1.2. Characterization of the program

Specialist in Nutrition is a new profession in Latvia. So far in this field worked doctor- dietitian who acquired specialization after graduating Faculty of Medicine and nurse-dietitian who graduated special courses in diet-therapy. Their main place of employment is hospitals. Of late years notably has increased society’s interest concerning healthy food, various fresh food, functional food, food refines and additives and prevention of various diseases in relevance to food. Ever increase in number investigations showing that with faulty nutrition is connected progression of such diseases as: cardio – vascular diseases and oncology. Right these diseases form the major part of mortality in Latvia. Recently notably topical is such a problem as feeding of patients in hospitals, for the moment existing staff (nurse dietitian) can’t completely solve complicated ways of treatment with food – such as parenteral and enteral feeding, individually to consult patients with complicated diagnoses. In hospitals has grown up a necessity to frame a team where creatively work both doctors, doctor assistants and specialists in nutrition. Increases a request for specialists who can educate society (school children, students, associations of patients, medicos) concerning questions of healthy nutrition. Already for the last year feeding at schools is sore point. With its quality malcontent are both school children and their parents. So as to meet the market demands and to educate competitive specialists who manage the recent theories and practice in this field (also including the recent knowledge in nutrition, processes in food technology and public catering) and can use them in their practical work (private practice, hospitals, educational establishments, health centers, largest food product production and feeding establishments) arise a necessity to frame professional Bachelor’s degree study program, accordingly generating highly qualifies respective specialists in the country. Specialist in nutrition is a highly qualified medical person with higher education participating in the patients’ health promotion, education, and processes of treatment and rehabilitation.

Great regard is paid to the students’ individual work, adoption and analysis of scientific literature, performance of sociological research. Task of teachers is to help students to organize independent work, in case of necessity to consult them and give advise. For each subject is worked out detailed course description where containing particular information on topics in classes, requirements and list of obligatory literature.

1.7. System of evaluation

Evaluation system for each specific subject is indicated in the course description. With the evaluation criterion students are introduced at the beginning of each course. Knowledge is evaluated in the ten-point marking system, regarding 5 points (satisfactory) as the lower successful evaluation. Mastering of the study material is evaluated by using the following 6 forms of check-up:

1. Attendance of lectures, seminars and practical classes. 2. Interim check-up – pretest after definite cycle. 3. Theoretical and practical individual project. 4. Examinations after a course of study. 5. Practice account. 6. State examination and defence of Bachelor’s thesis.

1.8. Characterization of students

Total number – 13 Since year 2003 in the professional Bachelor’s degree program “Nutrition” study students whom have graduated secondary or secondary special educational establishments. The number of students increases, giving an opportunity to study on favourable terms.

Matriculation regulations

In Bachelor’s degree program is matriculated person with secondary education who successfully has passed entrance examinations. To be selected applicants are to pass competition. Applicants are to pass the following differential examinations:

5  Biology. Applicant is exempt from this differential examination if he presents SUE Certificate in biology with evaluation from A to D.  Physics. Applicant is exempt from this differential examination if evaluation in physics in his GSEC is successful or in SUE Certificate evaluation in physics is from A to D or he has received successful evaluation after attending eight-month RSU preparatory course.

Applicants must present a passport. All differential examinations are in Latvian language. Knowledge is evaluated on levels from A to F.

Applicants in the Faculty of Rehabilitation are matriculated in compliance with the results of competition comprised by the following amount of evaluation:

 SUE evaluations, prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Science as obligatory for graduates from general secondary education establishments at the corresponding academic year.  SUE evaluation in biology (from A to D level). If the applicant has not passed SUE in biology the evaluation is supplanted with passed by him differential examination (test) in biology.

1.8.1. Poll among students and input

Attitude of students towards the study course is estimated by performing anonymous poll after each course. The received results let to understand that:  Mainly all study courses are estimated as “good”. The manner of teaching is apropos to the wants of students.  In several subjects offered form of training – discussion – is estimated positively. Method of discussion is particularly applicable to solve indistinct and knotty problems that arise in a course of study.  In the course of study occur integration of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills.  Volume of given information during the lectures and practical classes suits the Bachelor’s degree level.

The results of questionnaire are discussed at the Department proceedings.

During the 4th year of study students have practical training at the clinical bases – (18 CP).

1.9. Finances for studies, materially – technical and methodical security

Studies at the RSU Faculty of Rehabilitation Academic School of Nutrition in the Bachelor’s degree program are payment studies. Tuition fee is 800 LVL per year. Allotment of the tuition fee is following: about 80% are wages and state obligatory social insurance, 15% - organization outlay and 5% - acquisition of textbooks, materials and disbursement of services to ensure a teaching process.

University ensures students with completely fitted premises for studies process, library and free access to Internet. Currently at the library are 268 books about the theme of food and nutrition and periodicals – such as “The Journal of Nutrition”, “Problems of Nutrition” and others.

Via RSU “home page” students have access to all the most significant libraries in Latvia, disposable are 30 computers at the Library’s Information center. Lecture and seminar premises are provided with codoscopes and good quality blackboards. On request of teachers auditoriums are equipped with video and other apparatus.

1.10. Qualification and professionalism of the academic staff involved in the Bachelor’s degree study program

Professional Bachelor’s degree study program “Nutrition” is implemented by the highly qualified academic personnel from RSU and, in compliance with agreement, by the specialists from LUA, FVS, FVSSVMDC and HPSA. Readers and lectors are employed at the Latvia’s research establishments and higher educational establishments, all of them have necessary academic background for an academic work to implement the Bachelor’s degree study program.

2. Evaluation of the Bachelor’s degree program from the viewpoints of International recognition and Latvia’s state interests

Topicality and necessity of the professional Bachelor’s degree study program “Nutrition” is determined by the contemporary tendencies in health care. The program’s topicality is intensified by necessity to facilitate perfection and development of nutrition science in Latvia, yet association with the EU could influence more where these questions are very important. Analyzing experience of the EU and candidate countries in educating specialists in nutrition, we conclude that such specialists are modern life’s dictated necessity. At present Latvia’s higher educational establishments doesn’t prepare specialists in nutrition science. Therefore is caused necessity to comprise a study program in Latvia that could provide processing of qualified specialists in nutrition science. Considering the mentioned above, the professional Bachelor’s degree study program ‘Nutrition” at the RSU FR is positively estimated both from international recognition and Latvia’s state interests.

7 2.1. Similitude of the Bachelor’s degree program with programs realized in other countries of the world

The widest possibility to acquire similar education is in Great Britain and USA. So, for example, in the GB is potentiality to acquire education related to nutrition specialties in 22 different educational establishments. Comparatively great possibilities also have our neighbouring countries Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Finland. Must be noticed that in our nearest neighbouring country – Lithuania – such kind of education has been opened at the Vilnius College Faculty of Medicine.

Similitude with the Göteborg University in Sweden Bachelor’s degree study program

At the Göteborg University professional Bachelor’s degree program in toto are received 120 CP in 4 study years. This study program prepares nutrition specialists for hospitals and health centers. Therefore they are called “clinical nutrition specialists”. To basic sciences are given only 10 CP, but 90 CP – to such special courses as gastro-intestinal and kidney diseases, fatty, ……., etc treatment with food. Much attention is paid to parenteral and enteral feeding as well as to food for expectant mothers and children. For Bachelor’s degree thesis are given 20 CP. The greatest difference between both universities is that the RSU Academic School of Nutrition prepares wide profile specialists in nutrition who will need not only clinical knowledge but also knowledge in food chemistry, food technology and in communicative science and pedagogy.

Similitude with the King’s College in Great Britain Bachelor’s degree study program

This study program offers 4-year program where education is organized by unit – cu system. ………………………. At the 1st course students master introduction into nutrition science, physiology, biochemistry, general chemistry, sociology and psychology. At the 2nd course – basics of research work, statistics, microbiology, emzymology and public health and health promotion. At the 3rd course – clinical nutrition doctrine, food quality, endocrinology, food dressings and food refines, parasitology and infectious diseases, immunology, oncology, communication science, basics of food technology, pedagogy. At the 4th course is carried out Bachelor’s thesis and mastered knowledge in management and food politics. This study program has many similarities with program of the RSU RF Academic School of Nutrition. Only is difficult to estimate volume of CP, as in this program is used another unit of evaluation.

Similitude with the Wisconsin University in USA Bachelor’s degree study program

At the Wisconsin University professional Bachelor’s degree program in toto are received 124 – 125 CP. They are divided as follows: basic sciences (physics, chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry, biology, physiology, anatomy, statistics) – from 45 to 46 CP, nutrition science – 79 CP. The utmost number of credit points at the Wisconsin University in professional Bachelor’s degree programs subjects is 8 CP. Similarities in these programs are basic sciences and nutrition science as well as basics of food technology. Difference is that in the Wisconsin University Bachelor’s degree study program less accent is put on mastering the clinical subjects,

8 but slightly more is emphasized ready-to-serve food and food technologies. Such differences could be explained by a fact that the RSU FR nutrition specialists after graduation acquire Bachelor’s degree in health care.

Similitude with the Purdue University Bachelor’s degree study program

Unlike the RSU FR professional Bachelor’s degree study program “Nutrition”, in the Purdue professional Bachelor’s degree study program comparatively much place take up algebra, trigonometry, statistics and computer knowledge. Common – in programs of both universities are included the same basic sciences of medicine. At the Purdue University professional Bachelor’s degree program in toto are received 125 – 127 CP. They are divided as follows: basic sciences (physics, chemistry, biochemistry, food chemistry, anatomy, biology, physiology, mathematics, trigonometric, statistics) – 63 CP, nutrition science – 64 CP. The utmost number of credit points at the Purdue University in professional Bachelor’s degree programs subjects is 5 CP (algebra & geometry).

Similitude with the Michigan University Bachelor’s degree study program

At the Michigan University professional Bachelor’s degree program in toto are received 79 – 84 CP in the basic program where the most attention is paid to nutrition science and food technology. As electives with total CP – 18 are anatomy, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, psychology, etc. The utmost number of credit points at the Michigan University in professional Bachelor’s degree programs subjects is 4 CP.

Similarities in these programs are nutrition science as well as basics of food technology. Difference is that in the Michigan University Bachelor’s degree study program lesser accent is put on mastering clinical subjects and medical basic subjects.

3. Development plan of Bachelor’s degree study program

Every academic year Faculty Board discusses study program. Faculty Board prepares and certifies own faculty’s and linked to it University’s structural units’ activities and development priorities on the strength of work plans approved at the departments. Activities foreseen in the study program development plan:  To perform a poll among students from the RSU RF Academic School of Nutrition concerning the duration of courses incorporated in the study program, timeliness and quality of content with subsequent analysis of results at the Faculty Board and elaboration of recommendations for further improvement of study programs.  To search for the possibilities to increase exchange of students.  To enlarge in number the elective study courses in collaboration with the other RSU faculties.  To proffer to graduates a possibility to continue studies in the Master’s degree program in nutrition science (such intermediary program is approved in year 2005 between RSU, LUA and LU).
