Sharing its borders with Estonia, Lithuania, Russia and Belarus, Latvia is located in the northeastern part of Europe. It has an estimated population of 2.4 million people. Latvia is also a very good destination for pursuing higher education as the government pays lots of importance in developing tertiary education in the country.
However establishment of private higher educational institutes are also encouraged in the country.
The universities and colleges in Latvia may be either academic or professional. The quality of education in the top universities of Latvia has been able to attract students from various parts of the globe. Thus by inculcating a sense of competition and raising the standard of education, the best universities in Latvia are playing a very important role in making Latvia a very attractive option for pursuing higher education.
However, as survey agencies may not use a uniform method of conducting research, it is not always easy to locate the best universities in Latvia. As we cannot take the ranking of the best universities of Latvia of one survey as definitive, on this page, we have tried to compile the results of some of the best surveys in the world to give a rough idea about the top universities of Latvia.
This list should not be taken as our ranking and against every university the ranking and the survey name will be mentioned so that students get some idea which universities in Latvia are making news. Another reason for not taking these surveys as definitive is that all the departments of a university may not be equally good.
Therefore, it is very important for students to undertake their own research before taking a decision. However, a list of top universities of Latvia that list the survey results of some of the best research firms may help the students a lot in locating Latvia's top universities.
