Latvian Diaspora

Yes! You can apply to study at universities in Latvia even if you do not speak Latvian. Here is how it works:

•  In Latvia, the key factor is the language of instruction of the study programme, not whether you are a Latvian citizen.
• There are also a wide range of programmes taught fully in English. So if you choose an English-taught programme, you do NOT need Latvian language skills.

If you apply to an English-taught programme, universities usually require:

• Completed secondary education (for Bachelor’s) or relevant degree (for Master’s)
• Proof of English proficiency, B2 level, e.g. IELTS ~5.5-6.5 or TOEFL equivalent

In many cases, if your previous education was in English or your diploma already proves your level, you may not need an extra test.

Latvian language is only required if:

• You apply to a programme taught in Latvian - then you need B2 level Latvian.

2. You don’t need residence permits or visas
3. You can study in English without Latvian

!! BUT: access to state-funded (budget) places are linked to Latvian-taught programmes.
