Practical classes and field practice are crucial components of the studying process, thus they commence as early as the 3rd semester of studies and are carried out in the leading clinics and medical facilities of Riga. In the field of research, a wide collaboration with scientific institutions in Latvia provides an opportunity for the students to cement their academic knowledge and motivates them to take an in-depth approach to applied science.
Each year the European Union citizens studying at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Latvia can participate in the EU educational exchange programme ERASMUS+ and spend from 3 months up to a full academic year at a college or university in any other EU member state.
