| Entry qualification | Master's diploma - Master’s degree in humanities (linguistics and literary studies, translation science, history, philosophy) or social sciences (intercultural relations, social anthropology, social psychology, etc.) or an equivalent 2nd level higher professional education in the relevant field. Examination: The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / German / Russian / Latvian. Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original. Please provide bachelor’s and master’s diploma (for doctoral studies) in the original language. If the diploma is not issued in English, Russian or German, you should provide a certified translation. The document must be legalised (usually done by Ministry of Education or Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country). Legalisation is a Certification of Document Authenticity: certification of document authenticity (legalisation) means verification of signature and seal of a document. Traditionally it is performed by a Consular Officer so that documents drawn up in one country would be legally valid in another one. If a document is issued in a foreign country which has concluded bilateral agreement with Latvia (Belarus, Kirghizstan, Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan) – these countries don’t need legalisation of documents, it enough if they have Official State Seal. You must take the original entry qualification documents along with you when you finally go to the university. |
