Originally a banking college, established by the Bank of Latvia, Riga-based BA School has grown significantly achieving higher educational institution status in 1997, providing a full range of courses in finance and business management.
Offering various levels of study during this time more than 12,000 students have graduated, and the college now collaborates with academic and professional industry leaders throughout Latvia and worldwide.
The School’s Leadership wanted an external evaluation providing high-quality assurance, as well as driving continuous performance improvement.
