How to apply in Latvia

The same rules for every institution in Latvia; Riga High Tech University's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 24 Sep 2026.

Deadlines and intakes

Two intakes: autumn (main) and spring (fewer programmes). Study in Latvia gives typical deadlines:

Each university sets its own deadline, often through DreamApply. For non-EU applicants, the realistic deadline is earlier than the published one: add the Academic Information Centre recognition, the PMLP review of up to eight weeks, the embassy appointment and D visa, and aim to hold an offer by April for September.

Language you need

Latvia has a broad English-taught offer, especially in medicine, business and engineering. English requirements are set by each university; check the programme page for the tests and scores it accepts.

Your previous diplomas must be assessed by the Academic Information Centre, Latvia's recognition body, before admission.
