Latvia 2023/24 - values of student fees

National student fee

In Latvia universities set their own tuition fees, and there are no national minimum or maximum amounts. Officially all students pay fees, but students on state-funded (budget) places do not pay tuition. Not every full-time home student gets such a place.

If you study on a place that is not funded by the state, you (or a company or person who signs a contract with the university) pay the fee. Fees vary a lot: medicine and dentistry are the most expensive. International students, students on non-funded places and students in programmes taught in foreign languages pay more.

Part-time students pay fees, except part-time students of teacher education programmes from the spring semester of 2024.

Universities decide on fee waivers and reductions, based on academic results and social criteria. There is no data on fee amounts or on how many students paid fees in 2023/24.
