Tuition-free study places for foreign students

Riga Graduate School of Law (RGSL) offers tuition fee waivers to foreign students on the Bachelor and Masters programmes for the academic year 2014/2015. RGSL strives to make their programmes more accessible to students from Europe and all over the world, and encourages students to enrol in the university that offers a highly respected international law education.

In order to apply for a scholarship which shall cover tuition fee for one academic year, the candidate must submit application documents and a letter of motivation concerning the opportunity to receive this scholarship. The RGSL Tuition Fee Waivers Committee shall review all applications, taking into consideration the applicant’s academic performance (overall average grade) and compliance with admission requirements according to the Rules of Admission and Study Agreement. Only those students, who are not currently registered as residents of Latvia, are considered as foreign students and eligible for a study place tuition waiver. The commission may take into account geographical criteria when considering tuition fee waivers.

In the next academic year RGSL will offer one free study place in each Bachelor programme – “Law and Diplomacy” and “Law and Business”, and one spot in the Masters programmes – “Law and Finance”, “Legal Linguistics” and “International and European Law” (and its sub-programmes).

The deadline for the free study place application submission is 17 March 2014. Apply online: apply.rgsl.edu.lv
