From 10 March to 15 April, the University of Latvia invites prospective students and other interested participants to attend open Master’s lectures, offering an opportunity to experience the academic environment, meet lecturers, and explore current research topics across various fields of study. Participants will be able to join real Master’s-level classes, experience the academic atmosphere, and gain inspiration for the next stage of their educational journey. The lectures are particularly recommended for Bachelor’s students considering continuing their studies, as well as for professionals and other interested participants.

The open lectures are free of charge and will take place as regular Master’s-level classes attended by current students alongside visitors. This format provides an opportunity to observe the study process in an authentic academic setting, meet students and academic staff, and ask questions about the programmes and study experience. Most lectures will take place on-site at different University of Latvia locations, while some will be held online or in urban environments. Participants are welcome to attend one or several lectures to gain a better understanding of the study content and the academic environment at the University.

At the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, the open lectures will organized in the Master’s programmes “European Studies and Economic Diplomacy” as well as “Cultural and Social Anthropology”

Open lectures provide a valuable opportunity for prospective students to evaluate the suitability of their chosen study programme and to prepare in advance for the next academic step.
