Studying in Latvia
 

The higher education institutions in Latvia have excellent infrastructure. One of the major advantages of studying in Latvia is the low cost of living, which is usually a fraction of what it is in Western Europe. Besides, the universities in the country are well known for producing brilliant IT and engineering professionals.

Most of the institutions of higher education are located in the capital Riga, which is an attractive, lively, cosmopolitan city and far less expensive than its European counterparts. There is a regular quality assessment of the education system and this means that there is always a great emphasis on quality education. One of the main characteristics of the Latvian education system is that all the recognized institutions in the country are autonomous, which means that they have the freedom to draft their own policies and conduct research in their areas of interest.
