Everything You Need to Know About RSU Open Days

Choosing the right university can be quite overwhelming. Not only do you have to decide on the general field you want to study and narrow it down to specific subjects you're interested in, but you also have to decide on the particular programme, university, city and maybe even the country where you want to study.

To help you make that decision, the Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) International Department (ID) regularily organises Open Days. These events are intended to give you the opportunity to visit the university, see the buildings and lecture halls, talk to faculty members and to other students to get a feeling for what studying at RSU might be like. As on-site visits are not possible due to the current epidemiological safety measures, RSU ID has adapted and is since March 2020 organising monthly Open Days online.

Anyone who is interested in any of the study programmes offered at RSU can join a Zoom session to hear more about each programme, learn more about the application procedure and ask questions about how the study process is organised. Current RSU students are happy to talk about their experience and can share tips for how to manage the move to a new country and starting studying at RSU.

The event consists of three parts:

1. a presentation by the International Admissions Office,
2. a speech by international students at RSU about their experience of studying and living in Riga,
3. a Q&A during which anyone can ask anything related to studying at RSU.

Open Days focuses on providing information and visual material of RSU’s study bases, the university’s undergraduate and post-graduate study programmes and information about our academic requirements and application process. The whole event lasts for about 1,5-2 hours and approximately 30 participants usually attend each session.

Attending our Open Days online is a great way of getting to know the university and meet students and staff from the comfort of your home. You'll be able to ask questions and receive advice from RSU staff and students, so that you can leave the event with a good picture of what life at the university is like!

The next Open Day will take place on 28 May.
