School students have an opportunity to get to know the Faculty of Humanities, “shadowing” our academic staff members. “Shadow Days” is an educational event that takes place in Latvia annually. School students can attend any participating institution and observe the work of a representative of a chosen profession over several hours. The aim of “Shadow Days” is to acquaint school students with various professions, and help them choose the profession and get ready for the labour market. The Faculty of Humanities each year participates in the event. We offer school students to “shadow” one of our university professors. Those school students who participated in our “Shadow Days” say that the event was useful and pleasant, and helped them to feel the atmosphere at the Faculty.
Erasmus+ Mobility for Internships enables students to undertake an internship in a foreign organisation in any of the Erasmus+ Member States, with the provision of a grant . The purpose of these internships is to assist students in adapting to the requirements of the EU labour market, develop specific skills, including language skills, and improve their understanding of the economic and social culture of the host country within a work experience context, all contributing to the development of well-qualified, open-minded and internationally experienced future professionals. This mobility is open to students registered at the University who are not on interruption and have no outstanding academic or tuition fee debts. The results of the internship must be fully recognised by the University, and students must receive credits for the internship period; therefore, Erasmus+ internships are open to Masters students for the completion of internships required by their study programme
