8. ZIŅAS PAR AUGSTĀKĀS IZGLĪTĪBAS SISTĒMU VALSTĪ
Lai iegūtu tiesības iestāties augstskolā/koledžā, jāiegūst vidējā izglītība. Vidējās izglītības pakāpē ir divu veidu programmas – vispārējās vidējās un profesionālās vidējās izglītības programmas. Reflektantus uzņem augstskolā vai koledžā saskaņā ar vispārīgajiem augstskolas/koledžas uzņemšanas noteikumiem. Augstskolas un koledžas var noteikt arī specifiskas uzņemšanas prasības (piemēram, noteikt, kādi mācību priekšmeti jāapgūst vidusskolā, lai varētu iestāties konkrētajā augstskolā/koledžā attiecīgās studiju programmas apguvei).
Augstākās izglītības sistēma ietver akadēmisko augstāko izglītību un profesionālo augstāko izglītību. Bakalaura un maģistra grādi pastāv gan akadēmiskajā, gan profesionālajā augstākajā izglītībā.
Akadēmiskās izglītības mērķis ir sagatavot patstāvīgai pētniecības darbībai, kā arī sniegt teorētisko pamatu profesionālai darbībai.
Bakalaura akadēmisko studiju programmu apjoms ir 120–160 kredītpunktu (turpmāk – KP)1, no tiem obligātā daļa ir >50 KP (75 ECTS), obligātās izvēles daļa ir >20 KP (30 ECTS), bakalaura darbs ir >10 KP (15 ECTS) un brīvās izvēles daļa. Studiju ilgums pilna laika studijās ir seši līdz astoņi semestri.
Maģistra akadēmisko studiju programmas apjoms ir 80 KP (120 ECTS), no kuriem ne mazāk kā 20 KP (30 ECTS) ir maģistra darbs, programmas obligātais saturs ietver attiecīgās zinātņu nozares izvēlētās jomas teorētiskās atziņas >30 KP (45 ECTS) un to aprobāciju aktuālo problēmu aspektā >15 KP (22,5 ECTS).
Akadēmiskās izglītības programmas tiek īstenotas saskaņā ar valsts akadēmiskās izglītības standartu.
Profesionālās augstākās izglītības uzdevums ir īstenot padziļinātu zināšanu apguvi konkrētā nozarē, nodrošinot absolventu spēju izstrādāt vai pilnveidot sistēmas, produktus un tehnoloģijas un sagatavojot absolventu jaunrades, pētnieciskajam un pedagoģiskajam darbam šajā nozarē.
Bakalaura profesionālās studiju programmas nodrošina profesionālo kompetenci, šo programmu apjoms ir vismaz 160 KP(240 ECTS) – vispārizglītojošie kursi >20 KP (30 ECTS), nozares teorētiskie pamati >36 KP (54 ECTS), profesionālā specializācija >60 KP (90 ECTS), izvēles kursi >6 KP (9 ECTS), prakse >26 KP (39 ECTS), valsts pārbaudījums, tai skaitā noslēguma darbs >12 KP (18 ECTS).
Maģistra profesionālo studiju programmu apjoms ir ne mazāk kā 40 KP (60 ECTS) – jaunākie sasniegumi nozarē, teorijā un praksē >7 KP (10,5 ECTS), prakse >6 KP (9 ECTS), valsts pārbaudījums, tai skaitā noslēguma darbs > 20 KP (30 ECTS), kā arī pētniecības, projektēšanas, vadības, psiholoģijas un citi kursi.
Abu veidu bakalaura grādu ieguvējiem ir tiesības stāties maģistrantūrā, bet maģistra grādu ieguvējiem – doktorantūrā. Maģistra grādam tiek pielīdzināti arī medicīnas, zobārstniecības un farmācijas profesionālajās studijās iegūstamie grādi (5 un 6 gadu studijas), un to ieguvēji var turpināt studijas doktorantūrā.
Profesionālajā augstākajā izglītībā bez bakalaura un maģistra programmām pastāv vairāki citi programmu veidi.
• Pirmā līmeņa profesionālās augstākās izglītības (koledžas) studiju programmas, pēc kuru apguves iegūst ceturtā līmeņa profesionālo kvalifikāciju. Programmu apjoms ir 80–120 KP (120–180 ECTS), un tās pamatā ir paredzētas profesijas apguvei, taču to absolventi var turpināt studijas otrā līmeņa profesionālās augstākās izglītības programmās.
• Otrā līmeņa profesionālās augstākās izglītības studiju programmas, pēc kuru apguves iegūst piektā līmeņa profesionālo kvalifikāciju. Šīs programmas var būt vismaz 40 KP (60 ECTS) apjomā pēc bakalaura grāda ieguves vai vismaz 160 KP (240 ECTS) apjomā pēc vidējās izglītības ieguves. Abos gadījumos jānodrošina, lai programmas kopumā ietvertu praksi ne mazāk kā 26 KP (39 ECTS) apjomā un valsts pārbaudījumu(tai skaitā noslēguma darbu vismaz 10 KP (15 ECTS) apjomā). Ja 240 kredītpunktu programma ietver bakalaura programmas obligāto daļu, tad absolventi iegūst tiesības stāties maģistrantūrā.
Doktorantūra. Kopš 2000.gada 1.janvāra Latvijā tiek piešķirts viena veida zinātniskais grāds – doktors. Uzņemšanai doktorantūrā ir nepieciešams maģistra grāds. Doktora grādu piešķir personai, kura sekmīgi nokārtojusi eksāmenus izraudzītajā zinātnes nozarē un pieredzējuša zinātnieka vadībā izstrādājusi un publiski aizstāvējusi promocijas darbu, kas satur oriģinālu pētījumu rezultātus un sniedz jaunas atziņas attiecīgajā zinātņu nozarē. Promocijas darbu var izstrādāt triju līdz četru gadu laikā doktorantūras studiju ietvaros augstskolā vai arī pēc atbilstoša apjoma patstāvīgu pētījumu veikšanas. Promocijas darbs var būt disertācija, tematiski vienota anonīmi recenzētu publikāciju kopa vai monogrāfija. Doktora grādu piešķir promocijas padome. Doktora grāda piešķiršanu pārrauga MK izveidota Valsts zinātniskā kvalifikācijas komisija.

Kvalitātes nodrošināšana. Saskaņā ar Latvijas normatīvajiem aktiem augstskolas un koledžas var izsniegt valsts atzītus diplomus, ja studijas ir notikušas akreditētā augstskolā vai koledžā, akreditētā studiju programmā un augstskolai ir apstiprināta satversme un koledžai nolikums. Lēmumu par programmas akreditāciju pieņem akreditācijas komisija, bet par augstskolas un koledžas akreditāciju – Augstākās izglītības padome.

Vienam studiju gadam paredzētais apjoms pilna laika studijās ir 40 kredītpunktu. Pārrēķinot Eiropas Kredītu pārneses sistēmas (ECTS) punktos, Latvijas kredītpunktu skaits jāreizina ar 1,5.

Studies in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy professional studies (5 and 6 year studies), are equal to the master degree and the graduates can continue their studies in doctoral level programmes.
Apart from the programmes, leading to bachelor and master degrees, there are other types of professional higher education programmes.
• first-level professional HE (university college) programmes comprise 80–120 (120–180 ECTS) credits and lead to the 4th level professional qualification. These programmes are targeted mainly to the labour market. Yet, the graduates of the first-level programmes can continue their studies in second-level professional programmes.
• second-level professional HE programmes lead to the 5th level professional qualification. Such programmes can comprise either at least 40 (60 ECTS) credits for holders of the bachelor degree or at least 160 (240 ECTS) credits for secondary school leavers. In both cases programmes should include a practical placement of at least 26 (39 ECTS) credits and graduation examinations including thesis >10 (15 ECTS) credits. Graduates of programmes including the 70 (105 ECTS) credits compulsory part of the bachelor programme, have access to master studies.
Doctoral studies
From January 1, 2000 a single type of doctoral (doktors) degree is being awarded in Latvia. The degree of master is required for admission to doctoral studies. Doctoral degree is awarded after public defence of doctoral thesis and successfully passed exams in the chosen scientific discipline. The doctoral thesis has to include original results of the research and new cognitions in the scientific discipline and may be a result of three to four years of doctoral studies at a higher education institution or an equivalent amount of independent research. The doctoral thesis may be a dissertation, assemblage of topically single peer reviewed publications or monograph. The rights to award the doctoral degree are delegated by decision of the Cabinet of Ministers to promotion councils established at the universities. The procedure for awarding the doctoral degree is controlled by the Commission of the Scientific Qualification.

Quality assurance. According to the Latvian legislation, state-recognized degrees/diplomas may be awarded upon completion of an accredited programme in an accredited HE institution holding a state-approved Satversme (By-law) or college statute. Decisions on programme accreditation are taken by the Accreditation Board, while those on institutional accreditation – by the Higher Education Council.
More information:1. On educational system – http://www.izm.lv; http://www.aic.lv; www.eurydice.org2. On status of programmes/institutions: http://www.aiknc.lv1 Latvian credit point is defined as a one-week full-time study workload. An average workload of a full-time study year in most HE programmes is 40 credits. Latvian credit point system is compatible with ECTS. The number of ECTS credits is found by multiplying the number of Latvian credit points by a factor of 1.5.
