CONFERENCE
The rector of the university, Professor Mārcis Auziņš justified taking this decision:
"In honour of the University of Latvia’s 90th anniversary, in addition to the current 215 annual grants, 90 social grants "Ceļamaizes" will be awarded. These grants are intended for young and talented youngsters who come from economically disadvantaged families. At the same time, the university has unanimously passed a decision to reduce study fees in order to provide as many people as possible the opportunity to get a good quality higher education.”
The average reduction of the study fee is approximately 130 lats a year for one study programme. The average study fee is 1,300 lats a year for a bachelor’s programme and 1,500 lats for a master’s programme.
The UL is the only classical type of university in Latvia which offers such a wide range of study programmes, including the natural sciences, medicine, and the humanities. Together with all its scientific institutions, the UL is not only Latvia’s largest educational institution, but also its largest research institute.
"90 years ago, the University of Latvia became the centre of intellectual life in Latvia, laying strong foundations for our country’s higher education and scientific traditions.
Also now, the university’s main mission essentially hasn’t changed. It is still and remains based in science, it is modern, and it provides a competitive higher education in Europe,” stressed M.Auzinš.
