University of Latvia
Established in 1919, the University of Latvia (Latvijas Universitate) has graduated most of Latvia's leaders and important political, scientific, and cultural heroes. With almost 30,000 students, the university is the premier institution of higher education in Riga. Though established on the site of the former Riga Polytechnic, the University of Latvia was the first traditional university in the history of Latvia.
Today, the university consists of 13 faculties (Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, Economics and Management, Education and Psychology, Geography and Earth Sciences, History and Philosophy, Law, Medicine, Modern Languages, Philology, Social Sciences, and Theology) as well as the Riga Graduate School of Law, and offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels of study. In addition to the university's various departments, the University of Latvia offers most of the resources traditionally associated with accredited universities, including several libraries, research facilities, study centers, a language school, and a career centre. The University of Latvia's main library is the biggest university library in Latvia.
In addition to cooperating with 59 universities in 26 countries and participating in the Socrates exchange programme, the University of Latvia offers several programmes in English, including:
Baltic Sea Region Studies Master's Degree Programme
Medical Doctor Higher professional study program
MBA in International Business
MS in Computer Science
MA in European Studies
For more information on application and courses of study, please refer to the university's official website.

I have 5 ielts score. Is my this ielts score available for latvian universties
ReplyAs a local, I strongly advise against choosing Modern Languages and Business studies Bachelor program in LU. They state that the program is fit for international students but all of the foreigners that started the program with us have left long ago. There are also some obligatory classes that require such level of Latvian, that even the natives struggle to pass. English skills of most lecturers are quite terrible (one of them constantly confused 'wallet' with 'velvet' and wrote 'dicriase' instead of 'decrease'). What they don't say is that this program is basically the main cash cow of the entire faculty- the money we pay is the main income for them. That's why only 5 students out of 55 get budget seats. Don't fall for it, pick something else.
ReplyCan u give me information of university in Latvia(without IELTS) about grands and how to pass what kind of things need
ReplyThe Latvians are stuck up pieces of jealous bitches that hate the foreigners despite it being us that pretty much financially support their depressing excuse of a country. The hierarchy here is ridicilous; like someone already said before me, if they don't like you, you're fucked. I could go on and on about the negatives of both Riga Stadins University, which I'm currently attending, and Latvia. Pretty much everything except for the low living costs and the picturesque scenery of the old town at night time sucks dick.

ReplyGuys, These are only good universities if you are white and look rich. The teachers can do anything to you unchecked and if they don't like you can really screw you and they do. Go to Norway or Sweden we (browns) are just here because we have to be but its like a prison time where we literally pay for our laziness in high school.
