Today, many young people after graduating from high school and those who already have a bachelor’s degree choose a modern way to continue their studies and see the world at the same time, living in different countries.
In response to demand, universities offer programs specifically designed to combine studies with travel. They can provide opportunities to develop study projects and explore local culture and gain knowledge that could not be acquired by staying in only one location.
For young people, travelling and studying at university is an opportunity to experience new and exciting adventures and enjoy the freedom that comes with getting to explore new places.

While studying in Latvia, they can get to know the history of their cultural and national history, thus promoting the Latvian identity.
In addition, compared to some other European countries, Latvia has relatively lower study costs, so young people can save money and get an education.
