Description of Master's Study Programme

Several components form and define the design structure, contents, environment and comprehension of design in Latvia. Design is an essential constituent element of the creative industry, and priority of design is declared in a number of various state documents. Meanwhile, however, there is no design development, support and promotion policy in the country and the challenging issue of the Latvian design identity remains open. Those institutions which deal with design, as well as other state, private and public organizations do not share the same objective, namely, to create and brisk up the unified design image and its environment in Latvia, to promote Latvian design, to define and demonstrate design essence, to contribute to society's comprehension of design. This situation has its economic roots: an average welfare level in Latvia is not sufficient enough to allow purchasing products with high added value.At present, efficient relationships between designers and manufacturers in Latvia are still developing very painfully. Latvia does not have sufficient number of manufacturers who are fully aware of the designer's role in an enterprise in Latvia, and there are not enough designers ready for the actual production process since there is no enduring communication between manufacturers and schools. As a result, the Latvian society does not appreciate design as a life quality improvement tool and as an added value factor. Design is not perceived as one of the state's culture and economics development factors. There exists an insistent need to contribute to the design environment in Latvia.Made in 2001, suggestions for the adjustment of the professional standard in the field of design (M.Kopeikins, the master's thesis within the framework of the Art Academy of Latvia magistracy "System of Latvian Designers Professional Standard Development", scientific consultant prof. P.Zeile) became one of the first methodical attempts of such kind. Further attempts followed, the Mollerup Designlab's research "Design for Latvia", and the 2008 project by the Design Information Centre "Creative Industry Education Improvement Project. Elaboration of Unified Latvian Design Education Concept, Design Education and Study Programmes".For some years the Latvian Designers' Society has been constructively cooperating with all state institutions on the issues relating to design education, design skills, design promotion, specification of the highest development degree of professional designers' skills, that is the issues of the professional activity certification. Each of these institutions has its own range of vision and skills in the field of design.Relying on the hands-on experience of the Latvian labour market and research of the situation in the EU market the Latvian Designers’ Society appealed to all relevant and interested institutions to come to terms as to the use of "design" notion. The idea is to approach the use of specific contents and essence of design notion in Latvia more from a scientific point of view and to get away from the notion attributed to it by the society and mass media, since it does not agree with the real essence of design notion. Such definition includes three inalienable features of design.

According to BIA Design School the following activities are considered to be design:a. DESIGNING (the design object conceptualization based on a technical task provided with philosophical, semantic, psychological, aesthetic and technological support and characterized by the features of independent aesthetic value. This means that the design object possesses the signs of unbiased visual harmony, and that the visual solution corresponding to the function was found, so the item is beautiful itself irrespective of the context, whether this is an axe or an expensive wristwatch);b. MODELING (the application of the traditional, industrial, post-industrial and virtual technology, creation of an aesthetically, ergonomically and technologically sound design pattern, or a model, tested in real conditions);c. PREPARATIONS FOR PRODUCTION (economically and legally sound preparation of

Page of 3 11

documentation and a design pattern required for visual, communicative, functional and utilitarian item production or manufacturing process, where priority is to preserve the added aesthetic value). Combined, these features form, the so-called, "idea of design", at the bottom of which there rest unbiased preconditions (philosophical, semantic, psychological, communicative, visual, aesthetic, functional, economic, legal and technological).

The primary objective of design is to create an aesthetic high-quality design item characterized by the maximum usability while implementing all kinds of utilitarian functions designed for convenience.

Practical activities and services not possessing such features and preconditions cannot be considered adequate design activities or services, and therefore such an activity or service cannot be counted as a design product. A professional designer is the one who provides completely adequate service capable to maintain all of the above mentioned features.Applied research in design is a part of the research of designing processes in various areas. Therefore, research in design is attributed to the totality of designing methods or certain disciplines. The research in design focuses primarily on a preliminary plan/vision/conception within the framework of designing process. The general goal is better understanding and development of designing process. Nowadays, the following kinds of skills in design education are topical and in demand in the Latvian labour market:1. theoretical/abstract skills2. practical/specific skills

The former are the skills which are important for design development, and the demand for them is conditioned by the search in the society for the conscious and unconscious culture, economics and country's identity, as well as by the growth of popularity of country's creative potential and claims for the foreign market.The latter are the skills important for practical activity in the local market, the demand for them stemming from the consumption of culture, economics and other production in society, as well as from the turnover growth of the country's domestic product.

Combined, these skills can be classified into at least three distinct subsections: • the research and development subsection (for whom, what for and what should be created, that

is product conception);• the practical designing of a product (which aesthetic/imaginative means of expression can

help accomplish all designing tasks, thus providing expected, purposeful, emotional effect);• the preparation of a product project and its adaptation for particular production/replication

technologies (which technological means can be used to fulfil an idea preserving the added aesthetic value and providing the maximum economic effect).

The first two parts (the fist and second one) form the traditional academic education in the field of art – the specification of an original idea, organization of an event of public importance (for instance, an exhibition), publicity achievement with the help of the main skill. The goal of this kind of education is to integrate such specialists into advanced industrial infrastructure, where everything is organised for the purpose of realization of designer's ideas. According to the Latvian Designers’ Society data at present there are no enterprises in Latvia with such an infrastructure and which would be ready to accept and apply such designer's services to the full extent; the actual demand on the local labour market is fluctuating within the limits from 10 to 20 % of the total number of employees in the design sector.

Page of 3 12

The second two parts (the second and third one) form the traditional professional education in the field of design – the manufacturing of the product adapted to definite technologies and corresponding to the demand of a narrow local market with the help of the main skill/objective, largely, applying partially compiled (not authentic, pattern-based) ideas. The goal of the education is to train and integrate such a specialist in the less developed industrial or post-industrial infrastructure organised for the purpose of independent designer's research of the market situation: usually this work is not fully remunerated by an average client, except for some rare occasions; therefore, the present development level within the Latvian industry and business activity shows rush for the traditional professional education as compared to the traditional academic education. The reason can be found in that phase of history when the priority in business activity was vested in the minimal production price with minimal investments made into the elaboration of a unique idea. There exists a demand for designer who is capable to generate ideas, elaborate visually and functionally attractive projects and adapt the concept to the technological cycle of manufacturing and so forth; the actual demand in the local labour market is fluctuating within the limits from 50 to 60% of the total number of employees in the design sector, the rest 20 – 30% of the employees in the design sector of the local labour market are the autodidacts who have managed to learn very limited practical functions, and they cannot be accepted as designers.A designer's practical activity requires wider range of practical skills, than it is specified in the academic education, and since many material resources are required, it cannot be provided in full within the framework of one study programme without the support of state and economic sectors.The role of the economic sector in the support of design development finds its reflection in the provision of the design education having access to more progressive technologies, and the possibility to experiment and search for authentic (when an author's idea does not repeat or modify any other author's idea) solutions; the idea of a design competence centre BIA and LDS came up with in 2002 could be accepted as a cooperation form co-financed by state and private higher schools, on the one hand (the provision of intellectual and experimental potential), and interested state and commercial entities, on the other hand, where the role of the state sector manifests itself in the elaboration of the most advantageous tax regulation for design development and provision of the financial support motivating design development.However, present commercial entities are not actually ready to provide serious support and invest into design education development; the state has not provided adequate mechanisms to motivate commercial entities.

Against this backdrop, there are currently three actively operating in Latvia higher institutions which have a distinct classification of design education priorities:

• The Latvian Academy of Culture makes strong emphasis on original ideas and pattern creation with the help of virtual, traditional and post-industrial technologies (work on the authenticity of an idea – 80%, work on the realization technology – 20%; government funding); altogether there are approximately 600 students in the bachelor's programme (there is no precise data about students mastering design) and approximately 170 students following the master's programme with no exact data as to the students mastering design.

• The Riga Technical University makes strong emphasis on the traditional and industrial technological process (work on the authenticity of an idea – 20%, work on the realization technology – 80%, government funding); altogether there are approximately 120 students in the design bachelor's programme and approximately 50 students in the design master's programme

• The Baltic International Academy with strong emphasis on virtual technologies and a balanced

Page of 3 13

division between the idea and technology (work on the authenticity of an idea – 50%, work on the realization technology – 50%; private financing); altogether there are approximately 500 students in the design bachelor's programme and 10 students in the design master's programme

• There is no such conceptual transparency in any other higher school in Latvia. Anywhere else emphasis is made following a rather traditional formula, i.e. it is the idea that enjoys priority as compared to competent service rendering in the area of professional design:International Higher School of Practical PsychologyDaugavpils UniversityLatvian Academy of CultureLiepaja Academy of Pedagogy

The complete systematized description of the higher education study programmes in the field of design is available in Appendix No. 10

4.1. Goals and Objectives of BIA Design School Professional Master's Study Programme:

The sections of the BIA second-level professional master's higher education study programme "Design" are the liberal arts, art section, design subsection, digital visualization design.

4.1.1. Goals:To provide professional higher education in the field of design awarding the master's degree in design and designer qualification, which education would ensure necessary knowledge and skills for the designing of a product or set of products with the added aesthetic value and replicated or produced with the help of traditional, industrial, post-industrial or virtual technologies, as well as the research on a product idea and the applied research on the choice of manufacturing technologies, product projects presentations, the higher education allowing further research and professional activities in the field of design:4.1.1.1. to improve scientific and professional skills in the field of designing, in development of

independent full-fledged creative projects, management and presentation; 4.1.1.2. to contribute to the improvement of undergraduates' knowledge and skills in the field of

design in order to develop the ability to find their way in the contemporary design of the Baltic region, Europe and the whole world; 4.1.1.3. to give an undergraduate the opportunity to realize him/herself as a professional, free,

responsible and creative personality.

The contents of the study courses are aimed at the profound individual development of student's research abilities. There is an evident emphasis on the combined method of the traditional and modular education; it purposefully provides the interdisciplinary studying model and includes both the theoretical and practical sectors of the research and methodology in social and entrepreneurial environment.

Thoroughly elaborated definitions and the academic staff's professional pedagogical competence ensure the clearness of goals.The academic staff's experience, development, professional competence in design and thoroughly worked out methodical instructions for the elaboration of a term paper, internship and master's thesis ensure the attainability of goals.The thoroughly elaborated evaluation system with distinct criteria ensures the verification of achievements.

Page of 3 14

4.2. Objectives and Planned Results:

The basic task of the master's study programme is to contribute to students' theoretical knowledge, the individual application of investigation and research skills for problem solving in the field of design, to enhance abilities, knowledge and proficiency which unify creative activity, the theoretical knowledge in culture, economics, social knowledge, the practical activity and management skills in the field of design, as well as to contribute to students' further scientific research in the doctor's degree study programme in Latvia and/or abroad.

The BIA master's study programme widens the knowledge, skills and proficiency in the field of design. The professional skills and proficiency in the following sections are developed within the framework of the programme: • in professional design activity and digital visualization designer qualification, • in the modeling of designer's professional and research career,• the settlement of management tasks within design projects.

To ensure the graduates' successful competitiveness in the labour market the study programme based on the previous education ought to help master the ability for the purposeful resolution of the following issues:

4.2.1. why and who needs a project (the problem research or research part of designer's professional activity initiating designing, i.e. a product designing technical task provided with semantic, psychological, aesthetic, and technological support);4.2.2. what kind of aesthetic and technical means of expression for the realization of a new

product idea can be applied (the substantiation and elaboration of the certain visualization and realization technologies, i.e. the applied research part of digital visualization designer qualification, that is the modeling applying traditional, industrial, post-industrial and virtual technologies and aesthetically, ergonomically and technically substantiated modeling maintaining exploitation conditions);4.2.3. how to prepare a new product project for the following technically acceptable replication

(that is the practical part of professional activity or form visualization and realization relying on the research of a particular production technology, that is economically substantiated visual, communicative, functional project preparation for expected realization or replication);

At present, three leading trends clearly stand out in the design education at all qualification levels, the balance between them is fluctuating:• visual, communication and multimedia section;• multifunctional and multi-technologies systems section, figurative environment section;• figurative and material environment section; traditional, industrial and post-industrial

technologies.

4.3. Skills Mastered within Study programme:4.3.1. to provide a client with full range design services;4.3.2. to consult clients or employers on design issues and the organization of design project

activity within the bounds of one's competence; 4.3.3. to create an optimum operation process of project activity for the rendering of full range

design services. 4.3.4. to resolve design problems in a new or unfamiliar environment; 4.3.5. to expound clearly and unequivocally on conclusions in the field of design for both

specialists and laymen, as well as on the knowledge and logical substantiation which these conclusions are based on;

Page of 3 15

to continue design studies in those fields which to a considerable degree are guided on their own or are autonomous.

The postgraduates after receiving the master's degree will be able to offer competent services in the following sectors of the labour market:

practical in environment, interior or their elements design practical in advertisement design • in advertisement item and exhibition equipment design • in polygraphic production and packaging design • in advertising photography design and colour correction • in digital animation design • in TV, video, light and show design practical in multimedia and web design practical in digital visualization in 3D modeling scientific and theoretical or theoretical and practical in design theory and history issues

The BIA has relevant scientific potential, technical and methodical provision and the organizational traditions in the field of designers training. The Baltic International Academy's scientific potential allows to realize the master's programme and award professional master's degree in design. The design master's studies open up new opportunities for further creative and scientific work in doctor's degree programmes both in Latvia and abroad.

Opportunities for Further Education:There are possibilities to continue studies in doctor's degree programmes both in Latvia and abroad.

This programme has analogues in other higher schools of Latvia:

Latvian Academy of Culture (The awarded qualification or/and degree: Master of Arts)Daugavpils University(The awarded qualification or/and degree: Professional Master of Arts)and in other higher schools as well.

(for comparison refer to tables 3.a, 3.b, 4, and Appendix No. 7).

5.2. The structure of the study programme

The study programme is structured so as the to bring the qualification of the specialist in conformity with education in Latvia, scientific and practical research, understanding of art and design, and current and prospective industrial needs . (see. Table 1. p. ). The following higher education professional study programmes are implemented at BIA:

• second level professional higher education study programme «Digital visualization design» (code – 42214), leading to the degree of professional Bachelor and the qualification of a digital visualization designer:

Accreditation date: 23- 11- 2005;Accreditation expires: 31- 12- 2011;

The main outcome of the Master studies programme is the individual Project, or the Master Project, worked out by every student, with the in-depth acquisition of the study disciplines consistent with the theme of the Master Project and the content and concentration of the previous

Page of 3 17

education in every particular case. The Master studies programme provides the content and technical and material resources for the students to acquire the in-depth knowledge, understanding and skills, in the humanities, design process and a range of subjects; interdisciplinary in the course of theoretical and practical studies. The study courses are designed to improve the research skills of individual students, the ability to apply those skills carrying out an exhaustive legal and economic analysis and the statement of reasons down to practical implementation and attracting the finance.The guiding principles at the basis of the Master study programme are drawn from the assumptions that the prospective Master student:

• since matriculations is already aware of the theme and concentration of his/her Master Project;

• consistently, during the entire course of studies improve the competences required to produce a successful Master Project;

• continuously, during the entire period of the studies (with varying load across the study semesters) work at the Master Project.

The ultimate priority of the study programme is the outgrowth of creativity and research.

The Programme encourages in-depth and focused study of: • trends in technologies of reproduction/duplication/replication specific for industrial production•virtual technologies specific for visualizations and multi-media area, • multi-functional and multi- technology systems, • objective domain-specific environments and systemic trends in those; • distinctive trends in technology of traditional, industrial, and post-industrial design, •the innovative and untraditional in problem solutions methods,• trends in domain-specific and material technologies.

For the programme acquisition the content of the programme in organised into modules comprising several study courses brought together to achieve an integrated objective, as well as to allow the students matriculated for the studies with other qualifications to acquire thoroughly the competences needed for the qualification of digital visualization designer.

The content of the study programme Design comprises:• in-depth knowledge in design and design processes;• skills to identify and skills to solve problem problems;•research methods;• in-depth interdisciplinary skills development, integrated study courses;•modular learning methods;•presentation skills.

The program of study (curriculum) of the Master study consists of the study courses needed for the profession, in-depth study courses on the general curriculum and of the student’s individual programs of study, with the supplementing student’s – choice courses. In order to improve consistently the relevance of the design study programme, the elective courses are continually reviewed from the point of view of their inter-coordination and appropriateness for the goals and objectives of education in the field of design.

In designing the BIA professional higher education Master study programme Design experience of similar Master study programmes offering professional education in the field of art, sub-field of design has been used:Siauliai University (Lithuania), www.su.lt ; University of Art and Design Helsinki (Finland) www.uiah.fi; Tyler School of Art, Temple university (USA) www.temple.edu/tyler.

6. Administration of the study programme and the internal quality assurance mechanisms

The study process is organized in compliance with the BIA Statutes, the Law on higher education establishment and other normative documents in force in the Republic of Latvia, as well as in conformity with the regulatory documents approved by the BIA Senate. Matriculation of the students occurs in compliance with the BIA and state regulations on matriculation that are annually approved by the BIA Senate.

Quality control and assurance procedures: •matriculation of the students with a professional qualification and professional Bachelor degree in design or fine art, or without professional qualification holding an academic Bachelor degree in design or fine art or a diploma of higher education in design, fine art or technological and engineering education, which complies with the second level of education or education set equal to that; after an interview with the applicant; • recruitment of the academic staff and other staff workers in conformity with the requirements for the position; • monitoring of the students’ knowledge and skills during the semester and examination period; • evaluation and improvement of the programme in accordance with the recommendations of the Programme Council; • evaluation of the academic staff based on the study outcomes and students’ feed back; • evaluation of the effectiveness of the BIA academic staff work and quality improvement efforts at various levels.The two main forms of the quality control are: • external audit – accreditation and assessment of independent; • regular self-assessment – the system of internal quality assurance.

6.1. External control of quality. External control of quality (accreditation) is carried out by the LR Ministry of Education and Science and AIKNC (HEQEC, Higher Education Quality Evaluation Centre) in collaboration with the higher education establishment.

6.2. Internal control of quality. Internal assessment of the study quality is continuously carried out by BIA Design School Programme Council, BIA Senate and BIA Academic Council. BIA Information and Analysis Centre conducts students’ surveys on a regular basis (concerning the lecturers, study courses etc.), document and process the data obtained.

7. Survey of the employers concerning employment of the graduates for the next six years.

Cooperation with the employers is closely connected with the development of each direction, as within the structure of a new branch of studies, the issues of cooperation are more focused on the achievement of definite professional objectives. Within the frameworks of the cooperation the study programme acts as a constructive quality control and indicator for the creative industry. See . Appendix Nr. 10.

8. Participation of the students in improvement of the study process

8.1. Cooperation between the students and the administration 8.1.1. The lecturers and the study courses are annually evaluated by the students by means of students’ surveys, the data from the students’ surveys concerning the study process, the quality of teaching, and the students’ wishes are taken into consideration in compiling the curricula;the groups’ seniors are informed concerning the schedules of the exams period;8.1.2. The students take part in work of the study Programme Council; two of them are members of the study Programme Council:Jeļena Gligalova;Ņikolajs Šelušenkovs

(see Appendix Nr. 13).8.1.3. Participation in the study programme self-evaluation:regular (at least once a semester) at individual and group discussions with the programme director the students look into the problems that might arise and look for the solutions in every specific case; the students’ feed-back is organized though written reports sent in by the students thus keeping the administration informed about problems or making suggestions on the study process optimization.8.1.4. The students of the BIA Design School study programme Design together with the lecturers go on practice plain-air trips;8.1.5. The BIA Students’ Parliament organize the students’ life and ensure the information exchange among the administration and the students;8.6. The BIA Students’ Parliament organizes the students’ leisure time (discotheques, tourist trips, hikes).

8.2. Students’ survey and data analysisStudents’ survey is conducted on a regular basis at the end of every semester. (see Appendix Nr. 11.).In the questionnaires the students evaluate on a point system the work of the lecturers, organization of the study process, extra-curricula activities, technical provisions for the programme implementation, the content of the study programme, express their wishes and make suggestions for the study process improvement. The questionnaires are filled in anonymously, so that the students could express themselves freely. The data of the questionnaires are processed with special computer program. The data of the students surveys are used for the study programme enhancement and study process improvement..

Samples of the students’ questionnaires see in Appendix Nr. 11.

Processing of the questionnaires of the Master programme Design students was made difficult by the fact that practically all the students work on individual study plans, thus, for example in the section «evaluation of a lecturer’s work» there was actually no opportunity to compare the lecturers’ work’s evaluations within one group. However, the overall picture appears quite positive. After the first semester practically all the students give somewhat lower evaluations, because not always can the students at once comprehend the rather complex system of compiling

Page of 3 23

an individual plan of study. At first they will have to probe deeper into the content and structure of the study programme, to look into the regulations and syllabi. Nonetheless, in the second year all the advantages of such system are made use of in a more reasonable way and the evaluations in total are higher. The greatest differences in evaluation are to be seen in response 3 the groups of the master students are small, therefore the contact is closer. In turn, the lowest evaluations are seen in 6 (practical works). It is evident that a significant degree of independence in carrying out the study works had an effect on that evaluation; during the interviews the students often talk about the expected accurate lecture notes to be made during the classes, they would like to have even a closer contact with a lecturer in solving technical problems. The research efforts into the specific nature of art are inexhaustible; methodology suitable for all the works in general is not feasible, therefore it is necessary to develop autonomous skills to find practical solutions, making use of a range of methods and their combinations.

10. Programme requirements, beginning of studies and assessment system

10.1. Enrollment examination.When entering BIA professional Master’s programme Design you need to undergo discussion of the Master’s paper theme. During the discussion you need to answer the questions, to confirm previously acquired knowledge in the sphere of art and design, to demonstrate portfolio of creative works and to make presentation in electronic format (CD or DVD), where it is needed to demonstrate the following knowledge and skills: (detailed description see in the Appendix Nr. 2)

10.2. Assessment system. Full version of the material is available on Lomonosova 4, room 209.

• matriculation requirements for Master students; • differentiated tests and examinations; • written papers, study work, qualification work, projects; • independent creative (research) work; • practical training; • qualification examination and Master’s paper. Master students knowledge and skills in practical training and study subjects are evaluated according to the 10 points system, where credit points are granted for the successful passing of an examination according to the study programme. If the final semester result of a subject must

Page of 3 26

be a creative work then the form of assessment of students’ knowledge is exhibition. The mark for this creative work is the result of the agreed decision of a group of lectures. Such evaluation process guarantees the objectivity of assessment and provides the maintenance of a single programme conception and mutual integration of study subjects. In general training subjects the students have to pass a written and /or oral examination or a differentiated test which is assessed by a lecturer. Current, semester and final assessment of the Master students’ knowledge is carried out at the programmed.

Current assessment of knowledge: Tests, home tasks, study works (during a certain period of time), intermediate exhibitions.

Semester assessment of knowledge: Differentiated tests and examinations during session period (as well as results of the exhibitions), study works.

Final assessment of knowledge: Qualification examination and defense of a qualification paper. In all the subjects where the final form of assessment is an examination, Master’s students knowledge and skills are evaluated with the following marks: 10 («outstanding»), 9 («excellent»), 8 («very good»), 7 («good»), 6 («almost good»), 5 («satisfactory»), 4 («almost satisfactory») – positive assessment; 3(«poor»), 2(«very poor»), 1 («extremely poor») – negative assessment. The subjects where the final form of assessment is a differentiated test are assessed with the marks as well. The main principles of Master’s students knowledge assessment are the following: • calculation of positive and negative achievements; • compulsory differentiated assessment; • coherence of requirements, openness, objectivity and clarity; • variety of assessment forms of study courses; • validation of assessment according to certain criteria and formal requirements. Master’s students are informed about the form and criteria of assessment at the beginning of the course, when they get acquainted with the study programme. Master’s students knowledge is assessed at all the course subjects, study works, projects, tests and examinations. Assessment is carried out according to the 10 grade scale. Credit points are granted for every study course, study work, and carried out practical task (CP), if the level of acquired knowledge is positive or evaluated as tested.

Examination is a written, oral or visual (exhibition) form of assessment of Master’s students knowledge, skills or achievements. To set up an examination the minimum amount of a study course has to be 2 credit points. Master’s students are allowed to take an examination only twice and in case of a dispute there is an additional possibility to undertake an examination in the presence of a methodical committee of a programme board.

Test is a written, oral or visual (exhibition) form of assessment of Master’s students knowledge, skills or achievements which is assessed with a mark. The type of assessment is established by an education programme, whereas the form of assessment (exhibition, written or oral form) is established by a lecturer of the course or a programme board. Practical training at the programme is assessed according to 10 grade scale system. Evaluators are the supervisors of practical training at the working place and the higher educational establishment. Credit points are granted for the completed study course and practical training, if

Page of 3 27

the acquired mark is not less than 4 – almost satisfactory according to 10 grade scale system. Qualification work and Master’s paper are assessed according to 10 grade scale system. The lowest positive evaluation mark is 4.

To assess study works in all professional design subjects there shall be used a criteria system of aesthetic value of a study work that includes:1. Exposition of study work/project at the exhibition: Master student exhibits the visual part

of his/her study work or project at the specially assigned exhibition place in BIA and hands in to the lecturer the CD or DVD disc with a full version of the work in electronic format containing original files or photo pictures of the work in electronic format, proving authenticity of the work.2. Study work/project assessment

The exposition is assessed by a methodical committee with a body not less than 2 lecturers with a corresponding qualification; at least one of them should be from the design programme methodical board. Assessment takes into account the accomplishment of sketches and practical works. Suggested assessment criteria are the following (both for sketches and practical work):Correspondence of a theme and a content, constructivism of analysis and decision 0–2 points;Clearness and professional competence in technical performance 0–2 points;Visually-grounded compositional performance of a project 0–2 points;Visually-grounded colours and tones 0–2 points;Visually-grounded stylistic choice of the project 0–2 points;Total – 10 possible points. If the total sum is less than four points (3, 2, 1), the work should be redone together with passing of a test during the next period of evaluation. Explanation of points: 0 – absolute failure to meet lecturer’s requirements; 1 – meeting lecturer’s requirements partially; 2 – meeting lecturer’s requirements in the full scope.

12. Content of a study programme

Professional Master study programme consists of several parts:

Study courses, which allow to master the latest achievements in the field both in theory and in practice, include study courses amounting to 16 credit points. This part includes basic courses, which allow to master theory and results of research in professional work in the sphere of design, as well as to master the methods and technologies which shall be used in practice in professional work in the sphere of design. Scientific work, creative work, project work and management study courses include study courses amounting to from 16 up to 32 credit points. Mastering of these courses provide knowledge and skills in a critical analysis of theoretical knowledge in design, the basic principles of research work, application of methodology and data analysis; skills in developing and applying the material of a presentation in an electronic format, to prepare research material for publication, application of methods of modern computer modeling, familiarization with modern methods of teaching design, mastering of the development of a scientific-research project, mastering of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the strategy and events of service marketing, mastering of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the sphere of intercultural communication. Pedagogical and psychological study courses include study courses amounting to 2-4 credit points. Mastering of the courses provides improvement of existing knowledge and skills in the theory and technique of psychological consultation, it also gets the students acquainted with the goals and objectives of design and ergonomics, with skills to deal with the latest problems of applied design, with theoretical and practical aspects of teaching design. One of the essential parts of the study programme is practical training of master students, amounting to 6 credit points. The content of practical training and its interconnectedness motivates the improvement of professional skills of master students. It also provides an opportunity to check the acquired knowledge and to master professional skills of the highest qualification level. (description of study courses, see Appendix Nr.3)Knowledge and skills in the professional work in the sphere of design acquired during Master studies shall be implemented in a Master paper (20 credit points).

12.1. Comparison of a study programmme with other programmes

BIA professional Master programme has been compared with professional Master study programmes Digital visualization design and Art of SPPA and Daugavpils University as well as similar programmes of foreign higher educational establishments (Siauliai University, Helsinki art and design university).

As LMA and LKA implement academic Master programme Art it is impossible to carry out a comprehensive comparison of these programmes, because there are different demands to academic and professional programmes.

Page of 3 31

Having compared BIA professional master programme with other Master programmes of Latvian higher educational establishments no analogous study programme have been found. The following programmes have been compared by June 23, 2009 (according to AIKNC data):

Full version of data, see Appendix Nr. 7

Professional Master programme of BIA differs from professional master programme in the following way: in BIA you can obtain Master degree in design and a qualification of a digital visualization designer whereas in SPPA you can obtain Master degree in digital visualization design. According to AIKNC data there are no programmes in Latvia which prepare professional master students in design sphere.At the same time it is difficult to compare the programme with other master programmes. Any academic study programme differs from a professional study programme in the structure itself. In an academic programme there is a mandatory part of study courses (A), mandatory optional part (B), optional part (C). Professional master programme is subdivided according to different principles. All programmes that are analyzed differ in content and structure. Nevertheless, all programmes are similar in the period of duration of studies (1,5 or 2 years) and amount of credit points (60 credit points – 80 ECTS). All programmes differ in specialization as well.

16.Summary

The lecturers, including guest-lecturers involved in implementation of the study programme Design are good specialists in their respective branches. All the lecturers have pedagogical and practical work experience allowing them to impart to the students theoretical knowledge complemented with skills derived from practical experience. A substantial number of the lecturers working on the programme are artists, who take part in exhibitions and hold one-man exhibitions (solo exhibitions) on a regular basis; other lecturers are designers a considerable range of activities. BIA library practically fully satisfies the needs of both the students and the lecturers, taking into account that new editions on art and design are added to the library stock monthly. Theoretical studies and detailed acquisition of theoretical material combined with acquisition of modern technologies in practice enables the students to produce quality works based on their knowledge, understanding of art theory and art history, and independent research; gathering and structuring the materials the students develop the substantiation of their research, design of the visual image of the intended product, its functional quality, the analysis of the issues of visualization and solutions in the following directions:environmental design, interior design or design of their components;in advertising and promotional design:• design of objects of advertising and equipment for exhibitions,• design of printed matter and packaging design,• design of promotional photography and color correction, • design of digital animation,• design of TV, video, light and show;

multimedia and web design;digital visualization and 3d modeling;theory and history of design.

On completion of the study programme the students have to pass the qualification exam and to work out a Diploma Paper (Project), which is a full-scope project comprising an application for financing; it serves a proof of the student’s professional preparedness and acquisition of knowledge in the field of design; which, in turn will substantially influence both the opportunities for further education and the quality of professional work as the ability to provide a quality professional service. The lecturers of the Computer design programmes are members of The Latvian Designers' Society, the Union of the Artists of Latvia and other professional associations. The students of the BIA DS programmes are members of LR Student Association. Alongside with the tasks of education in design, which emerged in working out the conception of the Bachelor study programme and comprised integration into creative industries, practical work towards the labor market and the entire economic processes, use of innovative and traditional technologies, the tasks of the Master studies is to equip the prospective designers with the competitive theoretical analytical competence contextualizing their work both in design and in economic processes. Respectively, the strategic matter of Master studies development is both the acquisition of practical skills and contextualised research combined with the development of the ability to provide theoretical substantiation allowing the Master students of design to adjust to the labour market and the cultural processes, as well as to equip them the ability to analyse those processes from the theoretical point of view and ground in them. The central issues of professional competence, which were solved by the professional Bachelor study programme, serve the basis for practical creative, research and professional work in the entire sphere of professional design, in cooperation with the market structures, professional associations, branch institutions and international organizations.

Data of full volume are presented in Appendix Nr 7.The professional Master programs of BIA and IIPP are different because BIA gives the possibility to obtain a Master’s degree in design and a web-designer’s qualification, but IIPP gives a Master’s degree in web-design. According to AIKNC data there is not a program in Latvia which gives a professional Master’s degree in concrete design sphere. That is why it is difficult to compare other Master programs. Any academic studio program differs from a professional studio program in the structure of the program.The academic program is a compulsory part(A) of a studio course, a compulsory part by choice is named a (B) part, and a part by free choice is called a (C) part. A distribution of a professional Master’s program occurs according to the other principles.All observed programs differ

according to a contents and a structure. But all programs are similar according to the length of the studio (for 1.5 or 2 years) and the volume (60-80 credit points). All programs differ according to a specialization.

About the Baltic International Academy (BIA) developed Professional Master program study programme Design

The Board of Latvian Designer Union on 13th June 2007, reviewed BIA developed Professional Master Programme Design for achieving a Master degree of Design and Web design. We are sure, that programme is developed according to modern concepts about the design actual problems and perspective development directions.

The structure of this programme is adjusted to the Law of Education in Latvia, Law of Schools of Higher Education, The Regulations of Cabinet of Latvian Republic «Conditions for the second level of Professional education, a State Standard» (Nr. 481; 20. 11. 2001).

The studio programme is designed in the way, that specialist qualification would correspond to Latvian education, scientific, applied research, design and arts, modern and perspective aspects. Material base, academical and informative resources correspond to modern requirements.

During the educational programme design stage, the comparisons of different aspect were made, including different aspects of different countries and schools of design. The necessity of length and volume of the courses, as well as the requirements for these courses were evaluated and well-founded, that fills the niche in Latvian market very well.

We consider that this is a right decision to create such a Master education programme, which has a basis for preparing wide profile specialists on a crumbled Latvian labour market.

We are sure that the programme has well balanced economical, legal, psychological and practical activities, we also find logical time of frame layout, terms, and a credit point system.

The BIA design programme has a successful experience in the collaboration with various business structures and designers that have practical knowledge in this area, and give an opportunity to integrate these programs in a labour market.

In future, we recommend to a widen use of certified designers with a practical experience in lectures and courses.

We are definitely sure, that this programme fully meets the requirements of design labour market in Latvia.

Best regards, Inguna Lauce,Chair of board, Latvian Designer Union
