leeds Metropolitan
30
University).
The teachers of the program closely co-operate with the School of Languages and Area
Studies of the University of Porthmuth to exchange the experience and teaching materials.

1.2. DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES
The beginnings of the Department of Languages trace back to 1944 when the Department of the Russian Language was established.
Till 1996 only two foreign languages were taught – English and German. At present all the students of the LLU have possibilities to acquire also French and Russian.
The content of acquisition of foreign languages stresses the acquisition of professional terminology, development of communication and presentation skills in order to promote the competitiveness of the future specialists in the labour market.
The main trend of the research – didactic aspects of teaching professional foreign languages, content and language integrated learning (CLIL), development of cross-cultural communication skills.
The scientific and pedagogical qualification of the teachers has considerably improved. D. Grasmane, L. Malinovska, S. Bremze and G. Mazure have been awarded the Doctor degree, most of the teachers have the Master degree in Pedagogics or Linguistics. Six teachers are studying in post-graduate studies – O. Maliseva, L. Turuseva, I. Gode – Sokolova, B. Apermane, I. Ozola and G. Grinberga.
The department has close co-operation with several foreign universities – University of Surrey (Great Britain), Helsinki University (Finland), Laurea University of Applied Sciences (Finland), University of Limmerick (Ireland), Lithuanian University of Agriculture, Baranovichi
Appendix 1
37
University (Belarus), Siauliai University (Lithuania), Leeds Metropolitan University (Great Britain) etc.
Within the frame of mutual co-operation contracts and SOCRATES/ERASMUS contracts the teachers of the department have participated in different international activities, for instance, organization of guest lectures, seminars and conferences, publishing, editing and reviewing of articles, improvement of qualification, joint research, organization of student on-job training in the EU countries as well as in implementation of student and teacher exchange programs.
Co-operation with embassies has become a tradition at the department. The Ambassador of the USA, the Netherlands and the Attaches of France have visited the Department of Languages. This year the department organized Francophonian Days in Jelgava where Ambassadors from three countries and the Attaché of Education and Culture of the French Cultural Center participated.
Next year it is planned to start on-line studies in co-operation with Great Britain, Finland and Sweden on cross-cultural communication in the program „External Relations of Organizations”.
Due to the contacts with other European Union countries the scientific and pedagogical activities of the Department of Languages have obtained international dimensions.
There are two record-keeping specialists at the department.Lately the number of teachers at the Department of Languages has grown considerably.
At present there are 22 teachers. Also guest lecturers are working at the department regularly from France, USA, Great Britain and Finland.

REFERENCEON THE 2ND LEVEL HIGHER PROFESIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMME
“EXTERNAL RELATIONS OF ORGANIZATIONS”.
The programme “External Relations of Organizations”, developed by the Department of Languages of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Latvia University of Agriculture, for obtaining the qualification of Manager of External Relations Unit is necessary and required as there is a demand in the labour market for specialists who could ensure qualitative functioning of external relations of organizations. With the integration of Latvia into the European Union the role of foreign language competence becomes increasingly important.
This programme offers study course blocks providing knowledge in economics, sociology, psychology and five foreign languages. All these spheres are successfully integrated into the curriculum.
The students of the 1st level higher professional education programme “Management of Organizations” were having practical training at our organization and the results of their work proved that the acquired knowledge and skills correspond to the requirements for the given profession. As the new programme is a logical continuation of the above mentioned programme, I consider that after completion of four courses the graduates will be able to compete in the labour market, perform their duties successfully and make professional carrier, promoting development of the corresponding organization and Latvia on the whole.
To my opinion the above mentioned programme is useful and necessary to implement.

REFERENCE ON THE HIGHER PROFESSIONALEDUCATION STUDY PROGRAMME
“External Relations of Organizations”
The study programme “External Relations of Organizations” that is planned for obtaining of the qualification - Manager of External Relations Unit – developed by the teachers of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Latvia University of Agriculture, is very topical as there is a lack in the labour market of Latvia of employees having the knowledge and skills necessary for insurance of cooperation of organizations with local and foreign partners.
My experience in international entrepreneurship shows that the necessity for the above mentioned employees increases but at present higher educational establishments do not train leading external relations specialists with the competence in full compliance with the needs of organizations. Due to the accession of Latvia to the European Union and development of new co-operation trends there will be even greater demand for the above mentioned professionals.
The content of the offered study programme proves that it will supply knowledge on external economic relations, entrepreneurship, management, the European Union issues, interpersonal relations, and other important fields. To my mind, the fact that the graduates after completion of the programme will have obtained professional knowledge and skills in managing different projects, personnel management, translation and preparation of documents, they will be able to communicate in several foreign languages, to apply the newest information technologies in their work.
To my opinion, the study program “External Relations of Organizations” is useful.

REFERENCEON THE 2ND LEVEL HIGHER PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAMME
“EXTERNAL RELATIONS OF ORGANIZATIONS”
The programme developed by the Department of Languages, Faculty of Social Sciences, Latvia University of Agriculture is envisaged for obtaining the qualification of the Manager of External Relations Unit.
Today external relations of Latvia are developing very fast and their role becomes increasingly important. Therefore, the demand for competent specialists in this field also increases in the labour market.
The offered study programme ensures the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and skills for the graduates to be able to work in different organizations successfully promoting development of external relations.
During the studies it is possible to learn the latest information technologies, economic and social sciences and interpersonal relations. It is important in Latvia to have competent foreign language speakers not only on conversational language level but who could also know agricultural, economic and industrial spheres. This program offers to acquire five foreign languages with a professional trend what is very creditable.
It is planned for students to have practical training for 26 weeks during which they will be able to perfect the theoretical knowledge and develop their practical skills to be able to integrate successfully into professional activities after graduation from the university.
I consider that this programme is required and could be recommended for accreditation.

Reference on InternshipIn the Company Ltd. “Jūrnieku centrs” (“Seamen Center”) in Liepāja, Celtnieku street 21 a student of the Faculty of Social Sciences, LUA, Radele Baiba was on her internship. During it the student had an opportunity to work as the manager of the Center, to work with documentation, to organize activities, visit ships, prepare and participate in international conferences. The most important activity was to prepare a conference of the International Transport Worker Federation Seamen Sports Committee in Liepāja at the Seamen Center. The preparation work for the conference was carried out successfully co-ordinating the activities with the Trade Union of the Lithuanian Trade Fleet, Helsinki Seamen Center, Seamen Welfare Departments of Sweden, Denmark and Norway and the co-ordinator of the International Seamen Welfare Committee in Belgium. The preparation was done in a written form – letters, e-mails – and on the phone in the English and German languages. In the process of preparation the participants of the conference had no misunderstandings that testify to good language skills in the preparation of the texts in large amounts. Also during the practical work in the conference - taking minutes and preparing the final documents – it was done quickly, perfectly and on a high professional level. Baiba Radele managed to prepare draft work for the visit of the Center to Helsinki to participate in the final conference of the International Seamen Sports Committee and the award ceremony. In the practical work meeting seamen from different countries independent of their language skills the student could talk to them interestingly and professionally, explain and suggest. In communication with seamen of different nations, cultures and levels of education she could keep the distance as a young woman in the frame of ethics and tact. As the basic work place of the accountant working in the Center is in another company, accountancy matters were in a poor condition. The student arranged the record-keeping materials in compliance with the requirements and she could even advise the accountant – record-keeper as well as the Director of the Center. Her opinion on the distribution of responsibilities for the employees of the Center were considered.As the working hours of the Center are flexible in dependence on the arrival and staying of ships in the port people must work also late in the evenings and on holidays. It is nice that also then the student was responsive and together with the other workers of the Center voluntarily carried out her responsibilities. It should be mentioned that the student suggested several proposals that improved our popularity and also income. According to her suggestion we signed a contract with a company she had found on development of a web site in three languages on very reasonable terms and the student herself participated in this work. According to her suggestion we put our ads in several Internet portals, after that the demand for our services increased – renting of conference and sports halls – from companies that do not work in the city of Liepāja.During her work Baiba Radele could quickly understand the most essential and important things, she solved smaller and secondary matters independently.Liepāja Seamen Center expresses gratitude for highly qualified training of students at the Latvia University of Agriculture for being ready for practical work.

Reference for the professional bachelor’s study programme „External Relations of Organisations”
The professional bachelor’s study programme „External Relations of Organisations” has been developed by the teachers of the Latvia University of Agriculture, Faculty of Social Sciences Associate professor, Dr. paed. Larisa Maļinovska and the Associate professor, Dr. agr. Jānis Ābele.
The programme has been worked out very accurately, in accordance to the regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia and the requirements of the profession standard of the “External relations unit manager”.The amount of CP of the programme is 160 (including the internship of 26 CP). The length of the study process – 4 years, full time studies.After the accession of Latvia to the European Union, the Latvian enterprises, institutions and organisations have acquired greater opportunities to establish and develop international co-operation with partners in other member states of the European Union. For this process to be successful, properly educated and professionally qualified specialists are necessary. The given study programme assures the opportunity for students to acquire knowledge and skills necessary for the successful fulfilment of the duties of an external relations unit manager. Especially positive is the fact that students can learn abroad, thus acquiring experience which cannot be obtained anywhere in Latvia. Lectures in the study programme are frequently delivered by guest lecturers from USA, Great Britain, Finland and other countries. During the time period from April 1-12, 2006, the students of this programme were given an opportunity to participate in an intensive international project Promoting Cross-cultural Management Competencies in the Baltic Sea Region, PIM 2006, which was organised at the Latvia University of Agriculture in the framework of the Baltic Sea Network. It really promoted the development of student competencies in the specialities chosen by them.
I consider that the study programme is necessary in order to satisfy the demand for external relations specialists that have acquired a qualitative education.

RECOMMENDATION
Riga,28. 06. 2006-06-28
The study program „External Relations of Organizations” of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Latvia University of Agriculture has been developed with the aim to train speciālists that could successfully manage the external relations structural units in enterprises as well as in SME. The program „External Relations of Organizations” offers to the students the possibility to acquire a comprehensive study program in order to prepare highly qualified specialists. In this study program it is possible to learn such courses as economics, marketing, management and others that supply students with knowledge on management of enterprises. This program offers also courses that ensure knowledge on successful communication with clients in the Latvian and other languages. I would like to especially stress the importance of the knowledge offered by the course „Functional Communication”. It offers acquisition of the competencies how to form successful communication with the clients in the English language that is very topical today as the popularity of the English language and its usage for the needs in work continue to grow. I have been working for two years in an international organization where every day doing my work responsibilities it is necessary to communicate with clients and co-operation partners, to plan and ensure successful development of the organization. The knowledge acquired in the program „External Relations of Organizations” are very useful for qualitative carrying out of the duties in work.I consider that the subjects offered in this study program supply with the stated aim and train highly qualified speciālists that can successfully manage external relation structural units in enterprises as well asi n SME.

Student referenceI am one of the few students who have graduated from this study programme and already started
to work in this respective profession.
Looking back to the four academic years that have been spent in the most favourite university
and town of Latvia, I recall many good things not only in respect of student life, but also my
faculty and lecturers of the study programme.
During the study process, there was a lot of co-operation from the side of lecturers, which is very
important for the development of a new programme, as it also has to be proper for the students
needs, not only the criteria and conditions that have been stated.
Thanks to the study subjects that I acquired in this programme, I got interested in seeking
additional opportunities outside the study process, for example, participate in international
events, attract local students and co-operate with students of other countries. In my second year,
the Associate professor J. Ābele delivered the Management course which gave me an impulse
that I could be not only the executive, but as a manager, what I also realised by starting to lead
the Student Council.
I consider a really great acquisition the attraction of foreign lecturers to this study programme, as
it is unique by its content, environment, as well as the students.
Thanks to the Director of the programme, the Associate professor L. Maļinovska, I was given an
opportunity to study in Finland for 4 months, which would have been much difficult if a part of
the study subjects had not been delivered in the English language. At the present moment my
experience shows that in order to become an external relations unit manager it is good for every
student to spend 3-4 months studying abroad.
Working daily in my profession I ascertained that not only language knowledge is important, but
so is the ability and skills to plan and organise which can be developed practically outside the
study process also there in the university, for example, taking part in some non-governmental
organisations. The student only has to be wiling to do this.
The content of the study programme is good, but I consider that it could be improved by
including more subjects in the English language and subjects related to teaching the performance
skills, as well as a course in public relations and gender equality. More attention should also be
paid to business etiquette and protocol which is delivered only in the first year.
I think that the psychology of communication is delivered in a very high level, as there were
guest lecturers attracted, and today I really use this knowledge in my work, as the profession of a
coordinator of relations is very closely connected with people.
Appendix 2
49
I recall a very important statement of the Dean – if I will not do this, then nobody else will
neither. Here is where the importance of our profession begins – to acquire experience, ideas
and methods of other countries, which may later be introduced in Latvia, developed regardless of
whether it is a non-governmental organisation, enterprise or institution. In some respect I would
like to call the students of this faculty the innovators that introduce the innovations in spheres
where they are really necessary, so that they can develop and grow regardless of the territory of
Latvia or state in general.
Not for a moment have I regretted that I had chosen to study exactly in this faculty and study
programme, as the faculty exists, functions and is rapidly developing in order to satisfy the needs
of the society.

Reference for the full-time Bachelors study programme „External Relations of Organizations”
I am a third year student of the Latvia University of Agriculture, study programme „External Relation of Organizations”. I have chosen this programme, because teachers of the University of Latvia suggested that I go there due to my great achievements. In that time the programme was very popular among students, as it has always been able to provide the labour market with specialists that are really necessary. The programme already has its own traditions, and the graduates may represent the quality of the study process in any enterprise or institution they work for. The key of success of the programme is hidden in the study process, where due to the proficiency and skills of the teachers the student acquires the necessary knowledge. The subjects the students may acquire are very different, therefore students do not lack knowledge in almost any sphere of professional activity. The graduates of this programme are called wide profile specialists within the labour market. Work experience is one of the most essential advantages in the labour market, which students of this programme have always gathered, as during the study process they have the opportunities to use the acquired knowledge during the internship. It should be noted, that mostly students even do not have to search an enterprise where to go for internship, as entrepreneurs offer them these positions themselves.The popularity of the study programme and its students abroad increases every year. Thus, for example, our students go for exchange programmes to Finland, the Netherlands and Lithuania. This year I was given an opportunity to participate in the organization and management of an international pilot project which within the framework of Baltic Sea Network took place in the Latvia University of Agriculture. Within the project, 40 students from 6 European countries acquired cross-cultural communication. Latvia was represented by 9 students of this study programme, which successfully fulfilled all the tasks and were appreciated by Latvian and foreign lecturers. But I, in turn, thanks to the trust of the directors of the programme in me, can successfully compete in the labour market with more experienced project managers. From my personal experience can I judge that while studying in this programme I have received job offers in very different specialities, several of which I have rejected only because I have wished to actively participate in the exiting study process which every year increases my level of qualification and competitiveness in the labour market. This programme has huge perspectives in the future not only in local, but also international level by setting and achieving new aims and strengthening the quality and level of proficiency in the labour market in general.
