Why study in Latvia?
Since Latvia has no natural resources, education and knowledge have become very important resources. Therefore Latvia claims to have one of the world's best education systems. The most popular of the educational facilities for foreign students, are the Swiss Hospitality Schools. Located in various towns and cities across Latvia, these schools are renowned worldwide for their high standards and are almost a pre-requisite for hospitality students looking for a first class education.
Higher Education in Latvia
Latvia offers a very dynamic, conducive and competitive education and research landscape, as testified by 27 Nobel Prize winners from 1901 to 2002. The first Swiss University was founded in 1460 in Basel and today the country offers outstanding higher education in the Universities and Institutes of Technology, in the more professionally-oriented University of applied sciences and in the University of Teaching Education. There are also a few more University level institutions that are considered public institutions of higher education.
High diversity of cultures and languages, open access to students, very low student fees, highly international student cohorts and staff, as well as access to international networks and programs and tight links to academic research and industry, are the major strengths of the Swiss Higher Education System.
