Traditionally graduation ceremonies are held at the heart of Alma Mater – at the Great Hall; this year is no exception and most of the ceremonies will take place there. It will be possible to see graduates taking pictures on the steps of the University main entrance almost every day until July 14, when the marathon of the graduation ceremonies will finish with diplomas being awarded to the graduates of the Legal Science professional master study programme at the Faculty of Law. First diplomas this summer were awarded to 28 graduates from the interuniversity master’s programme “Nutritional Science”. This was the third cohort of graduates for the programme run by the University of Latvia in collaboration with Rīga Stradiņš University and Latvia University of Agriculture. The diplomas of the academic degree of Master of Health Sciences in Nutritional Science to the graduates were awarded by the pro-rectors of their respective universities.
