2. Organisation of the study programme
2.1. Structural changes in the study programme
The study programme has not been modified since its accreditation. During the first two years, the
accredited study programme was implemented strictly according to the set plan, and it can be
concluded that the goals and objectives set for the first two study years of the study programme
have been attained.
2.2. Compliance of the study programme with the goals and objectives of the Riga Technical
University
Goal of the Riga Technical University is to provide study and research opportunities in the main
fields of study that fall within its purview. Study system at the Riga Technical University is devised
in accordance with the Education Law, the Law On Institutions of Higher Education, the
Vocational Education Law, as well as other regulatory documents and regulations, and is focused
on ways to facilitate the achievement of goals set by each study programme to the utmost degree
and to simplify attainment of objectives. Study system in the University is also governed by
documents prescribing relations between students and the University, as well as documents
prescribing process and organisation of studies.
Main documents which govern relations between students and the University are enrolment
documents, internal regulations, and a special agreement on study regulations.
Study process, procedure and organisation is prescribed, managed and determined by the following
documents and administrative bodies:
 Constitution of the Riga Technical University;
 administration of the University and the Senate of the University;
 administration of each faculty and the Council of each faculty;
 administration of each study programme;
 student self-government;
 each study programme;
 curricula.
Student ID cards of the Riga Technical University are issued to all enrolled students. Upon
admission, students gain all rights granted by the Riga Technical University pursuant to the
6
Education Law, the Law On Institutions of Higher Education, the Constitution of the Riga
Technical University, and other binding documents.
Students can undertake additional studies, change the mode of studies or study programmes,
transfer the assessment of knowledge acquired in one study programme to the assessment of
knowledge acquired in another study programme, as well as interrupt studies (for a period less than
2 years) without being expelled from the Riga Technical University.
Documents that set forth the functions of the University can be obtained from the administration of
the study programme, as well as they are available on the website of the Riga Technical University.
Professional bachelor’s study programme Financial Engineering is a 4-year full-time study
programme with a student workload amounting to 160 credits. Each academic year consists of two
terms; each term is 20 weeks long and includes 16 weeks devoted to studies and 4 weeks devoted
to examinations.
In order to attain the goal and objectives of the study programme, during the first year, students
take compulsory courses, namely, general education courses and general courses related with the
field of study that create a background for acquisition of specific knowledge and practical skills in
future. Upon undertaking the studies, students receive a brief informative material containing the
most essential information on organisation and practical process of studies; students also take an
introductory course into the relevant field of study for which they are awarded with one credit.
2.3. Mechanism for internal quality assessment
The Riga Technical University has established internal quality assessment system. Quality of the
study programme is assessed by the administration of the study programme, the chair, which
implements the study programme, and other organisational units involved in the study process, as
well as commission dealing with study programmes in the relevant field of study, the Council of
the relevant faculty, the Senate of the Riga Technical University, as well as self-government of the
relevant faculty students.
At the Riga Technical University, the quality of the study programme is assessed on several levels.
1. On the level of Prorector for Education, the internal quality is assessed by the Studies
Department. The Studies Department does the following:
 keeps and supervises the Register of Courses taught in the Riga Technical University,
as well as checks the compliance of courses with the higher education study
programme and curricula;
 surveys students studying at the Riga Technical University. Goal of the survey is to
identify the degree to which the first-year students have adapted to the University, as
7
well as the level of satisfaction with the study process, lectures and practical classes.
Survey results can be obtained from the Studies Department of the Riga Technical
University;
 ensures availability of rooms (100 – 200 seats) and equipment for lectures.
2. On the faculty level:
 once a year, the director of the study programme together with commission dealing
with study programmes in the relevant field of study assesses the topicality of the
study programme and submits a report on that to the Council of the relevant faculty;
 representatives of student self-government, which are actively involved in the work
of the decision making bodies of the University, namely, the Academic Assembly,
the Senate, committees of the Senate and the Council of the relevant faculty, assist in
ensuring quality of the study programme. Student self-government conducts surveys
on students’ opinions and suggestions regarding possibilities to improve courses and
performance of lecturers. Once a year, self-governments of students studying at the
Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology and the Faculty of
Engineering Economics and Management of the Riga Technical University award
the annual Teacher Prize. The Teacher Prize is awarded in several categories and
candidates are nominated in a survey;
 the Faculty of Engineering Economics and Management of the Riga Technical
University has put into operation a new building located in Riga at Meža iela 1/7
with rooms and technical equipment that comply with modern standards and thus
will improve the quality of study programme implementation;
3. On the level of the relevant Chair and the administration of the study programme:
 each term, a student survey on the quality of teachers’ performance and the study
programme is conducted by the administration of the study programme. Survey
results are discussed in the meeting of the administration of the study programme,
meeting of commission dealing with study programmes in the relevant field of study,
meeting of the Chair of Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics, and
meeting of the Council of the relevant faculty;
 each academic year, descriptions of courses and curricula, as well as methodological
materials, recent textbooks and methodological guidelines for written assignments
(reports, term papers, internship reports and graduation papers) are reviewed;
8
 courses and seminars on the most up-to-date teaching and pedagogical methods are
organised for academic staff, as well as academic staff’s participation in courses
aimed at improving qualification is facilitated;
 academic staff and the administration of the study programme are exchanging
experience with colleagues from foreign institutions of higher education, meeting
with the people and entrepreneurs representing the relevant sphere, discussing issues
that are topical in the relevant sphere, as well as analysing the results of research
papers and projects written by students;
 the Chair ensures compliance of rooms and technical equipment with the quality
requirements.
3. Description of the study programme, lectures, practical classes, seminars, and other
academic activities
3.1. Number of credits and accounting units
Student workload in the study programme amounts to 160 credits (equal to 240 ECTS credits).
Credits are calculated according to the Decree of the Ministry of Education and Science of the
Republic of Latvia on transition to uniform international system of credits. Credit is a unit that
measures workload of a student. One credit corresponds to a student’s workload of 40 academic
hours, including contact hours and independent work (one week of full-time studies). In order to
ensure that credits and workload of students in institutions of higher education in Latvia is
comparable with those of other European countries, ECTS credits are calculated by multiplying
credits awarded in Latvia by a coefficient 1.5.

4. Assessment system
Students of the study programme Financial Engineering must comply with the assessment
requirements and procedure established at the Riga Technical University. Proficiency is assessed
pursuant to general requirements on assessment of professional higher education (Cabinet of
Ministers Regulations No. 481 of 20 November 2001), decrees of the Ministry of Education and
Science of the Republic of Latvia, and regulations adopted by the Senate of the Riga Technical
University. Quality of knowledge is assessed with grades in the 1 – 10 range or with a pass/fail
evaluation. Quantity of knowledge is determined by number of credits awarded for completion of
each course.
After every course, students have to take tests or examinations. Type of assessment is set forth in
the study programme. Students are examined or tested by academic staff. Form of examination or
test (oral, written or mixed) is determined by lecturer. Content of each examination or test matches
the content of each course and corresponds with requirements set for skills and proficiency in the
Occupational Standard. Pursuant to the Regulations Concerning Assessment of Learning Outcome
adopted on 29 March 2010 (concerns all tests and examinations, except the state examinations)
there is only one final decision on completion of a course. Proficiency in compulsory courses is
tested in an examination (examination is also taken to complete each part of a course consisting of
several parts); exceptions include courses with one credit, Sports, and courses that according to the
Prorector for Education can be completed by taking a test. Proficiency in required elective courses,
which consist of several parts, is tested in an examination that is taken for each part of the relevant
course. Other courses can be completed by taking either an examination or a test. Learning
outcome is assessed with grades in the 1 – 10 range or with a pass/fail evaluation. Relevant course
is completed successfully if a student passes a test or receives a grade in the range from 10 (with
distinction) to 4 (almost satisfactory) in an examination.
In the majority of courses, especially during the first study years, the system of regular testing is
used; namely, teachers give regular tests, tasks, laboratory or home assignments, as well as assess
student participation in seminars, etc. In the beginning of the term, students are informed about the
share of these regular assessments in the final assessment of the course. This approach is used for
assessment of the first-year students, and it has been concluded that it helps students to organise
their studies. In some courses taught in the final years of study programme practical assignments
are substituted with individual assignments which can be carried out by students after study hours
at a time convenient for students. These assignments are assessed with grades and have to be
defended in order to demonstrate proficiency and skills.
15
Credits are awarded for each course that is regarded as completed after student has received a grade
that is not below 4 (almost satisfactory) in an examination or has passed a test.
Information on the terms and requirements concerning final examinations or tests for each course,
internship programmes, and requirements for internship report defence is made available to
students.
 Terms and requirements concerning examinations and tests, as well as questions included
therein can be obtained from the administration or academic staff; they are also available on
the interactive website www.ortus.rtu.lv.
 Terms and requirements concerning examinations and tests, as well as questions included
therein are explained to students during the first class of each course; this information can be
repeated upon request.
Some courses include drafting of study projects that is set forth in the General Regulations on
Planning, Drafting and Assessment of Study Projects adopted on 23 March 2007. Students, who
have drafted study projects, have to defend them in an open meeting of assessment commission.
Commission consists of at least two members of academic staff. Study project and students’
performance at the defence are assessed with grades in the 1 – 10 range.
Internship is outlined in the document on Procedure of Organisation of the Internship of the Riga
Technical University adopted on 25 January 2010. Internship report has to be defended it the end of
internship. Internship report is defended publicly in compliance with requirements concerning
internship set forth in the regulations of the study programme. Achievement of goals and objectives
of internship, as well as internship report (content of the report, including the assessment of the
extent to which the skills acquired during studies have been applied in practice, reference from the
place of internship, characteristics provided by the supervisor, performance of students at the
defence, answers to questions, layout of the report) are assessed by the internship defence
commission with a grade in the 1 – 10 range.
In the end of the study programme, students write and defend their bachelor’s theses by applying
academic skills in solving problems topical in the field of study. Bachelor’s thesis is defended in
public and is assessed by a special State Examination Commission (Regulations on the State
Examination Commission were adopted by the Riga Technical University on 28 April 2003).
Quality of thesis, presentation of thesis (ability to explain conducted research in a scientific,
concise and well-reasoned manner, ability to define conclusions, and to outline direction for further
research), as well as answers provided to questions posed by the Commission and debating skills
are taken into account in assessment of bachelor’s thesis. Supervising tutor, reviewer and the
Commission assess thesis in a closed meeting. The Commission assesses performance and decides
on awarding professional qualification and professional degree. State examination is assessed with
a grade in the 1 – 10 range.
16
If the study programme is completed successfully and the state examination is passed, a student is
awarded with a professional bachelor’s degree in financial engineering and a qualification of
financial analyst. Sample of bachelor’s diploma and appendix thereof is provided in Appendix 3.
Examinations and tests envisaged by the study programme measure the level of proficiency and
skills of students, as well as identify dynamics in individual development over a certain period of
time. This system of testing was introduced at the Riga Technical University in the academic year
2001/2002; it has proved its efficiency and accounts for higher level of skills and proficiency
among students, as well as better awareness of student performance and compliance of assessments
with real skills and proficiency of students.
Information on completed courses and learning outcome are regularly analysed and discussed in
the meetings of the Chair.
Student surveys, examination and test results, assessment of written assignments, projects and
internship reports are used in education quality control.
Table 4.1 identifies the goals of the study programme and systems used in measuring their
achievement.

Institutes and their chairs and professor groups ensure methodological implementation of studies,
namely, they design and update courses, teach courses, supervise bachelors’ thesis and participate
at the thesis defence, as well as fulfil other methodology-related functions.
Appropriate technical and service staff is also involved in implementation of the programme.
Study process takes place in auditoriums, computer rooms and places of internship. Theoretical and
practical classes take place in auditoriums and computer rooms, while acquired knowledge is
strengthened and practical skills are gained in places of internship.
Individual work of students constitutes a comparatively large part of the study process – the study
programme includes written assignments.
During the recent two years, the study process has been significantly improved and modernised.
Several auditoriums have been remodelled and equipped with new furniture, computers and
overhead projectors. Computer rooms, photo-copying machines and methodological laboratories,
as well as the Scientific Library of the Riga Technical University, reading rooms and rooms for
individual or group work are available to students. Students have access to periodicals and
textbooks, as well as internet.
The study programme offers courses in the spheres of economics, humanities, social sciences and
management that are included in the study programme as required elective courses. Students can
use internet free of charge at computer rooms of the Chair of Theory of Probability and
Mathematical Statistics and the Computer Centre of the Faculty of Computer Science and
Information Technology.
5.1. Influence of academic staff’s research activity on the study process
Academic staff of the study programme Financial Engineering is actively involved in research by
taking part in international conferences and international research projects. Thus, teachers improve
their skills and practical experience which are later used in the teaching process – teachers inform
about new trends in the sphere of finances and apply modern teaching methods.
20
During last decades, modern natural sciences have been developing rapidly; that is related with
analysis of dynamic system behaviour in random environment. It has become obvious that it is not
enough to be aware of the average dynamics of a system – there is a need to have an ability to
analyse complex chaotic oscillations of phase coordinates that are hard to predict. These skills are
used not only in theoretical studies but are also widely applied in practice. One of the most vivid
examples is a well-known Black-Scholes option pricing formula and algorithm for rational activity
of stock market participants that identifies statistical uncertainty of financial flow.
Therefore, many study programmes intended for financial analysts contain courses where methods
and algorithms of stochastic analysis are used in assessing parameters of computer regression
models. Academic staff of the study programme Financial Engineering must have a high level of
knowledge in the theory of modern stochastic dynamic systems and their practical application.
Research activity of academic staff of the Chair of Theory of Probability and Mathematical
Statistics of the Riga Technical University complies with these requirements. All teachers at the
Chair have been awarded with their degrees for research on stochastic dynamic systems and their
application. Furthermore, entire academic staff of the Chair is still actively studying stochastic
analysis and its application in solving problems in financial engineering. For more than a decade, a
seminar on Stochastic Analysis and Financial Econometrics has been organised under the auspices
of the Chair. Research projects have been implement successfully (in the period from 2001 to 2004
– grant No. 01.0579 of the Latvian Council of Science for studies on Asymptotic Methods of
Stochastic Analysis; and in the period from 2005 to 2009 – grant No. 05.1879 of the Latvian
Council of Science for studies on Asymptotic Analysis of Stochastic Stability).
The following doctoral thesis have been written and defended: in 2007, Normunds Gūtmanis
defended doctoral thesis on Sensitivity Analysis and Forecasting of Conditionally Heteroscedastic
Regression Models and in 2009 Jolanta Goldšteine defended doctoral thesis on Asymptotic Methods
for Linear Markovian Iterative Convergence Analysis.
Currently there are five students studying at the doctoral study programme Mathematical Statistics
and its Application implemented by the Chair; their doctoral thesis are related with development of
algorithms and methods for analysis of stochastic dynamic model regression in financial analysis.
Scientific achievements of academic staff of the Chair can be used in training high-quality
specialists in applied statistics and financial econometrics.
Algorithms and computer technologies devised by professor Matvejevs are used for calculation of
premiums and reserves in pension insurance are used in teaching the course Life Insurance
included in the study programme Financial Engineering of the Riga Technical University.
Methodology for stochastic analysis of regression models (diffusion approximation with Ito
equation) devised by professor Carkova and docent Pavļenko are used in teaching courses
Econometrics and Monte Carlo Methods in Financial Engineering. The above-mentioned examples
are used not only in the study process at the Riga Technical University but also at other institutions
21
of higher education. These approaches are used in the study programme Mathematical Statistics
offered by the University of Latvia.
5.2. Involvement of students in research projects, internship opportunities
Every year, in conjunction with celebration of the anniversary of the Riga Technical University the
International Research Conference is organised. On 11 – 15 October 2010, 51st annual
International Research Conference of the Riga Technical University was held.
Every year, in April, annual research conference of students is organised by the Riga Technical
University which provides a platform for students to address theoretical and practical issues and to
discuss the conclusions in a broader circle.
Every year, in September and January, the Riga Technical University hosts the Conference on
Innovations and Modern Technologies. Within the framework of the Conference, research
projects of the Riga Technical University and research projects funded by the Riga Technical
University and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Latvia are presented.
The study programme contains student internship – third-year students have an internship at an
enterprise working in financial sector. During their internship, students get acquainted with activity
and functioning of relevant enterprises and apply their knowledge in practice. Places for internship
are provided in compliance with cooperation agreements concluded between the University and
enterprises.

6.2. Employer surveys
Survey results (Appendix 5) showed that employers consider the study programme as topical and
significant from the perspective of national economy of Latvia. Employers think that it is useful to
implement the study programme at the Faculty of Engineering Economics and Management and
the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology of the Riga Technical University.
26
Employers also indicate that due to development of financial engineering as a specific sphere there
will be a demand for graduates of the study programme in future (for at least six to ten upcoming
years).
Since 2004, the Riga Technical University organises annual Days of Career of the Riga Technical
University. The aim of this initiative is to inform students studying technical sciences about
enterprises working in the relevant sphere, and to build a bridge between students and potential
employers. Concurrently, Days of Career of the Riga Technical University show the real situation
in the labour market and the level of demand for relevant specialists. Number of enterprises, which
are interested in employing specialists in financial engineering, increases annually.
7. Students
7.1. Total number of students enrolled in the study programme
The study programme was launched in academic year 2009/2010, and therefore, currently there are
39 students studying in the programme.
7.2. Number of first-year students in the study programme
In academic year 2009/2010, 23 students joined the programme.
In academic year 2010/2011, 20 students joined the programme.
Four students decided to change the study programme.
7.3. Number of graduates
Currently there are no graduates.
7.4. Student surveys and analysis of survey results
Two different student surveys are being conducted:
 student survey conducted by the administration of the study programme;
 student survey conducted by self-government of the Faculty students.
Student survey conducted by the administration of the study programme (Appendix 6) is intended
to find out the opinion of students about the quality of courses and academic staff, as well as to
27
offer possibility for students to express their views and recommendations on how to improve
teachers’ performance and curriculum of the study programme.
Surveys are conducted once in a term, and students give their assessment of each course and
teacher. Surveys are anonymous in order to prevent a situation when teacher changes his/her
attitude towards a student or a student group on the basis of answers they have provided, as well as
to achieve the main goal – to ensure an objective assessment.
Surveys contain questions on availability of textbooks for the relevant course, assessment criteria
used by teachers, culture and quality of studies, observance of students’ rights during studies, time
devoted by students to individual assignments, and discipline of studies. Final part of the survey is
indented for recommendations and suggestions for possible improvement of the quality of each
course and teachers’ performance.
Twenty-eight students from the professional bachelor’s study programme Financial Engineering
took part in the survey (72% of the total number of students studying in the programme). Survey
results showed that 95% of teachers in the beginning of a course explain requirements concerning
completion of a course and assessment system. Students have indicated that all teachers are well or
very-well prepared for classes, contents of courses do not overlap, and teachers explain relevant
subjects in a logical and clear manner, and facilitate independent thinking of students. 90% of
teachers managed to cover all subjects intended to be taught in a course, and contact hours were
spent wisely. 70% of teachers introduce students to the most recent achievements and problems in
the relevant field of study. Survey results reveal that there are certain problems with textbooks.
85% of students think that textbooks suggested by teachers are useful but not available. Many
textbooks are in English and often libraries do not have the necessary number of copies in stock;
there are also subjects on which there are no textbooks available in Latvian. The main
recommendations for improving the study programme are as follows: courses in other languages
should be introduced in the study programme, and number of copies of each textbook should be
increased. Some teachers have been recommended to use audiovisual materials, computers and
overhead projectors more actively, as well as to upload study materials on the ORTUS – internal
information system of the Riga Technical University.
Survey results are analysed in the meetings of the administration of the study programme and the
Chair. Surveys and survey results can be obtained from the administration of the study programme.
7.5. Graduate surveys and their analysis
Currently there are no graduates.
28
7.6. Participation of students in improving the study process
Quality of the professional bachelor’s study programme is constantly monitored during the study
process. Students have a significant role in improving the quality of the study process.
Students can improve the study process directly, namely, they can share their expectations directly
with the relevant teacher, administration of the Chair, and director of the study programme; or they
can do it through the student self-government members, which are also members of the Council of
the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, the Senate of the Riga Technical
University, committees of the Senate of the Riga Technical University, and the Academic
Assembly of the Riga Technical University.
Student surveys have a significant impact because they are organised regularly and they reveal
opinion of students about each course and organisation of studies.
Concurrently with student surveys, which indicate the positive and negative trends, informal
student group meetings are organised on regular basis. These meetings are chaired by the director
of the study programme. During these meetings students are informed about future developments
in the study process, new courses and academic staff. Students are also asked to express their
opinion about the quality of the study process at the relevant moment and problems concerning
organisation of studies. Sometimes teachers are invited to attend these meetings. Information
obtained during these meetings is gathered and analysed.
Curriculum and teaching process is modified on the basis of survey results and outcome of student
group meetings.
Representatives of students are also elected to the Council of Study Programmes. During the
Council meetings, students have an opportunity to express their opinion on existing problems. At
the Council of Study Programmes, representatives of students are also involved in adoption of
decisions concerning modifications in the study programme.
8. Assessment of academic staff
8.1. Number of teachers
A total of 39 teachers from the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology and the
Faculty of Engineering Economics and Management of the Riga Technical University are involved
in implementing the professional bachelor’s study programme Financial Engineering. Among
them there are professors, associate professors, docents, lecturers and highly qualified specialists.
Academic staff involved in implementation of the study programme complies with requirements
set for teaching relevant courses. Data provided in Table 8.1, curricula vitae of teachers, their
involvement in devising research and methodological materials, participation in research and
29
methodological conferences organised by the Riga Technical University and other institutions of
higher education, as well as participation in international conferences attest to that.

In general, academic staff has an appropriate level of qualification and is able to ensure highquality studies.
8.2. Compliance of academic staff’s qualification with requirements
Qualification of academic staff complies with requirements that are set for personnel involved in
implementation of the study programme and their curricula vitae, which are included in Appendix
2, attest to that.
Research conducted by academic staff of the Chair can be used in training of highly-qualified
specialists in the areas of applied statistics and financial econometrics. Algorithms and computer
technologies devised by professor Matvejevs are used for calculation of premiums and reserves in
pension insurance are used in teaching the course Life Insurance included in the study programme
Financial Engineering of the Riga Technical University. Methodology for stochastic analysis of
regression models (diffusion approximation with Ito equation) devised by professor Carkova and
docent Pavļenko are used in teaching courses Econometrics and Monte Carlo Methods in Financial
Engineering. The above-mentioned methods are used not only in the study process at the Riga
Technical University but also at other institutions of higher education. These approaches are used
in the study programme Mathematical Statistics offered by the University of Latvia. As a result, in
the period from 2008 to 2010, Anna Stecurina, Tatjana Pundanni, Anastasija Dmitrijeva and
Jevgenija Vlasova, students in the study programme Mathematical Statistics of the University of
Latvia, wrote and defended their thesis on is subject at the Chair of Theory of Probability and
Mathematical Statistics.
In November 2009, professor Carkovs read lectures on stationary distribution of heteroscedastic
conditional variance to students of the master’s study programme Financial Engineering taught at
the Mälardalens University, Sweden; in January 2010, he read lectures on asymptotic methods for
Markov dynamical systems to students of the master’s study programme Financial Engineering
and students of the doctoral studies programme Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics
taught at the Institute of Mathematical Statistics of the University of Tartu, Estonia. These lectures
contain conclusions of recent research in stochastic analysis and its application in financial
econometrics conducted by academic staff of the Chair of Theory of Probability and Mathematical
Statistics.
Professor Počs is also actively participating in research projects. He is responsible for several
projects that are funded by the Latvian Council of Science and the Riga Technical University.
Other teachers also take part in various research projects.
Active research activity of academic staff also attests to the high level of its qualification. Teachers
have published their research projects and relevant results in local and foreign publications. The
most significant publications in the period from 2008 to 2011 are the following:

9. Sources of financing and infrastructure
Infrastructure of the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology and the Faculty of
Engineering Economics and Management can be divided into three major groups: premises for
studies and research; library; information technologies.
Premises for studies and research
Studies and work of the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology and the Faculty
of Engineering Economics and Management are conducted in three buildings of the Riga Technical
University:
 building on Meža iela 1/4, Riga;
 building on Meža iela 1/7, Riga;
 building on Meža iela 1/1, Riga.
90% of the study, research and administrative activities take place in the building of the Faculty of
Computer Science and Information Technology on Meža iela 1/4. Out of 30 rooms available to the
Faculty, 85% are equipped with multimedia equipment, namely, computers with internet access
and speaker systems, overhead projectors, or document cameras. Thus, it is possible to ensure
modern and high-quality study process. Buildings on Meža iela 1/4 and Meža iela 1/7 contain
following rooms:
 4 auditoriums (90 seats equipped with multimedia equipment) used for lectures;
 11 auditoriums (up to 70 seats equipped with multimedia equipment) used for lectures and
practical classes;
 9 auditoriums (from 20 to 40 seats half of which have multimedia equipment installed) used
mainly for classes, individual or group work, or language studies;
 computer room (28 seats equipped with multimedia equipment);
 methodological laboratory (equipped with multimedia equipment).
In the building on Meža iela 1/1 there are 6 auditoriums (from 30 to 50 seats) with multimedia
equipment installed.
Students and academic staff of the study programme have access to a large and modern library of
the Riga Technical University. Students and academic staff also have access to other elements of
infrastructure of the Riga Technical University, including cafeterias and cafes (located in all
buildings of the Riga Technical University), photo-copying rooms, dormitories, sports and
recreational centres of the Riga Technical University, swimming pool, etc. There are vending
machines for snacks and soft drinks installed in the premises of the Riga Technical University.
34
Auditoriums are constantly modernised, new methodological and study laboratories are
established, new office equipment, textbooks and computers are purchased, as well as other
activities are undertaken.
The professional bachelor’s study programme Financial Engineering is a tuition-fee-based study
programme. Tuition fee for full-time studies in academic year 2010/2011 amounted to 890 LVL.
In the upcoming academic year, it is planned to provide state-funded studies for some first-year
students of the study programme. In the next academic year the tuition fee for full-time studies will
be increased and will amount to 900 LVL.
10. Cooperation activities
10.1. Cooperation with employers
The University cooperates with employers through Employers’ Confederation of Latvia; it
cooperates with state and municipal institutions, as well as private organisations and enterprises.
The Counsellors Convention of the Riga Technical University was established with the Decision of
the Senate of the Riga Technical University adopted on 24 September 2001; it is composed of
representatives from 26 enterprises, banks, associations and state organisations. It ensures closer
cooperation with employers.
Main goals of cooperation are as follows:
 information exchange on topical issues and problems in diverse spheres of services;
 improvement of the study programme and curriculum in order to prepare highly-qualified
specialists;
 increased cooperation in research;
 ensuring of internship opportunities for students;
 provision of practical training opportunities for academic staff.
It is planned to conclude several agreements on cooperation with enterprises that are interested in
these initiatives.
Main objectives of cooperation and topical issues:
 to identify the necessity of the study programme and demand for relevant specialists; to
ensure internship opportunities;
 to offer topics for bachelor’s thesis (to identify problems faced by enterprises that could be
addressed by students during their internship);
35
 to involve experts (specialists from enterprises) in the study process.
Goal of the internship is to offer opportunity for students to acquire in-depth knowledge, to use
relevant skills in solving specific problems and thus to acquire practical skills of financial analyst,
to improve professional and research skills by participating in development of projects in the
capacity of financial analyst. Goal is achieved if a student fulfils the task of internship that is set on
the basis of characteristics of the relevant enterprise and students’ experience.
In the beginning of internship, meetings with supervisors appointed at the enterprise will be
organised to discuss issues related with organisation and supervision of internship. Supervisors will
be informed about the requirements for the assessment report and will be provided with the
internship programme and methodological instructions for the management of enterprise.
In the end of internship, students will have to write internship reports, provide references from
places of internship and references from management of enterprises. Internship reports will be
defended publicly before the commission of the relevant faculty.
Highly-qualified specialists that are involved in real projects will be invited to take part in the study
programme in the capacity of supervising tutors for bachelor’s thesis and members of the State
Examination Commission.
10.2. Cooperation with Latvian and foreign institutions of higher education offering similar
study programmes
Professional traits and skills of financial analyst are mainly acquired during courses dealing with
accounting and finance; therefore, the study programme is compared with those study programmes
offered by other institutions of higher education in which the above-mentioned courses constitute
the largest part of curriculum.
Comparison of the full-time professional bachelor’s study programme Financial Engineering with
two similar study programmes offered by other institutions of higher education in Latvia is
reflected in Tables 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.
In Latvia, higher education in financial engineering is offered by the following institutions of
higher education:
 the University of Latvia, professional bachelor’s study programme Insurance and Finances;
 the Baltic International Academy, bachelor’s study programme Finance Management;

Difference between the study programme offered by the Riga Technical University and the abovementioned study programmes is that the former offers more courses in information technology
module.
In different institutions of higher education around the world specialists in financial analysis are
taught at the faculties of mathematics, economics and computing. This study programme is devised
as an inter-faculty programme, namely, it is implemented by the Faculty of Engineering Economics
and Management and the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology. The Chair of
the Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics is closely involved in the study process and
is responsible for teaching courses in the mathematics module.
The programme was devised on the basis of study programmes offered by two institutions of
higher education, namely, academic study programme on statistics taught in Lithuania, which is
more oriented towards theoretical education, and study programme implemented in Ireland, which
is more oriented towards practical training. Study courses were selected from the Register of
Courses of the Riga Technical University with the aim to ensure that students of this study
programme can study certain courses together with students from other study programmes and thus
have smaller tuition fees. The study programme consists of three main modules: mathematics
module, economics module and computing module. Mathematics module offers basic knowledge
needed for further studies in actuarial mathematics and financial mathematics; economics module
provides skills in investments and financial analysis; and computing module is focused on financial
and actuarial technology software.
Comparison of the above-mentioned study programmes allows concluding the following:
48
 graduates of all study programmes are awarded with similar professional bachelor’s degrees
in finance;
 all study programmes offer similar compulsory and professional specialisation courses in the
field of finance;
 all study programmes include internship.
11. Procedure in case of termination of the study programme
If the professional bachelor’s study programme Financial Engineering is terminated, after
assessment of credits and curricula students can continue their studies in the accredited professional
bachelor’s study programme Insurance and Finances offered by the Faculty of Economics and
Management of the University of Latvia or the accredited professional bachelor’s study programme
Risk Management and Insurance offered by the BA School of Business and Finance.
After passing examinations in certain courses, students can transfer to other professional higher
education study programmes offered by the Faculty of Engineering Economics and Management or
the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology of the Riga Technical University.
Such an option is offered because students of the study programme Financial Engineering are fullfledged students of the Riga Technical University having all relevant rights.
12. Study programme’s development plan
Strengths and weaknesses of the study programme and its implementation are assessed and
development plan for the study programme is drafted jointly by the administration of the study
programme, chairs, professor groups, institutes, and faculties; this process includes analysis of
diverse factors, assessment of results, as well as planning.
Analysis of the study process in the professional bachelor’s study programme Financial
Engineering revealed several strengths and weaknesses of the study programme which are shown
in Table 12.1.

 there will be problems with
involvement of experienced specialists
having talent in teaching.
 there are bright career opportunities for
graduates;
 infrastructure for studies has been
significantly improved.
Goals of the study programme Financial Engineering are based on the following strategic goals of
the Riga Technical University:
 excellence in teaching – high-quality, prestigious, internationally recognised study
programmes that train students in assessment and creative processing of information,
analytical thinking, development of innovation capabilities and practicing of life-long
learning, and thus offer competitive specialists to the labour market;
 excellence in research – high-quality researches that are integrated in the study process and
are closely linked with international, national and sectoral research programmes; researches
that facilitate transfer of technologies and creation of innovations;
 excellence in organisation and recognisability – democratic, effective and modern work
organisation that fosters excellence in teaching and research, as well as increases global
recognisability of the Riga Technical University;
51
 excellence in infrastructure – infrastructure that complies with international standards, is
regularly improved and ensures that the study process and research activities can comply
with the highest quality standards.
Study programme’s development plan, which is devised on the basis of the SWOT analysis and the
Strategic Goals and Objectives of the Riga Technical University adopted by the Senate of the Riga
Technical University, is reflected in Table 12.2.

One of the main factors that ensures the development of the study programme is the opportunity
given to students to study. Currently, opinion of students and employers about the study
programme is positive; however, some critical remarks and recommendations have been expressed
regarding the study process and practical application of skills. Unfortunately level of proficiency
among applicants decreases year-on-year; therefore, future students of the study programme should
be involved in research projects. Mobility of students should be facilitated within the framework of
ERASMUS programme and other international programmes.
Active cooperation with financial institutions, which employ or will employ students of the study
programme Financial Engineering, is needed.
 Studies on the need for finance specialists in organisations and enterprises, as well as on
proficiency and skills required for implementation of future development plans of
organisations and enterprises should be conducted.
53
Summary
One of the main factors that ensures the development of the study programme is the opportunity
given to students to study. Unfortunately level of proficiency among applicants is not high because
pupils having a higher level of proficiency choose academic bachelor’s study programmes.
However, the number of those final-year pupils of secondary schools who have expressed their
desire to study in professional bachelor’s study programme is sufficiently high. It means that the
right of free choice has improved the prestige of professional study programmes. Thus it is
essential to upload as many study materials on internet as possible. More representatives of
enterprises and organisations should be involved in the study process (currently this idea is realised
by involving those doctoral students who do not work at the Riga Technical University).
Main areas of future activity are as follows:
 measures indicated in Table 12.2 should be executed if possible;
 analysis of drop-outs should be conducted;
 number of internship places should be increased, and internship opportunities abroad should
be considered;
 students of the study programme should be involved in research activities of the Chair.

Physics is closely related to the natural sciences, leads to the new multidisciplinary research
directions - biophysics, material science, physical chemistry. Physics is also the basis for
engineering. Directly from the development of physics the technical level of production is
dependent on. All this points to the fact that the physics course at the technical universities have a
special meaning. Physics course for engineers is a fundamental theoretical training base, without
which the further success of the engineer is not possible. Course of study based on the School of
Mathematics, provides the theoretical basic knowledge of mechanics, molecular physics and
thermodynamics, electromagnetism, wave and quantum optics, quantum mechanics, solid state
physics, atomic physics, nuclear, and particle physics. In the frame of the course practical skills of
solving methods as well as experimental work skills and the experimental results of mathematical
processing basics are acquired. The course consists of lectures with practical examples and
laboratory work.

Abstract
In the last five years Latvian high schools are teaching informatics by three different course
standards. In the first year’s first semester it is essential to equalize the knowledge of students so
that the lecture courses of computer science could be taught the same way for all the students.
Matriculated students with weak knowledge in algorithmization receive necessary knowledge so
that they could be easily included in the whole student population and would successfully master
skills in application software and programming.

Abstract
The course apply methods of mathematical statistics to analysis of economics models in this
course. Single distributions and multi-dimensional distributions and auxiliary functions and
numerical methods for ruin probability calculations are considered.
The analysis of the continuous and individual risk models with modelling on the computers is
considered. The effect of reinsurance on the adjustment coefficient, and hence on the probability of
ruin is presentedfor various forms of reinsurance.

Entering the university after secondary school the students nowadays have a relatively high level of
the English language skills. Therefore, sustaining and improving this level it is important to provide
the students with the opportunity to apply their basic knowledge within the framework of the
chosen scientific and professional field. The aspects of language application are significant, i.e., it is
important to acquire special terminology, grammar constructions that are typical of the literature of
specific areas. To improve the competitiveness of graduate engineers in the international labor
market it is necessary to provide the students with opportunity to use the language often and more
effectively in all those aspects within the selected professional field. All the texts for reading
comprehension, writing and speaking topics are selected according to the study program taking into
account the average level of language skills. The selected lexical and syntactic constructions typical
of the technical language and language for specific purposes (LSP) are taught independently on the
study program.

Abstract
The subject complements the foreign language course within the framework of professional
bachelor program.
Speaking, writing, reading and listening skills are developed and improved on the basis of texts in
the special field, paying particular attention to the study and practical application of terminology,
communicative models, and lexical and grammatical structures of the written language.
Reading skills and competences are developed by reading texts in the special field, as well as
improving various reading strategies and the ability to evaluate and analyze the information
perceived.
Listening skills and competences are developed by listening to original oral texts.
Speaking skills and competences are developed taking part in monologue and dialogue, discussion
on topical issues, asking and answering questions, validating one’s point of view, etc, as well as
delivering presentations.
Writing skills and competences are developed by writing essays, reports, summaries of the texts
read at the classes and independently.
All the texts for reading comprehension, writing and speaking topics are selected according to the
study program taking into account the average level of language skills. The selected lexical and
syntactic constructions typical of the technical language and language for specific purposes (LSP)
are taught independently on the study program.
Goals and objectives of the course in terms of
competences and skills
The aim of the course is to continue developing four language skills (listening, reading, writing,
speaking) at an advanced level, so that the students are able to take part in the discussion and
express their point of view on any topic orally and in writing both in their professional field and
popular scientific field; to prepare the students for the final exam at B2-C1 level according to CEFR
Structure and tasks of independent studies
Home reading. The students read and work in details with at least two texts a semester, summarize
the information, prepare presentation, master new terminology from the texts. 3 written tasks a
semester.
