Riga Graduate School of Law Masters programmes have been a springboard for many successful careers, both in Latvia and internationally.
“When I started my studies at RGSL, its LL.M in International and European Law was the only programme in Latvia and in the Baltics to offer a high quality, Western standard legal education in those areas of law,” says Vineta Bei, Legal Secretary in the General Court of the European Union, RGSL Alumni of 2001. After graduation she started to work at the Office of the Representative of Latvia before International Human Rights Organisations, and, when Latvia joined the EU, at the European Court of Justice. “It is the knowledge obtained in RGSL that still principally guides my everyday work at Europe’s top court in Luxembourg.”
