More information and a dedicated Medently page about RSU is coming very soon — everything you need to know, in one place.

Coming soon

Your new home city

Riga — the biggest, liveliest capital in the Baltics

The country

Study in the EU. Live by the Baltic.

Latvia gives you the full European package — EU degree, Schengen freedom, euro currency — at a cost of living that makes studying abroad actually affordable.

EU + Schengen + euro

Latvia is a full EU member — one currency, no borders, and your degree counts everywhere in the EU/EEA.

UNESCO old town

Riga's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the city holds Europe's largest collection of Art Nouveau architecture.

Student-friendly prices

Most students live well on roughly €700–1,000 a month including rent — far below Scandinavian or UK costs.

Direct flights everywhere

Riga is the Baltics' biggest air hub. Oslo in ~1.5 h, Berlin ~1.5 h, London under 3 h — going home is easy.

English works everywhere

Riga is a young, international capital — English gets you through daily life while you pick up Latvian.

Beach + city + forest

Jūrmala's white-sand beach is 25 minutes from campus, and half of Latvia is forest. Study hard, breathe easy.

Applying to RSU with Medently works exactly like it does with every university we work with — you talk to us, and we take care of everything else. Free, as always.

Say hi

Message us on WhatsApp and tell us RSU is the dream. We'll check your options for free and map out your fastest route to Riga.

Documents, deadlines, the application, every follow-up with the university — we take care of all of it, just like we do at every university we work with. You stay in the loop the whole way.

You get in

Offer in hand, we help you with housing and the move to Riga — and we stay by your side long after you land. Studies begin 2 February 2027.

The partnership

What Medently × RSU means for you

We only reach out to universities we'd recommend to our own family — and RSU is one of them. Same Medently, same promise, one more world-class destination.

Chosen for a reason

We don't partner with everyone. RSU's way of thinking — serious, modern and genuinely student-first — is exactly what we look for. This is a university we're proud to stand behind.

Everything handled

Just like with all our universities, we help you with all your documents and every step of the way — you never have to figure anything out alone.

Medently stays Medently

Same team, same promise. Honest guidance and the best possible offer for our students — always, and always completely free.

The full Medently toolkit

Medently AI, your own student portal and a WhatsApp line that actually replies. RSU has no entrance exam, so instead of exam prep we put the work into your application file: the documents, the RSU forms and the letters, checked before anything is submitted.

RSU joins UPJŠ, UPOL and UMCH in the Medently university family — and it won't be the last.

Riga is calling.

Seats for the next intakes are limited — and the earlier we start, the smoother it goes. First message is free. So is everything after it.
