Riga Technical University
Founded in 1862, RTU is the oldest technical university in the Baltic states and Latvia’s largest, with around 37 English-taught programmes offered through its admissions portal. Alongside the main Riga campus it includes the Latvian Maritime Academy and academies in Liepāja and Rēzekne, plus RTU Riga Business School, which prices its BBA and MBA separately. It is the strongest research and engineering option on this list, with correspondingly higher expectations in maths and science.
