Visiting Student - No Student Exchange Agreement

If no Student exchange program exists, you can't apply as an exchange student.

You can apply as a visiting student (non-exchange student, non-graduate student, tuition paying student). International applicants planning to attend separate courses (visiting students) are required to have completed their secondary education and must posses university eligibility in their own country. 

International students who plan to study at the University of Latvia for up to one year (exchange and visiting students) are not required to take entrance examinations. They are accepted at the University on the basis of a signed agreement. The admission decision will be made by the Director of the chosen programme at the Faculty.
