As the students are getting ready for the Spring semester to start, we have come closer to the next international students’ Orientation Week organised by our International Department. The online event allows the new students to participate from their homes, airports and new rooms in Riga.
During the three-day event the new international students will learn more about the university and the country they have chosen for their studies - study process, healthcare, safety, immigration, student life and organisations. Incoming Erasmus+ students will attend an information session outlining important issues for exchange students. Find the full programme below.
The Orientation Week is organised with the aim of helping the students from different countries and education systems learn more about the studies here in Latvia and at RSU and to ease the first steps of living in a new country.
