Exchanges of students and teachers
Last Update
16.03.2011

Starting from 2006 a remarkable increase in student numbers spending a semester or full year abroad in Europe, USA or Asia has been observed. The University of Latvia becomes even more attractive as a place for studies and research – the number of incoming exchange students, who choose our Alma Mater as their host university is increasing every year.

The most active exchange takes place in the Erasmus programme – the UL has signed more than 525 cooperation agreements with over 278 universities in 28 European countries. The number of available courses held in English increases every year. Successful experience of academic staff exchange ensures international scope, ideas and innovations in the study environment. We are glad that the faculties are active in involving visiting professors in the study process.
