Instructors
The study program "Business Informatics" was developed in 2009 by a group of nine instructors using advanced requirements engineering methods. Most of the members of this group have become instructors of the study program and are still involved in the implementation of the program.
All lecturers are highly qualified, with experience in international cooperation and scientific projects, and are constantly improving their qualifications, which correspond to the courses they lead. Most of the instructors have experience in the industry with over 15 Ph.D. holders being involved in maintaining the courses within the study program. The program includes one academician of the Latvian Academy of Sciences, two LZA correspondents and six experts of the Latvian Science Council. Several lecturers also have experience of working in higher education institutions of other countries. The qualifications of the teaching staff involved in the implementation of the study program "Business Informatics" fully meet the conditions of the study program implementation and the requirements of regulatory acts.
