Questions on
your mind?
A starting point for understanding your study journey
What are the basic requirements to study abroad?
You will usually need a completed application, your previous education certificates and academic transcripts, identification, and evidence of proficiency in the teaching language. Some applications also require a motivation letter, references or an interview.
Can I study in Europe in English?
Yes. Universities across Europe, including Latvia, offer degrees taught in English. You will normally need to demonstrate sufficient English proficiency through an accepted test or another form of evidence, such as previous studies in English.
Can I study abroad for free or at a low cost?
Some European public universities offer degrees with no tuition fees or relatively low fees. Eligibility can depend on your nationality, study level and chosen institution. You should still budget for accommodation, living expenses, travel and other study-related costs.
How do I choose a university or study destination?
Start with your preferred subject, study language and budget. Then compare entry requirements, course content, tuition fees, accommodation and everyday life in each destination. These practical considerations can help you find options that suit your goals.
How do I start planning my studies abroad?
Decide what you would like to study and which qualification you want to pursue. Gather your education documents and begin researching destinations, costs and application deadlines. Starting early gives you time to prepare documents, arrange language tests and explore funding options.
