1. Institutions in its national and international context

1.1. The Institution
RISEBA is one of the first private institutions of higher education in Latvia and was
established in 1992. At present, there are more than 4300 students in various study programs

including 19 state owned and 13 privately owned institutions.
Being the eights largest institution of higher education in Latvia among both the private
and State owned institutions, as well as second largest business school in Latvia, RISEBA has
been able to develop the following key competitive advantages:
Skilful management of the company that has achieved the existing state of financial,
operational, and educational success of the School;
Unique experience as one of the earliest institutions of the private ownership in the
educational market since its establishment in 1992;
Stable market position relating to the student and employers' attitudes that is also
supported by the strong Alumni position and dynamic growth of the student body;
Effective transmission of knowledge in the Baltic States area through the academic
personnel, cooperation partners, and contacts with companies in particular sectors;
Accumulation of unique experience as the result of international accreditations and
memberships and participations in exchange programmes across Europe;
Opportunities that are the result of the level of development of the internal
infrastructure and also the participation in the international programmes abroad;
Experienced academic personnel involved in value-adding research and scientific
process;
Strong corporate tradition and direction facilitated by the Vision, Mission and Core
Values of the School.
1.1.1. Mission, vision and strategic priorities

RISEBA s mission is TO BE A GATEWAY TO INTERNATIONAL CARRERS
RISEBA makes sure that our graduates are able to work in international companies, are
capable of operating within international business and professional environment, both, in
4
Latvia and abroad, are sensitive and tolerant to cross-cultural differences and are active
contributors of multinational teams. RISEBA provides challenge for creative individuals
capable of taking responsibility. Our highly qualified personnel with the use of modern
technologies facilitate the development of creative personalities and prepare students for
entrepreneurial careers at international level. Our students are potential employers who will
contribute to Latvian and European economic growth.
RISEBAs vision is RISEBA: UNIVERSITY OF BUSINESS, ARTS AND
TECHNOLOGY
RISEBA is inter-disciplinary, multicultural university, which trains and develops
intelligent, creative and independently thinking individuals for the global market. RISEBA
stands for excellent education, internationally recognized degrees, high quality of the study
processes, excellent scientific research base and highly qualified academic staff.
Values:
Openness. RISEBA is well known for its forthcoming attitude towards students. Its employees
are working hard to ensure a study-friendly environment, where the key traits are trust, respect
and responsiveness.
Cooperation. RISEBA is actively involved in local and international business environment,
which results in professional development of its students and employees. Together with its
graduates and partners, the School is creating exemplary academic and work experience which
is an integral part of the study process.
Lifelong Learning. By providing various forms and levels of education, RISEBA encourages
and promotes lifelong learning of students. Lifelong learning contributes to the development of
Latvia and other European countries as a contemporary knowledge society with stable
economic development, more and better work places, and greater social cohesion.
Diversity. RISEBA represents a bridge between Western and Eastern Europe thus paving the
way for student international careers. Through offering a diverse range of programmes, various
study forms and languages of instruction RISEBA ensures a multicultural environment and
promotes tolerance to diversity in the all its forms and manifestations.
Ethics and Social Responsibility. RISEBA acts as an ethical and socially responsible employer
and puts all the efforts to increase students consciousness about the role of business in helping
to cultivate and maintain highly ethical practices in society and in the environment, in the
meantime ensuring appropriate environment protection for the next generations.
To support the accomplishment of its vision and mission and to ensure the quality of its
offers RISEBA set the following strategic priorities:
Further internationalisation of the school
Research development
Faculty development
Curriculum Innovation
Development of Alumni Relationship
Development of executive education
RISEBA brand strengthening
Promotion of social responsibility
1.1.2. Marketing and Public Relations
Based on the marketing policies and strategies approved by the management, RISEBA
marketing and PR activities are aimed to realize the following objectives:
5
To attain and expand its market position in the Latvian education market
To gain a part of international education market
To build and strengthen the image and reputation RISEBA
To strengthen the RISEBA brand name.
To successfully position the university in the education market, specific target

audiences have been clearly defined for both Latvian and foreign markets. Based on these
audiences marketing activities are planned. The process of defining target audience is run in
close collaboration with RISEBA programme directors, because RISEBA has different
programmes with different target audiences which are diverse and dynamic.
It should be noted that reputation of RISEBA mainly ensured trough feedback from
RISEBA students and graduates. More than 60% of the freshman receive the information about
RISEBA from their friends, relatives or people they know our students who are studying or
has recently graduated. It shows that direct advertising and public activities play the secondary
role in the RISEBA image formation process. The preference is given to the quality of the
study process.
However, the current economic situation in the country should be taken into
consideration, as well as fact that the number of potential students decrease due to
demographic and other factors. Rivalry among universities and competition for prospective
students in Latvia will be very intense. Alongside to the competition, very important task of
RISEBA is to ensure that young and economically active youth stay, live, work and develop
their professional skills and knowledge in Latvia.
RISEBA Student Council is very actively participating in RISEBAs` public relations
activities. Every year they organize activities for students such events as students' Paradise,
Love Feasts, Global Innovation Tournament, Miss and Mister, etc. It should be noted that most
of these activities are organised in cooperation with other Latvian and foreign student
organisations.
In recent years RISEBA has developed new directions into a form of new study
programmes. Therefore, it was necessary to visually alter the school's image and visual
appearance. Currently RISEBA is building completely new and modern website, which
combines business, arts and technology, based on the new slogan - Business Meets Arts.
Based on RISEBA defined strategic priorities, which includes the internationalization

and significant increase of international students, RISEBA has launched a promotion campaign
outside Latvia.
To promote the school internationally RISEBA is actively researching international

markets. At the moment information on RISEBA is provided through the following webs
portals:
Masterstudies
Mastersportal.eu
Bachelorsportal.eu
Countries we are focusing on are the following - Belarus, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, Germany, Turkey, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia,
Sweden, Ukraine. These countries are geographically close to Latvia, represent both East and
West Europe and RISEBA provides a bridge between East and West.

1.5. Quality assurance mechanisms
1.5.1. External quality assurance

In accordance with Law on Higher Education, the quality assurance system in Higher Education
in Latvia was established in to steps: licensing and accreditation. The 2006 edition of Accreditation
rules define that after getting the accreditation for six years the programme should prepare and
submit the annual self assessment report. Quality assurance system in Higher Education of Latvia is
shown in the next figure.
Licensing Accreditation Self-assessment Re

Quality assurance system in Higher Education of Latvia

Below is shown how the national conception of higher education correspond to main principles
in formatting European Higher Education area.

National higher education area Licensing and

(BHECC, IZM, MK, AIP, AIKNC, accreditation
LPAA, LRP)
Quality assurance area in higher education

Strategic goal of the conception is to develop the system of higher education of Latvia to
maintaining our national context and ensuring the obtained degrees and diplomas are recognized by
both European labour market and European higher education institutions so that it is possible to
continue to study.
Taking into account the previous information and the fact that licensing and accreditation
helped to establish quality assurance system in RISEBA, it is very actual for us to achieve that the
system is not working just to prepare for next external assessment, but to get the system work for
the internal quality assurance with the aim to ensure the continuous improvement of whole study
process.
A testimony to the quality of RISEBA is the International Quality Accreditation awarded to
school in 2001 by the Central and East European Management Development Association
(CEEMAN). RISEBA got the re accreditation of IQA in 2008.
1.5.3. Internal quality assurance
Quality assurance and improvement is one of the RISEBA strategic priorities. On the way to
excellence RISEBA defined a number of criteria to achieve. In case of achieving them it will be
possible to assert that we are excellent in quality. As indicators to measure certain level there were
determined receiving of such international accreditations as AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA etc.
The most important goal of the quality assurance in RISEBA is to provide internal quality
culture and system work to ensure continuous improvement of quality.
The quality assurance system of RISEBA is based on ENQA (European Network for
Quality Assurance in Higher Education) standards and guidelines for quality assurance in the
European higher education area, EFQM excellence model as well also on EFMD study
programmes accreditation system (EPAS) criteria. Quality assurance system covers all the
processes connected to RISEBA performance. RISEBA management aim is to ensure the
transparency of the internal processes and performance according to requirements of regulator, and
to prepare excellent specialists necessary for international labour market who are not only
knowledgeable and skilled but are ready for professional life in terms of attitude and values as well.

2. Study Programme Organization
2.1. Study Programme Goals and Objectives
2.1.1. Strategic Goals of the Study Programme and their Correspondence to

RISEBA Goals
To advance the development of Republic of Latvia and accelerate its integration into the
European Union, the country should sustain its ability to generate new knowledge and sciences
in order to rapidly increase the overall living standards of local population. In continuing its
free market based economic model, it becomes imperative to provide the state with the highly
skilled work force in all the layers of government institutions and private enterprise entities. In
lieu of many advancements of audiovisual technology in mass media, there is an ever increasing
need for labour in such fields as film and television directing, directing of photography, sound
design, animation, computer generated graphics, 3D sound and 3D image design, game design,
and art house film production for global outlets. The emphasis is augmented by the need of the
workforce capable of generating the audiovisual product of highest quality but with the least
amount of financing.
RISEBA Master`s study programme "Audiovisual Media Arts" has been developed in
accordance with Latvias Ministry of Education, classification (code 45213 01), and the
regulations established by the Board of Ministers, record entry No. 2 , as of the 3 rd of January,
2002, governing "the Regulations for the National Higher Education Standards", geared at those
who want to professionally devote their lives to audiovisual media arts disciplines and aim to be
competitive in the markets of the European Union, Russia, and North America as well as those
willing to pursue academic and research activities on the international stage.
Goals of the study programme:

To prepare highly qualified, competent and competitive audiovisual professionals for the
suitable work in state and private mass media entities, television, film, radio, post-production
facilities, CG effects post-houses, sound recording studios and sound design research facilities,
and social media networks;
To prepare a new generation of creative industry consultants to assist businesses and
creative industries both locally and for the international markets;
To prepare a new type of entrepreneurs who can achieve the symbiosis of business and
creative thinking due to the knowledge gained both in the creative field and business.
The main objectives for the implementation of the study programme:

1) to provide a study programme that offers students the required skills in creative thinking
and the theoretical process;
2) to provide the study process with methodological materials, library services and state-of-
the-art facilities;
3) to carry out a comprehensive training in audiovisual media while rooted in the classic
traditions of Auteur Cinema;
4) to provide the framework in order to hone the necessary analytical skills and knowledge
required for television and film producer, film director, director of photography,
animator, CG supervisor, theatre director, screenwriter, and successful entrepreneur in
creative industries
5) to develop the capacities and knowledge required by the teamwork based work
environment, whole capable of solving complex artistic challenges and under pressure;
6) to aid the graduates in their exercising their analytical and research faculties while
working on their thesis projects;
7) to strike a proper balance between the studio courses and business courses;
8) to provide the framework in which the master thesis is attained at the level permitting a
successful entrance into a prospective doctorate study.
The study program also supports the new RISEBA precept: Business Meets Art, for,
along with the humanitarian study curriculum, the study programme comprises of a certain
amount of business courses to give the graduates an edge in the competitive international
audiovisual media market; it fulfils RISEBA mission: a Gateway to International Careers. The
program is only of its kind where the business courses are a mandatory part of the core
curriculum; it is also a unique program, because in its aesthetically philological framework it
encompasses the fusion of the American and Russian dramatic principles supported by the
academic and professional team internationally, and even Hollywood industry.
The courses are taught in English, Russian, and Latvian, with a serious load of home
works executed in English only. The teaching aids and readings materials are predominantly in
English.
2.1.2. The Target Audience and the Profile of the Prospective Graduates
The Master of Arts Program in Audiovisual Arts offers an academic degree intended to hone
the wider insight and practical training into various aspects of audiovisual expression, while rooted
in motion picture production. The program is geared towards the applicants who have already
acquired a prior training in filmmaking on bachelors level, and professionals currently working in
mass media, television, and film, as well as those undergraduates who wish to change their careers.
The main difference between the Bachelor of Arts in Audiovisual Media, and that of the Masters
Program is in the latter being dedicated to preparing graduate students for the world of independent
filmmaking. Its chief objective is to practice and to further all the traditions of Auteur Cinema, in its
most complex form, from narrative, experimental, documentary, music video to animation and
computer generated CG graphics. Moreover, many advanced level courses in film editing,
production, and screenwriting are novel to film students in the Baltic States such as theoretical and
practical applications of Gilles Deleuze and Gerard Genette narratology in screenwriting. The
advantage of undertaking mandatory business courses is for an independent filmmaker to become
also an entrepreneur or a visual consultant in creative industries.

Currently study process is being conducted in Latvian, Russian and English. Teaching aids
and homework assignment reading materials are mainly in English. To increase foreign student
presence in the program and to continue with the programs faster integration into the European
Union educational system, the program is being planned to be taught in English only.
Since the academic degree does not require nor does it allocate space for mandatory
practicum, students are able to further their skills and expertise via individual projects and
assignments accorded by various largest public media companies, such as Latvian Television, LNT,
Cinevilla, Riga Film Studio, as well as smaller companies FORM PRO, Screen Vision, The
Observatory Theatre, and other businesses in creative industries. A part of the practical skills is
carried out through individual projects commissioned by the programs strategic partners, such as,
the Latvian National Opera, Ltd. AirBaltic, Ltd. Mooz, to name a few, in which students are
acquainted with the actual production processes of a particular task, leading to a professionally
produced audio-visual media art product.
There are additional options for advancing the overall educational experience via trips to and
exchanges with other institutions and collaborating on individual projects with the Latvian
Academy of Culture, with which RISEBA signed cooperation agreements. The professional and
academic advancement of the program is monitored and mentored in close cooperation with the
Latvian Motion Picture Industry Alliance, one of the programs strategic partners and one of the

2.5. Perspective Evaluation of the Study Programme Taking into Consideration the Tasks of
Latvia in Implementing the Common Strategy of European Union
The master study program Audiovisual Media Arts is designed to educate and prepare
qualified specialists for competitive work in state and private mass media and film industry in
Latvia, as well as abroad. The programme is targeted not only at the traditional school but also at
teaching new specialists in the latest technologies and specifics of developing audiovisual content in
the situation of media convergence. During the study process, knowledge about the specifics,
traditions and methods of work of European, USA and Russian audiovisual industry and educational
trends is obtained. Studies are organised in Latvian, English and Russian, with a very stronger
emphasis being in English. It could provide the new specialists with flexibility and competitiveness
in the labour market and would allow them to develop a successful professional career.
When designing Masters study programme Audiovisual Media Arts, in communication
with the managers of the Association of Latvia Motion Picture Industry Professionals and the
largest film studios Cinevilla and Riga Films Studios as well as with CEO of RK Production Inc.,
Hollywood, it has been indicated that both the study programme and the study forms are very
important and they have big development opportunities, taking into consideration the dynamically
changing audiovisual media arts environment and development tendencies. An especially big
demand in this industry could develop along with cutting the analogous television broadcasts in the
entire European Union until 2012 when digital broadcasting will open even wider opportunities to
distribute the audiovisual work, films, animation, via social networks to wider global audience.

RISEBA Audiovisual Media Arts Masters Program has a cooperation agreement with the
Latvian Academy of Culture, which carries out a similar study program for students as well as the
transfer framework in case of RISEBA liquidation, and both master programs, between the two
schools, have already begun active cooperation.
In the near future RISEBA Audiovisual Media Arts Master's programs are planning to jointly
seek business partners in foreign universities to provide students and academic staff with academic
exchange opportunities. RISEBA, as a whole has a lot of notable foreign business partners. The
Masters Division at RISEBA have already began the preliminary talks with Salford University in
Britain, University of Agder, Norway, and University of Southern California in Los Angeles, USA.
2.7. Documents Certifying that in Case the Study Programme Is Liquidated, the
Submitter will Ensure the Students of the Respective Programme with the
Opportunity to Continue Education in another Higher Education Study
Programme or in another Higher Education Institution
See the copy of the agreement about the opportunities of the students of Master`s study
programme Audiovisual Media Arts to continue their studies at Latvian Academy of Culture
should RISEBA study programme be liquidated, in Appendix 6.
3. Study Programme Realisation

3.1. Student Enrolment

organizational system, facilities and the study process. During these classes they also get introduced
to each other and their range of interests; cooperation in team work is facilitated.
To date, in the Master`s study programme Audiovisual Media Arts in the study year
2009/2010 there are no international students; however, it is expected to have a pool of foreign
nationals staring with the academic years 2010/2011.
3.2. Implementation of the Study programme
3.2.1. Study Methods and Assessment System
The assessment system used by RISEBA is based on the following principles:

- assessment obligation need to obtain positive evaluation for every study course;
- accumulation students knowledge is assessed adding all the positive evaluations during
the studies;
- openness and clarity of course requirements when starting studies, the student is informed
about the course content, requirements and assessment.
RISEBA methods for assessing students studies and knowledge are objective and are
consequently followed. The amount of every test corresponds to the content of the study course and
the requirements for skills and knowledge stated in the Profession Standard.
The study results in RISEBA are evaluated based on two indicators:
- qualitative assessment mark on a 10 point grading scale;
- - quantitative assessment number of credit points based on the volume and importance of
the study course.
RISEBA assesses the quality of students knowledge based on the order of the Ministry of
Education and Science of Latvia and as provided by RISEBA assessment criteria.
The results of exams, quizzes, independent work, course papers, internship and tests are
evaluated with a mark on a 10 point grading scale (see Table 3.1).

The lowest positive evaluation in the master study programme is four points (almost
satisfactory).
The total of obtainable credit points is indicated in the curriculum. To evaluate the
correspondence of the students performed work with the curriculum, every semester and study year
the quantitative evaluation in credit points is performed 1 credit point corresponds to 40 hours.
Every faculty member regularly controls students knowledge in the study course, using the
types of assessment described in the course outline (quizzes, homework assignments, reports,
presentations, independent work, etc.). Requirements depend on the study course specifics and the
study organization in it. Regular work during the semester impacts the final assessment for the
course.
Based on the regulation Requirements for RISEBA Faculty, the type of assessment is
determined by the instructor, taking into consideration requirements for acquiring the particular
course and the weight of every type of assessment. Exams are organised in spoken and written form
in RISEBA. The final evaluation upon the completion of the study course includes evaluation of the
students work during the entire course, including participation and quality of work during classes,
results of quizzes and independent work, as well as assessment at the exam. The course acquisition
is successful if the requirements determined in the outline are met by the end of the examination
session, except for cases when the term is officially prolonged.
To facilitate student academic and research activities, the best students of RISEBA are
awarded allowances during the study year.
Requirements for student assessment are available in Appendix 7.
At the end of the study programme students should write and defend Bachelors Thesis. To
successfully complete the entire course volume and be awarded the bachelors degree, in their
Bachelors Thesis students should demonstrate the obtained academic knowledge corresponding to
the chosen qualification, as well as the practical skills.
The master candidates in humanities that are geared to earn Master of Arts are to
successfully pass the final review, which is composed of two parts - practical (A) and the scientific
research (B).
A practical part:

- all the financial liabilities determined by the study agreement have been met.
If the study programme is successfully acquired and the Master Thesis is evaluated positively (the
lowest mark is 4), students are awarded an academic degree in art and humanities, the Master of
Arts in Audiovisual Media Arts.
3.2.2. Impact of the Research Activity of the Academic Staff on the Study
Work
In audiovisual field, academic staff works in two directions in their professional activities
scientific research and creative work. In the Department of Social Communications, within the
framework of which the Master`s study programme Audiovisual Media Arts is implemented,
three scientific research teams work. Research teams have a pyramid structure. Each team is
managed by a PhD of the Department. The middle level is represented by Department faculty. The
basic level is made by the students from both masters and bachelors study programmes. In such a
way students are directly involved in scientific research activities. Thus themes of scientific
research enter the study work of these students. Textbooks and methodological materials written as
a result of research activities serve as feedback to the scientific work. An example could be
methodological book Marija Leiko or Film Encyclopedia written by professor Dr. Anita Uzulniece
who teaches Film History in the program.
No less impressive the works amassed by Professor Mike Hentze whose nature and the
synthesis of audiovisual language and experimental approbation have been featured in several
international creative projects such as Design Large pictures, first PEENEAALE Arts and Music
Festival, Loitz, Germany, Participation Schwer verdauliches within terrain Karlsruhe ZKM guest
lectures, guest lectures with German humor artist Andreas Zeger, retrospective Van Gogh TV
project Hatton Galleries, Newcastle, England, visual video settings Telekom Festspielhaus Hellerau
Dresden, Berlin workshop Leitsysteme teaching the architectural students from Kentucky, USA,
lectures Y Gallery, Estonia, seminars Klima Moks in Estonia, and others. His more detailed and
expanded body of work can be seen in the CV appendix.
Randal Kleiser, the U.S., is one of the best known directors, who has shot feature films
Peege (1972) Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976) Grease (1978), Blue Lagoon (1980)
Grandview (1983), White Fang ( 1991) Honey, I blew up a kid (1992) It is my party (1996)
Shadow of doubt (1998), Flight of the Navigator (1986) Big Top Pee-Wee (1988) Do It Right
(1989) Red Riding Hood (2004 ) Lovewrecked (2005), as well as a number of scientific research in
digital technology, Talking to Randal Klaiser (Full Circle magazine, 2010) Comfortably Numb
(Cinemaqueer magazine, 2009) His film Peege, has immortalized the U.S. National Library of
Congress as the artefact of the U.S. cultural heritage. His latest public exhibition of digital
technology project was designed with movie director James Cameron Avatar in May, 2010. In his
Skype video a lecture with Randal very often does he share his research results with students as he
continues his scientific research activities in the field of digital technology development.
Student personality development and involvement in research projects,

internship opportunities
The second direction is related to the impact of the academic staffs creativity on the
learning process, as students are introduced to a particular creative work via creative analysis of
the latest methods and technology solutions employed. In some cases, students are also invited
to contribute to help to create a creative work at a particular stage, which is included in the
study process within the context of practical work.
Creative process was essentially based on a specific creative personality, so it is essential
to study in the process of maintaining and developing the creative potential of young
professionals and independent thinking, ability to strategically and analytically formulate and
communicate in a professional performance, and most important to further develop master
critical analysis skills.
Already in the first course, students are given the opportunity of putting into practice
their course work projects through programs of cooperation partners, for example. Latvian
Television, LNT, the independent production company "Screen Vision", Riga Film Studio,
Studio Cinevilla, social web sites, Theatre Observatory, SIA Baltic Sun, the independent
company Forma Pro, Arsenal, etc.
It can be mentioned that during their course projects the students of the program use
professional actors in their films, very often notable artists, such as from the Theatre
Observatory, previously inaccessible for the student films.
4. Students
4.1. The number of Students in the Programme
The Master`s study programme Audiovisual Media Art " is in its second year of
inception. Despite its novelty and relatively expensive training, the total number of students is 15 is
deemed satisfactory. An optimal number of students is to ensure the individual approach and
quality of education required for master's level. All students studying are a full-time evening
attendance group. Matriculated student count is 15.
4.2. Student Surveys and their Analysis
Surveys is one of the ways RISEBA administration cooperates with the students, the goal of
which is to involve students in the study process evaluation and improvement. Student surveys are
held regularly, twice a year, usually for all study courses.
Student survey is carried out at the end of the study course by the programme management.
As a result of the surveys is a direct feedback about the quality of the study course, students
attitude, satisfaction, the sufficiency of handouts and their correspondence to the material studied.
The quality and style of teaching is evaluated for the strategic development and self-
evaluation of RISEBA teaching staff needs.
RISEBA uses questionnaires for the student survey. The questionnaire processing is
computerised, thus the information included in the questionnaires is available in an electronically
summarised form.
Below are attached excerpts from the annual student surveys. Full summaries of student
surveys are available at the Department of Social Communication
The questionnaire consists of three parts. The first part finds out students assessment of the
particular study course with the help of five questions. In the second part with the help of eight
questions the assessment of the academic staff is found out. The third part is devoted to student
suggestions in free form about how to improve the teaching process of the particular study course.
After each semester the questionnaires were summarised and analysed. A more detailed
analysis across positions follows further.
The fragments of reviews for the academic year 2009/2010
The results were discussed and analyzed by the teachers and experts of the program. There
were total 245 reviews for 21 core subjects (History of Photography, Film History, Photography,
Screewnriting, Film Narratology, Directing of Photography, New Media and Film Editing and
Aesthetics, Acting, Directing, Documentary Film, Sound Design, Interactive 2D un 3D, Integration
of New Technology and New media, Animation, Producing for Film and Television, International
Entrepreneurship in Mass Media, Distribution in Film and New Media, Moral, Ethical, and Legal
Aspects in Film Industry, Animation and SFX, Dramatic Construction in Audiovisual Arts).
4.3. Student participation in the study process improvement
The masters program of study process is continuously controlled study process in terms
of quality. Important role in improving the quality of the students are the students themselves.
Much emphasis has been put on the professional posture to develop practices, as well as the
audiovisual sector in psychological approaches along with international standards.
Along with student surveys, where are continually analyzed both positive and the
negative trends during the study, regular meetings are organized with the program director,
where students are introduced to study the process of further development of new courses of
study and academic staff. At these meetings students are questioned on current quality of the
process of study and study organizational problems. Meetings of the resulting information is
compiled and analyzed.
Both the survey and student group meetings, the base material is made operational
adjustments and learning content and instructional format. Also the program, the Council is
elected by one student representative from each group. Council meetings are heard students'
views on the challenges. Student representatives take part in the program of the Council's
decision-making in relation to changes in the study program. Programme Board and records of
meetings are available to the students of Social Communication Department.

5. The Results of the Study Processes
5.1. Quality of Students Works

Audiovisual media arts masters program started on November 2008, but has already
produced positive results. Although most students are working professionals, the nature of
training may be regarded as stern and rigorous, and despite the fact that the majority of students
have come from sectors that are not related to the audiovisual sphere, under the current Program
Director, the learning architecture make an attempt to be a par with the USA Film School
training programs in terms of intensity and saturation of course work. Thus, some first-rate
student work has already gained recognition at the state level have been included in the Latvian
television programs, such as Ina Serbakovas victory at the Goethe Institute's short film contest
announced in the first round, 2009, and several student productions of music videos aired on
Baltic Music Channel. First year student Zigmunds Ziemelis films have won various European
short film competitions, and many short videos are commissioned by many notable companies
such as Theatre Observatory, for which, in collaboration with Raimond Paul, master student
Inna Belagorska has been making the promotional videos aired on many TV networks.
5.2. The Reputation of the Program
An important indicator of the reputation of the program of study is increase of student
admission numbers. The program was opened in November, 2008. Despite this, the first year of
the program boasted 8 matriculated students. Three of these have taken an academic leave of
absence for personal reasons and family. As of 2009, there were 12 matriculated students, only
2 of them are taken an academic leave, and in spite of the complexity of economic factors in
Latvia, others continue to study and are successful in their training.
A significant trend RISEBA audiovisual media arts programs reputation is the fact that
during the short term the program management came to a broad cooperation agreement
concluded with the industry the largest companies in Latvia: Latvian Television, LNT.
RISEBA, in early 2010, was invited to become one of the founders of Latvian Film Producers
Association, in cooperation with the biggest Latvian film-makers - Riga Film Studio and
Cinevilla Studio.
Program's reputation continuously consults the industry's leading specialists on the
academic work in this program. The invited academic staff affirms the level and nature of
different awards such highest Latvian film industry competition "The Great Kristaps" prizes, and
earn various international audiovisual work competitions and shows.
It is worth noting the program director's collaboration with one of the greatest directors in
the U.S. Randal Kleiser and RK Productions, Inc., Hollywood, USA, as a result of which
RISEBA audiovisual media arts programs, both master's and bachelor, have a chance to live
online training with Hollywood industry professionals.
The program headed by Aigars Cepltis who holds his bachelors and his master's
education acquired in the United States, and has 15 years experience in film editing at a number
of smaller film production companies as well as his two year employment with, Randal Kleiser
in the capacity of a film editor where he was also responsible for Randal Kleisers pitches at
major Hollywood studios. Aigars Cepltis has also been crucial in developing two successful
training program in the audiovisual field: Apple Arts Centre, Elmer, New Jersey, USA, and
Remedee organization in Hollywood, USA.
The reputation is further underlined by the fact that the programme director Aigars Ceplitis,
while studying for his Master's degree at the California Institute of the Arts, has been a mentee of
Florimonte Lu, Lu Florimonte has studied under Alexander Mackendrick who, in his turn, was
the artistic director of Alfred Hitchcock and pupil: RISEBA Master's program students are, thus,
rightfully considered to be the descendants of Alfred Hitchcock.
6. Study Programme Development Plan
Importance of the study process quality is related to the presence of modern and adequate
facilities. Although at present the quality of technology used in training is sufficient, in the near
future it is planned to construct a new, more extensive media training centre, which would
provide the study process and simultaneously become a popular Latvian audiovisual activities
venue in Riga and internationally. Regularly it will be necessary to exercise a variety of film,
video projects, organize video installations, theatrical performances, creative exhibitions and film
shows. At the Centre, the work exhibited will primarily be that of RISEBA Audiovisual Media
Arts Bachelor's and Master's program students but to enhance the media centre artistic prowess,
the school will often invite to participate the most known RISEBA alumni, and the Centre will
serve as a hub to various artists who undertake their research projects.
At the academic level, the audiovisual media arts masters program strategy is to expand the
number of foreign guest lecturers, and move on to full training in English only. The program is
geared to expand theatre courses, expand the CG animation and special effects training, and
create more comprehensive sound design training package. In addition, there is a plan to develop
cluster where the film criticism and narratology research projects take place. On the practical
level, the strategy is to expand the entrepreneurship and business courses with the specificity of
the audiovisual industry, and widen RISEBA student work presence in the European Union and
North American student film festivals and other distribution channels.

After earning his PhD in engineering from the University of

Pennsylvania, Dr. Lindemanis spent his initial career at Fortune 500
companies rapidly progressing from engineering to corporate
executive positions involving product development, manufacturing
operations, technology transfer, strategic planning and mergers and
acquisitions. This included leading the acquisition and then managing
the Avco Metalworking Laser Co.
Building on this corporate experience, he formed his own executive
management consulting and investment firm. Starting with a new
biotech venture that he took public, Dr. Lindemanis has acquired,
controlled or turned around six companies as varied as biotech
equipment, lasers, food processing and apparel with annual revenues
up to $27 million and over 300 employees.
He has participated in more than 50 ventures throughout the world in diverse high tech,
industrial, financial and consumer markets. In addition to negotiating numerous strategic sales
and partnerships with Alcoa, Genentech, Hyundai, Samsung and other leading international
companies, Dr. Lindemanis has arranged over $30 million in financing from private placements,
institutions, venture capital and initial public offerings. He has participated in $100+ million M &
A's.
Since coming to Latvia in 2003, Dr. Lindemanis has held various academic positions, most
recently as Head of the Entrepreneurship Department at Riga International School of Economics
and Business Administration. Drawing on 20 years experience as a corporate executive, serial
entrepreneur and investor, he focuses on linking education with business to foster national and
regional economic development using project funding from the EU, UNDP and other donors. His
academic lecturing and research activities concentrate on adapting contemporary Western-
based management concepts and best practices for accelerated international growth in emerging
markets.
