Absolventu atsauksmes
“I must admit that before setting my foot in Latvia I knew nothing about the country. I was, however, happily surprised to discover a vibrant and culturally rich environment. I joined the University of Latvia with the goal to explore new ways of learning, and above all, the professional Master’s degree in Business Administration has provided me with what I can literally call an international education. Professors and professionals from all over the world, e.g., United States, France, Italy, Austria, not only teach you but also share their own experience. Participating in realistic case assignments and events such as international conferences and videoconferences, was also a good way to share and put into practice what had been learned and observed. At the end of the two-year study period, this has been quite a challenging, rewarding experience, and a huge opportunity for personal growth and development, not to mention obtaining a large contact list from worldwide student participants.”
