MBBS in
Latvia

Latvia is a Baltic EU member state that offers a well-structured, popular MBBS pathway for Indian students. MBBS in Latvia consist of universities like the Riga Stradiņš University (RSU), Latvia's premier health sciences university, which is the primary destination and a strong recommendation for this pathway. RSU has been offering English-medium medical education to international students since the early 1990s and has a well-established international student programme with NMC approval and WHO listing. Riga, Latvia's capital, is one of Northern Europe's most beautiful cities. Its Art Nouveau architecture (approximately one-third of the old town building stock is Art Nouveau, more than any other city in the world) makes it a UNESCO World Heritage city, and the Baltic Sea coastline, Jurmala beach resort, and Latvian countryside are all within easy reach. The city is safe, well-connected, and affordable by EU standards. Latvia is a Schengen and EU member, meaning RSU graduates are eligible to apply for European medical licences, and their student residence permit covers travel within the Schengen zone. At a total 6-year cost of ₹65 to 85 Lakhs for MBBS in Latvia, Latvia is comparable to MBBS in Estonia, both Baltic EU MBBS destinations that offer English-medium EU degrees and are significantly more affordable than MBBS in Poland, the Czech Republic, or MBBS in Hungary. FMGE pass rates for RSU graduates are in the 38–46% range strong for an EU Baltic destination.
