Basic information on the higher education institution/ college and its strategic development directions, including the following information: RISEBA University of Applied Sciences (hereinafter – RISEBA) is a privately owned university with over 27 years of experience offering competitive education and training for high-level professionals and executives in the business and creative industries to work in an international environment. The university was established in 1992. The headquarters of the university is located in Riga and it has a branch in Daugavpils, where it provides lifelong learning courses. Secondary vocational education can be acquired at RISEBA Vocational Secondary School “Victoria”. RISEBA is accredited with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Latvia and has also received the international quality accreditation of the Central and East European Management Development Association (CEEMAN). RISEBA is the only Baltic university level body that has received two EPAS accreditations from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). The three faculties of RISEBA – Faculty of Business and Economics, Faculty of Media and Communication, and Faculty of Architecture and Design – offer from bachelor's to doctoral level education, offering full-time, part-time and distance learning in Latvian, English and Russian. Since 2013, RISEBA has been running the RISEBA Creative Business Incubator, which offers students the opportunity to develop their business, creative and social entrepreneurship ideas. In 2019, along with the rapidly changing external environment, RISEBA formulated a new mission, vision and values. RISEBA mission Our ultimate purpose is to develop socially responsible entrepreneurs, leaders, managers and professionals for Latvian and international businesses and society through being a learning community that strives to be an international centre of expertise in the areas of business, art and technology by providing high-quality, multidisciplinary, student-centred, interactive, research and innovation driven undergraduate, graduate, executive education and lifelong learning. RISEBA Vision We see ourselves as a sustainable and internationally recognised university of business, arts and technology – an entrepreneurial university that combines the capability to serve a wide variety of individual characteristics and needs for education and professional development through the use of distinctive teaching methods and innovative approaches that integrate the unique interdisciplinary paradigm “business meets art” and ultimately serve as a hub for networking of professionals in business and creative industries. RISEBA values Openness - We work and operate in an open-minded and morally healthy environment, based on mutual trust and respect. We promote openness to innovations and creativity with an entrepreneurial spirit and attitude. Service excellence - We focus on excellence of service and high quality performance in all our activities. 4 Diversity - We ensure a diverse, inclusive and multicultural environment by offering various study programmes, forms of study and training in different languages. Dialogue - We continuously cooperate and share knowledge and experience among various stakeholders, including business and professional community,our students, alumni, faculty, staff, and other interested groups. Lifelong learning - We promote the continuous personal and professional development of our students and partners as well as ourselves. Ethics and social responsibility - We act as a socially responsible organization and develop socially responsible leaders and professionals. Impact - We act in order to make a positive impact on the rapid and sustainable development of society. Five study directions are implemented at RISEBA. The largest study direction with 13 study programmes is “Management, Administration and Real Estate Management”, since historically business management programmes have been in the portfolio of the university since its foundation. In this study direction, there are study programmes from the academic bachelor’s level up to the doctoral level. With the development of creative, technical and economic study programmes, gradually the study programmes of the university have become more differentiated. Since 2008 there is the “Information and Communication Science” study direction with two study programmes; it was followed by “Arts” study direction with three study programmes, “Architecture and Construction” with two study programmes and “Economics” with three study programmes (see Figure 1.1). Figure 1.1 Ratio of RISEBA students by study direction Annex 1 summarizes the study directions and the number of study programmes and students in it. In 1999, a RISEBA branch was opened in Daugavpils, 47 Mihoelsa Street, which acquired the status of a branch in 2002. During these years, about 2000 students have graduated from Daugavpils branch, several European Union projects were implemented
