The Univeristy of Latvia adopts you into the Erasmus program where you have a 'buddy' who shows you around the city, and helps you with anything you need. -Bryan Larsen, Fall 2005

The Heart of the Baltics

Latvia has made a successful and fascinating transition from Soviet Republic to member of NATO and the EU.

The University of Latvia, the largest university in the Baltic States, is located in the historical capital of Riga (founded in 1201). With its medieval architecture and cobble stone streets, extravagant Art Nouveau buildings and manicured 19th-century parks, the city has plenty to offer for all tastes. Programs in English at the University of Latvia include a Baltic Studies program, Economics and Management courses, and Latvian and Russian language courses (Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced levels).
