DOCUMENTS CERTIFYING THE PROVISION FORDOCUMENTS CERTIFYING THE PROVISION FOR CONTINUATION OF HIGHER STUDIESCONTINUATION OF HIGHER STUDIES
The Satversme (constitution) of School of Business Administration Turiba (hereinafter- SBAT) states “ School of Business Administration Turiba guarantees with all its assets that it would provide students the opportunity for continuation of higher studies in a different study programme or the same programme at a different educational institution in case of liquidation of the aforesaid study programme.”
The guarantee should be considered from two aspects - First of all, the stability of the SBAT (quality of the study process, provision of adequate teaching staff, financial stability, possibility of development and enhancement etc.) and secondly the compatibility of the aforesaid programme with other similar programmes (possibility of continuation of studies in case of liquidation of the programme).
The first aspect forecasts the possibility of a situation wherein the study programme is being liquidated and SBAT has to provide for the continuation of studies.
The second aspect provides a review of the compatibility of the study programme with other study programme if the aforesaid programme is liquidated and whether the subjects mastered and the credit points earned would allow for continuation of studies in a different study programme.
The stability of SBAT.SBAT has been in operation since 1994 (initially as “Business Centre Turiba”) and every
following year brought in rapid expansion – new study programmes, accreditation of programmes, different levels of education, increase in the number of adult students and teaching staff, increase in turnover and profit.
The School of Business Administration Turiba is one of the first higher educational institutions in Latvia that was accredited – accreditation No. 002 (accreditation No. 001 was granted to Riga’s Economic School). The number of academic personnel has stabilized over the years and proportion of full time staff has increased. This year 70% of the pedagogical workload is performed by full time teaching staff.
The study contract concluded with the each individual student by the Rector on behalf of SBAT states not only the rights and obligations of SBAT but also its liabilities. SBAT provides the students with the study process for the current study year as well for the whole duration of the programme. The system of monthly payment for studies is also a reasonable guarantee allowing students to pay for studies in instalments.
Evaluating the financial stability and very high level of work organisation of SBAT it should be concluded the there is no threat of liquidation of SBAT in the near future (refer Annexe No. 4.).
Hence the financial stability of SBAT is a guarantee in case of liquidation of the study programme.
Another additional guarantee is the agreement on cooperation concluded on 17 th December 2004 between SBAT and Rezeknes Higher Educational Institution that foresees the continuation of studies at the other institution in case of liquidation of the study programme or the institution (refer Annexe No.10).

COMPLIANCE OF THE PROGRAMME TO PROFESSIONALCOMPLIANCE OF THE PROGRAMME TO PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS FOR LAWYERSTANDARDS FOR LAWYER
The professional standards for Lawyer were approved by the Ministry for Education and Science by the decree No. 649 as of 29th December 2003.
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS (information from http://www.izmpic.gov.lv/Standartu_reg/Jurists.pdf) (refer annexe No.5)
Upon assessment of the programme being implemented by SBAT it could be concluded that the programme fully complies with the professional standards and offers the opportunity to master skills and knowledge necessary to perform the duties and tasks foreseen in the standards.
It should be mentioned that the standards for lawyer are applicable for 2nd level higher professional education as a whole. The SBAT master’s programme plans to enrol students who already have the professional qualification lawyer and therefore basically have all the skills, abilities and knowledge required by the professional standards for lawyer at the time of enrolment. Therefore the study courses in the master’s programme provide the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in those fields where the students have already acquired knowledge foreseen in the professional standards for lawyers. Basically these are fields of law wherein the students wish to specialise. On the other hand students who have completed law science programme that did not foresee the qualification of lawyer would as a result of the programme completed and the master’s programme gain the standard necessary requirements. A comparison of the programme is given in the Table 5. below.

Summary of results of survey conducted among Personnel management specialists regarding demand for students graduating SBAT (details available
at development department of SBAT)
According to the respondents the three most important criteria while recruiting new candidates are experience in the field (4.55 out of 5 points; 5- very important; 1- not important at all), foreign language skills (4.54) and ability to professionally use new technologies. On the other hand non-consequential factors include average diploma mark (2.756), status of the institution (3.093) and studies abroad (3.211). 20 respondents mentioned some additional criteria, topmost among which (13 respondents) was the candidates’ personality.
On the whole SBAT was considered better than average – 6.416 out of 10 by the respondents.
Most of the respondents (91.9%) rejected that notion that they hired people based on the higher educational institution the person graduated. Out of 13 respondents for whom the institution mattered 5 respondents mentioned SBAT’s diploma.
The greater part of the respondents formed an opinion on the standard of the institution based on the performance of their colleagues, alumni of SBAT. Only 28 respondents said that they formed their opinion based on other factors (9 respondents) for e.g. from their family members or friends and (7 respondents) from information in the mass media.
79,5% of respondents did not have a negative experience with a number of graduates from SBAT and thereby forming a negative opinion about the institution. 33 respondents have had such experience and 7 out of them had such an experience with SBAT graduates.
Almost all respondents (97,2%) of those employers where SBAT graduates work were satisfied with the quality of the work.
SUMMARY
Personnel management specialists are more interested in rational and practical factors (experience, foreign languages, ability to work with modern technology) and not emotional and mythical factors (studies abroad, status of the institution, outstanding diploma). SBAT has scored 6.416 out of 10.
On the whole personnel management specialists of enterprises where SBAT graduates work are pleased with their work. However 5 respondents answered that they would not hire candidates just because they graduated SBAT. 7 respondents have indicated that they have had negative experience with a number of SBAT graduates as a result of which have a bad impression of the institution.

COMPARISON OF THE PROGRAMME WITH SIMILARCOMPARISON OF THE PROGRAMME WITH SIMILAR PROGRAMME OF STATE FOUNDED HIGHERPROGRAMME OF STATE FOUNDED HIGHER
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.
Latvian Police Academy (hereinafter LPA) offers the programme „Professional master’s programme ‘law science” (information from www.polak.edu.lv). Programme annexe No.13.Upon comparing both programmes, various similarities between the programmes can be seen. SBAT, as well as the LPA programme foresees in depth studies in some kind of specialisation, however taking into consideration LPA specialisation in police and criminal law sphere, LPA additionally offers also additional specialisation in these spheres. The theoretical courses of LPA also includes subjects such as review of topical issues in International law and European Union law. The LPA also foresees a 6-week practice as well as a psychology course. On the whole evaluating both programmes it can be concluded that they comply with education level standards and the small difference in duration (BAT 1.5-2 years; LPA 1 year) does not allow for any major differences between the programmes.

Two possibilities are offered – obtain 80 or 40 CP master’s programme. 40 CP programme is for those who have acquired previous 2nd level higher education. On the other hand 80 CP programme is for those who have acquired academic bachelor’s degree.
Taking into consideration enrolment requirements and scope of the programme, comparison to the 40CP master’s programme would be most appropriate.

Comparing this programme to the SBAT offered law science master’s programme, it should be concluded that both similarities and differences could be observed.
Similarities are- Scope of study programme (taking into consideration that SBAT programme offers practice) (Concordia University – 40 CP, SBAT – 60 or 80 CP),
the evaluation of credit points of study courses and their scope.Requirements regarding previous education for the study programme
Differences - Concordia Audentes University programme is more orientated towards international law and in this sense is very similar to the programme offered by SBAT to those students who have chosen the optional study courses block connected with international law.- Concordia Audientes University programme includes very few general education (non-profile (law) science) subjects. On the other hand SBAT has include these subjects in the programme to comply with the cabinet of ministers regulations on 2nd level higher professional education state standards and professional standards of lawyer.- a similar situation also arises with regards to practice that is included in the SBAT programme, and not included in the Concordia Audientes University programme. Practice for professional master’s programme is a mandatory requirement in accordance with the Latvian legislation.
AMSTERDAM LAW SCHOOL AND LUND UNIVERSITY PROGRAMME AND ITS COMPARISON WITH SBAT PROGRAMME
Amsterdam law school (information from www.jur.ava.nl).
Several law masters’ programme (LL.M) are being offered that differ according to the specialisation. The duration of the programme foreseen is 1 year (from September to May) divided into three terms. The first term (September, October) concentrates on general subjects that are common for several LL.M programmes. The second term (November, December) foresees introductory study courses in each of the programmes. The third period is totally dedicated to specialisation, wherein students get in depth education in their speciality as well as conduct extensive research including the master’s paper.

This programme is offered by the Faculty of law of Lund’s University in collaboration with R.Valenberg Human rights and humanitarian law institute. The duration of the programme is – 1,5 years, that consists of three 20 week semesters.
1.semester offers two mandatory coursesInternational law and organisationsHuman rights and humanitarian law
2.semester offers optional courses (students can choose 4 subjects))Refugee law (5 weeks)Humanitarian law (5 weeks)Personal and public law, including European convention (5 weeks)Economic, social and cultural rights and rights to development (5 weeks)Problems concerning implementation of human rights (5 weeks)Human rights in the European Union (5 weeks)Minority and local inhabitants rights (5 weeks)Industrial property law (5 weeks)Copyrights (5 weeks)
3.semester is dedicated to compiling the master’s paper in human rights or humanitarian law or any other related branch in the field of public law.
Comparing the law master’s programmes offered by both higher education institutions and the SBAT programme it can be concluded that in this case there are considerable similarities and differences.
The first common point is that the programmes are similar in their organisation – all three programmes have been planned in three semesters. It is the same with Lund’s University. The first semester at Lund’s University and SBAT offers mandatory courses and the second semester optional courses. Students compile their master’s paper during the third semester (SBAT programme – appear for state examination that includes the defence of master’s paper as well as undergo practice).
A lot of study courses and their scope are similar. A big role in all the programmes has been given to international law courses. The Lund’s University programme offers all study courses in international law, which is understandable given the narrow scope of speciality of their master’s programme. The Amsterdam Law School has various disciplines orientated on international law. The SBAT programme includes both national law study courses as well as international (incl. Human rights implementation mechanisms, development of international private under the influence of globalisation, international law practice, international arbitration, international legal cooperation, EC competition law, Jurisdiction of international courts)
MYKOLAS ROMERIS UNIVERSITY (VILNIUS, LITHUANIA) FACULTY OF LAW MASTER’S PROGRAMME IN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW AND
ITS COMPARISON TO THE SBAT STUDY PROGRAMME.
Information from www.mruni.ltRefer for full MRU programme in annexe No.14.The duration of the above mentioned programme is 1.5 years, which matches with the SBAT programme for those students, who have completed a 4 year bachelor level programme identical to as it is in MRU. As can be seen from the MRU programme, similar to SBAT great emphasis is laid on international law and national law study courses. On the contrary to SBAT, the MRU programme does not foresee practice, however at the same a number of study courses match- Research work, Human rights, municipal law. The MRU programme also foresees optional courses similar to the SBAT programme.
The aims of the programmes to develop high level lawyers, who are competitive on the local as well as the international scale is also similar.
One of the differences that should be mentioned is that the Amsterdam Law school programme is based on integrated module education, which is not planned to be implemented at SBAT at present. The same difference can be seen with the Concordia Audientes International university programme. All foreign programmes have less general educational (non-profile (law) science) subjects and do not
12
have practice included. On the other hand as mentioned before these subjects have been included in the SBAT programme to meet with requirements of Cabinet of Minister’s regulations on 2nd level higher professional education standards and professional standards for lawyers.
Therefore the programme being accredited completely complies with the 2nd level higher professional education standards as well as professional standards for lawyer, which further guarantees its stability. The development of the programme is approved by its wide external cooperation and it does not radically differ from study programmes being implemented in higher educational establishments in other countries.

ORGANISATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME,ORGANISATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME, COMPLIANCE OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME PLAN TO THECOMPLIANCE OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME PLAN TO THE
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENTAIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENTThe study programme was designed based on the professional qualification: Lawyer - 24202.
It has been designed as a 2nd level higher professional education programme upon completion of which students can further continue studies in doctoral programmes.
The organisation of the study programme is based on several principles – sequence and coherence, comprehensiveness, balance of mandatory and optional courses and link between theory and practice. Parallel to legal subjects, non-legal subjects that are necessary for the work of lawyers in commercial structures (quality management systems, Economic principles and its analysis etc.) have been included in our study programme.
The following changes have been made to the programme since the programme was accredited in 2004:
1) The total credit points have been changed from 66 to 60 and 80CP to suit the 1.5 and 2 year duration.
2) In order to improve the programme, several changes have been made to the content – study courses such as Work with legal texts, Court speech, Education policy, Political processes and
15
its analysis have been removed and a new study course Forecasting and strategic management has been included and study courses European community competition law and Jurisdiction of International courts have been transferred from the optional block to mandatory block, thereby ensuring the necessary acquisition of knowledge to meet the professional standard requirements for knowledge of international law..
3) The scope of the specialisation course has been increased from 11 CP to 12CP.
SBAT has concluded contracts with regional administrative court, prosecutors office, ministry of justice, ministry of regional development and municipal affairs, commercial register and the state police on the organisation of practice in order to successful implementation of the programme.A Socrates/ Erasmus contract has been concluded with Mikolo Romieris University Vilnius to provide for student exchange as well as there is the opportunity of inviting guest lecturers under the Fullbright Scholarship programme.
PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STUDYPRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAMMEPROGRAMME
The study programme has been implemented in compliance with all the normative enactments of the Republic of Latvia. A bigger emphasis is laid on the provision of study courses and methodological support material. Currently most of the study subjects are fully provided with adequate methodological material. Further enhancement of the study material is planned.
SBAT publishing house regularly publishes books related to programmes implemented at SBAT including legal literature. The authors are academic staff of SBAAT as well as teachers from outside. SBAT library is equipped with sufficient amount of books to ensure that each and every student has access to basic literature in his/her subject.
Practical lessons are widely used as a part of the study process, especially a specially equipped courtroom that helps in the study process. Practical tasks have to be carried out in general subjects of the field as well as in speciality subjects as foreseen.
SBAT academic staff are involved actively in research work under an internal grant and students can actively participate in it too. Two projects “ Legal implementation of E- commerce” and “Organisation’s Security” were carried out in 2004/2005 by the faculty of law and the working committee included academic staff as well as students. Academic staff were also involved in international projects – guest lectures were conducted in Lithuania by J.Načisčionis and D.Rone under the Erasmus mobility programme and I. Bergs is involved in a Leonardo da Vinci programme with Turkish partners.
As the study programme is already being implemented an analysis of strengths and weaknesses was carried out
TEACHING METHODS USEDTEACHING METHODS USEDLectures as a teaching method are used predominantly for subjects, which offer theoretical
knowledge and group work, or discussions are not necessary for the post graduate students.Seminars as a teaching method are used for subjects where the postgraduate students have a
better opportunity to carry out individual research. Postgraduate students can present and defend their opinion during seminars. For example, Division of Power, Comparative Constitutional Law etc.Group work as a teaching method is used on occasions when teamwork is necessary to understand the theoretical essence of the subject. For example practical work and case studies are used all law subjects.
At the end of the study year a scientific conference for postgraduate students is held. The students present and defend their individual research projects at this conference.
EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE EDUCATION ACQUIREDEVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE EDUCATION ACQUIREDThe basic principles for evaluating the education acquired in the study programme are:
Principle of summing positive achievements; Principle of compulsory examination; Principle of open and transparent evaluation system; Principle of variety of evaluation forms; Principle of accessibility to examinations.
16
In order to ensure that students are informed about the requirements of the final examinations of the study courses, practice programmes, defence of practice work and practice report requirements:
the conditions, requirements and questions are published on the local area network of SBAT and are accessible to all students;
the examination terms and requirements are explained to the students during the first lesson itself;
each student upon commencement of studies is provided with an student’s handbook that contains all the documents regulating studies at SBAT (Study regulations, examination regulations, regulations on the compilation and defence of study papers, requirements for layout of individual papers compiled by students, practice regulations etc.) as well as description of the study programme with a list of regular tests and examinations that are to be passed.
The state examination, which includes the defence of master’s paper, is evaluated by a 10-point grade system.
The evaluation criteria for defence of master’s paper is as follows: systemisation, consolidation and development of theoretical knowledge and experience; independent use of literature and information resources incl. those in foreign languages; theoretical concepts of the task and practical skills aimed at solving the problem which would
include a variety of complex conclusions and innovative elements; analysis of a topical business problem; practical suggestions and recommendations for solving the issue; independent research skills and promotion and consolidation of skills necessary for the
defence of practical results obtained.
The student is awarded a Master’s degree upon successful completion of the study programme, and State Examination with a grade of at least 5 (average) points.
TYPES AND PROCEDURE OF EXAMINATIONS
The main form of evaluation of the programme are exams and tests, which need to be passed at the end of each study course, and defence of master’s paper in the presence of a committee. The results of the examination are evaluated in a 10-point grade system in accordance with the decree No. 208 of the ministry of education and science as of 14th April 1998 “ Unified evaluation system for examination results”. The examination is conducted by the teaching staff or any other staff authorised by the head of the department. Tests are evaluated as “passed” or “failed” with the mark in brackets in the 10-point grade system. Tests are conducted by the respective teaching staff. Other than the final examination, regular tests – tests, presentations at seminars, reports, research papers, simulations of court trials etc. - are also foreseen for each study course. Practice work is evaluated as “passed” or “failed”. The evaluation of practice work foreseen in the master’s programme is carried out by the committee for preliminary defence of master’s paper. Refer Study regulations (annexe No.15), Examination regulations (annexe No.16) and Practice regulations (annexe No.17)
STUDENTSSTUDENTS
249 students studied in the programme as on 1st July, taking into consideration that the first graduation was in January 2005. At present there are 298 students.
The figures below reflect the number of students enrolled in 1st study year starting from the date of implementation of the programme, present number of students studying and also number of students who have graduated over the years.
Figure 1. Number of students enrolled
17
Figure 2. Number of students graduated
As can be seen from the figures, the number of students enrolled has been on the rise steadily, however, even when the duration of the programme is only 1.5 years, 25-30% of the students dropped out as a great part of the students did not complete their studies because they were unable to compile and defend their master's paper on time
Student survey and its results.
SBAT regularly conducts student surveys about the study courses as well as the programme as a whole. The study course surveys are aimed at getting feedback about the following: whether the course was understandable; whether the subjects are repeated; whether the methodical materials and handouts are sufficient; whether the teaching style is apt. The results of the survey are analysed, summarised and discussed at department meetings and measures are taken to correct these shortcomings.
The results of the survey of law science programme students can be seen in annexe No.18. As can be seen on the whole students are satisfied with the quality of the studies and its provision; they are also satisfied with the implementation of the study programme - quality of the teachers, practice and other indicators related to the programme.
Survey of alumni and its results
SBAT also regularly conducts a survey among alumni of the programme. The survey is aimed at improving the study programme by taking into consideration the possibility of alumni to work in the field of speciality, shortcomings encountered by the alumni in knowledge, methods and adaptability of the programme in day-to-day work. The results of the alumni survey can be seen in the following figures.

The results obtained and its analysis show that the alumni are satisfied with the quality of studies as a whole and that the programme meets the demands of the labour market, which is further emphasized by the fact that a greater part of the alumni work in the field of their speciality and have found a better job upon graduation from SBAT.
Involvement of students in the improvement of the study process
Apart from student surveys and evaluation of the results, students are actively involved in the functioning of the students’ self-government, a body that represents their interests with regards to the management and academic staff of SBAT. The members of the student body are representatives of the SBAT senate and are actively involved in the academic process at SBAT. Furthermore two law faculty students are members of the law faculty council and are actively involved in the improvement of the study process and the programme itself.

ACADEMIC PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE STUDYACADEMIC PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN THE STUDY PROCESSPROCESS
The academic personnel of SBAT have been evolving since 1994. As in other institutions SBAT has also a high staff turnover, however this has stabilised over the past few years and already 67% of the pedagogical workload is performed by permanent members of staff.
The academic staff of SBAT are elected by SBAT senate in accordance with the SBAT regulations and regulations on election of academic staff. Before election SBAT publicly announces the vacancy. The Senate elects the academic personnel in a closed sitting and the election process and the results are minuted. Upon election SBAT concludes a labour contract with the respective academic personnel.
SBAT devotes great attention to the further qualification of its academic personnel and their professional training. SBAT has designed and implemented a further training policy for its academic personnel. The further training and education system designed by SBAT includes:interviews and consultations during department meetings and day- to -day work;methodological seminars for staff of different departments;courses and seminars in the field of specialisation;courses aimed at furthering professional competence;master’s and doctoral studies.
Further studies aimed at improving the professional qualification of permanent academic personnel are paid by SBAT, and master’s and doctoral studies are financed by loans. The loans are written off after a particular number of years of service at SBAT. The academic personnel regularly participate in scientific conferences, attend courses and seminars in their particular field, thereby exchanging their experiences and furthering their knowledge on topical issues and closing the gap between theory and practice. With the increase in international cooperation academic staff regularly read lectures as visiting lecturers in establishments abroad. Starting from spring 2006, staff would have the opportunity to undergo internship at the Ministry for Justice, and improve their professional skills, as well as carry out research work necessary for the ministry. The cooperation treaty can be seen in Annexe No. 9. The practitioners among academic staff improve and perfect their knowledge by participating in seminars organised among different departments. Lessons of academic staff are often attended and observed by other members and all the shortcomings are discussed. SBAT regularly conducts student surveys on the assessment of performance of academic staff and its results are used to improve the competence of the staff.
On the whole 24 academic personnel are involved in the implementation of the programme (refer Table 8),

Problems Concerning Municipal Law, Administrative Procedure Practice
The number of academic personnel involved in the programme can increase during the course of implementation of the programme if more number of students opt for optional courses and there is a necessity to involve more personnel for a particular course (in particular language courses) The academic staff involved in the implementation of the programme can be classified in two ways with regards to their professional qualification and whether or not they are full time staff of SBAT.At present considering the 24 academic personnel involved in the study process with regards to first criteria, it can be seen that 16 are full time staff members (Which is 12% more than during the previous accreditation period) and 8 are part time staff. On the whole 67% of the staff involved are full time staff of SBAT.
24
The academic staffs’ qualification indicator on the other hand can be described as follows: out of 24 staff 9 have doctor’s degree (38%, which is 9% more in comparison to previous accreditation period, 15 have master’s degree (62%), out of which 3 (13%) are undergoing doctoral studies.
Comparing the indicators for the previous accreditation results it must be stressed that they have improved considerably and the proportion of full time staff considerably exceeds the Cabinet of Ministers requirements. The number of staff with doctor’s degree involved has also improved, although it has to be improved further and steps are being taken to improve it. The new progressive remuneration system is an incentive for teachers without doctor degrees and the loan policy of SBAT that finances doctoral studies with the loans being written off after a particular period of service is also an additional motivation.
Scientific activity and research conducted by the academic staff
The academic personnel of SBAT take active participation in scientific and research work. In order to promote scientific work in SBAT and Latvia, SBAT organises annual international scientific research conferences:2005 conference “Public relations: Risks, benefits and losses”2004 conference “Business prospects, problems and solutions concerning globalisation”.2003 conference “Development of sustainable tourism: trends, experience, prospects”.2002 conference "Entrepreneurship and its legal environment".2001 conference "Transformation of economic and social relations: processes, trends, results ".2000 conference “Integration of tourism practice, education and research: experience and
assessment”.1999 conference ”Business environment: legal basis and quality”.1998 conference "Competitiveness and education of Latvian entrepreneurs ".At present in cooperation with Mykolas Romeris University Vilnius, LR Ministry for Justice and Lawyer’s office Liepa, Skopiņa un Borenius SBAT is organising a conference in 2006 “Property, encumbrances on property: problems, solutions and opportunities”.
Research work of the academic staff is promoted and actively supported. Academic staff present their papers in the international conference organised by SBAT as well as participate in other conferences in Latvia and abroad. Participation in these conferences and publication of the papers in proceedings of conferences is financed by SBAT. Each year the scientific research plan is approved by the decree of the rector. SBAT also has an internal grant system. The Faculty of Law carried out two projects under this grant in 2004: “Legal regulation of E-commerce” and “ Organisations’ Security”. Work on the implementation of the project „Online Distance Learning Module in European Union Basic Law” under the Leonardo da Vinci programme will be undertaken in spring 2006.The scientific research and innovations carried out in connection with the master’s law science programme can be seen with the previous research of academic staff. The papers published during the past three years of academic staff connected with the implementation of the programme can be seen in the following table; detailed information is given in the CV’s of academic staff attached to the accreditation papers.
All the study courses in the programme can be broken down into two groups: law subjects and general subjects.

QUALITY MANAGEMENTQUALITY MANAGEMENT
A quality management system has been designed to control the quality of functioning of SBAT that ensures the documentary regulation of the study process and the update of this documentation. In order to ensure a more effective implementation and management of process, SBAT has an internal audit system that audits each and every structural unit once every year.
In order to constantly ensure the quality of the lessons the head of the department and programme directors attend lessons of other teachers. The points observed during such visits are discussed with the teacher.
The students are surveyed at the end of each study course on the content and methodology used. Have all the points mentioned in the programme been covered during the course? Do the subjects repeat? Was the teaching method understandable? Were the visual aids and handouts sufficient? How well was the study course organised? What should the teacher change in his teaching style?

DESCRIPTION OF THE MATERIAL BASE REQUIRED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAMME
Financial conditionThe financial condition of SBAT is very stable. The foundation capital, fixed assets, profit and investments are much bigger than all of the other private higher educational institutions put together. Each and every year since its establishment SBAT has always made a profit. The main reason is the successful economic activities of SBAT as well as thoroughly planned and goal orientated activity in the sphere of education. All the profit gained till the year 2000 was reinvested in the development of SBAT (material and intellectual resources), but since 2000 a part of the profit was paid out as dividends to the founders. However the rest of the profit was invested in the development of SBAT.
The financial plan for each year is determined by the SBAT budget. Revenues include tuition fee for higher education, participation fee for seminars, hotel services and other economic activities. Expenditures are planned proportional to the revenue estimated and include mainly remuneration for the staff, social insurance payments, maintenance costs, utility costs, material for the study process, purchase of modern technology as well as reconstruction and repairs of premises.
The net turnover for the financial year 2004/2005 was Ls 3,964,331 and the gross profit was Ls 1,896,943 and the net profit after payment of taxes was 1,297,029 Ls. The foundation capital is Ls 1 500 000 as of 30.06.2005, and undivided profit as of 30.06.2005 is 1,297,029 Ls, total foundation capital – Ls 4,500,558. The financial review of SBAT for the period 01.07.2004 till 30.06.2005 can be seen in Annexe No.4.
