What the fee figure leaves out
A published fee is not what you pay
6 courses here, across 3 universities, carry a sourced note about a cost the headline figure does not include — a compulsory contribution, an income-tested scale, an annual increase that applies from year two, a rule about who qualifies. The most widely shared of them:
The University of Latvia publishes a single tuition rate on this Latvian-taught programme’s page without saying which students it applies to. Its sibling programmes that do name an audience show this same figure as the EU/EEA/Swiss rate and a higher one for citizens of other countries, so it is not published here as an international fee.

What it costs
Annual international tuition, converted to US dollars so the two ends compare. The published figure in its own currency is the authoritative one.
What it costs to live
Student housing published by the university itself or by the body that runs its halls, cheapest first. Shown in the currency and period each one publishes — not converted, because a converted rent is a worse number than the real one.
How Latvia compares with other countries
Ranked against every other country on StudyPath. Countries charge in different currencies, so these figures are converted to US dollars and are approximate; the published figure, in its own currency, is on each university's page.

Converted to US dollars at the site's exchange rates of 13 Sept 2026. A fee or rent published per term, month or week is scaled to a year, and housing is counted for twelve months of holding the room. The living-cost figure is what an immigration authority requires a student visa applicant to show, taken as a year; the UK's, for example, covers at most nine months, so this overstates it.
