Admission requirements and documents
Use the exact university and intake rules. RSU evaluates academic records; the University of Latvia also publishes interview and SAT conditions. Confirm the route for your citizenship, residence and country of secondary education separately.
Tuition fees and total costs
RSU lists application and registration administration charges separately from tuition. Include both in your first-year budget, alongside accommodation, travel and insurance.
Use the programme-specific fee year and written offer. The budget planner adds editable living costs, travel, setup costs and contingency; those assumptions are not university quotations.
What to confirm with the university
- How will my A-level and GCSE subjects be assessed?
- Are any interviews or additional qualification checks required?
- What is the payment timetable after an offer?
