2026/27 · Priced for this course · All students — no separate international rate

The University of Latvia publishes one tuition figure for this programme with no separate international rate — its own lu.lv programme page prints the same number with no citizenship qualifier — so this is recorded as all-students rather than as an overseas fee. On top of it, applicants from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland pay a non-refundable €170 application fee and a one-off €500 deposit towards possible immigration expenses, payable in full with the first full-year fee on arrival and returned on request after graduation. Caveat worth knowing about the source: apply.lu.lv personalises deadlines and requirements to the visitor’s citizenship (it guessed a non-EU citizenship when this page was archived), so a reader should re-check the figure against their own citizenship selection.

  • TOEFL iBT, 4 overallThe University publishes two TOEFL iBT bars on the same line, on two different scales: at least 80 for a test taken on or before 21 January 2026, or a minimum score of 4 for a test taken after that date (the new TOEFL band scale). The 4 is the figure that applies to any test sat now.
  • IELTS, 6 overallPrinted as "at least score 6.00"; the page does not state which IELTS module or any per-section minimum.
  • PTE Academic, 55 overall

Admissions tests

  • SAT requiredRequired of every applicant who completed secondary education outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland — the international case — hence required: true. The bar is a total score of at least 1200. Applicants schooled inside the EU/EEA/Switzerland are not asked for it.
Source

Academic offer

For non-EU/EEA/Swiss applicants: a general secondary school diploma; English language proficiency; a Mathematics grade of at least 8 on Latvia’s 10-point scale (computer science may substitute if no mathematics grade is on the certificate); an average grade across all subjects of at least 6 on that scale, with every grade passing (at least 4); and an SAT total of at least 1200 for anyone whose secondary education was completed outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland. EU/EEA/Swiss applicants face a lower Mathematics bar of 4 on the same scale.

The only one of these four programmes where the page states that EU/EEA/Swiss citizens, EU long-term residents and Ukrainian civilians holding temporary protection in Latvia can compete for a state-funded (free) study place, with a 5 July 2026 deadline. That route is not open to other non-EU applicants, who pay the fee recorded here.

UL publishes this figure without stating which year it applies to, so it may already be out of date. Treat it as a starting point and check the course page for the current rate. Flag it below if you know it has changed.

Taught in Riga; graduates receive two awards, one from the University of Lincoln and one from the University of Latvia. Unlike the other three programmes, this page prints no application round, no start date and no academic year anywhere, so the fee is recorded as undated and intakes/deadline are left null rather than borrowed from a sibling page.

Entry requirementsEnglish · tests · grades · interview

English language

  • IELTS Academic, 6 overall, minimum score of 5.5 in each section
  • TOEFL iBT, 79 overall, at least 18 points in the reading section, 17 points in the listening section, 20 points in the speaking section and 20 points in the writing section
  • PTE Academic, 65 overall, at least 59 points in each of the sectionsRead this alongside the caveat on the other three University of Latvia entries: this dual-award page carries TWO different English lists. The programme-specific one inside "Entry qualification" (recorded here) is stricter than the generic "Language requirements" block further down the same page, which states only TOEFL iBT 80 / IELTS 6.00 / PTE Academic 55. The stricter, programme-specific figures are the ones recorded, because they are the ones published for this degree.

Accommodation

€114–€291per month

the University of Latvia’s own two student hostels — Krišjāņa Valdemāra 161 and "Prima" — priced per person per month by room type. The figures recorded are the rates the table says apply from 1 July 2026; the same table also prints the lower rates that applied before that date, and the tiers below use the current ones.

  • Krišjāņa Valdemāra 161 — Quadruple room€114
  • Krišjāņa Valdemāra 161 — Triple room€142–€161
  • Krišjāņa Valdemāra 161 — Double room€152–€181
  • "Prima" — Double room€202
  • Krišjāņa Valdemāra 161 — Single room€220–€272
  • "Prima" — Single room€291

Minimum long-term stay at "Prima" is 2 months. The fee or deposit is paid on arrival at the hostel, by card only. International degree students may apply only after acceptance; students of other universities may apply year-round, but only for "Prima". The Quadruple room at Krišjāņa Valdemāra 161 is the one rate the table does not restate for the post-1-July-2026 period, so €114 is carried through as published.

Published by the university itself, not a live listings price. Actual cost depends on room type, availability and when you apply.
