Discover RGSL

"What made RGSL stand out was its interdisciplinarity. I will forever be indebted to RGSL for the opportunities, experience and friendships it has enabled. RGSL is more than a school, it is a community, a family of students, academics and lecturers alike who are open and willing to go one step beyond what is required; and it is that one extra step that makes RGSL a RGSL.
 

My experience at the Riga Graduate School of Law has been truly exceptional. After completing my Bachelor’s degree here, I continued my academic journey at RGSL by pursuing a Master’s in Law and Finance. The university’s multicultural environment, among both students and faculty, makes it an inspiring place to study and grow. The programme challenges students to think beyond national legal systems and engage with complex legal and financial questions, while also supporting both academic development and professional growth throughout the study process. It is an institution I am proud to be part of.
 

"I chose to study at RGSL because of the international community and all the benefits that come from it. Another important point was that at RGSL you are part of RGSL instead of being just a student, and that was very appealing to me.

RGSL has undoubtedly helped me to develop, not only as a professional and in gaining the necessary academic knowledge to conquer the labor market, it has also provided me with personal skills which will benefit me throughout life. RGSL provides a variety of opportunities which help us to go beyond borders

Studying at the Riga Graduate School of Law has been a truly enriching experience for me. I completed my bachelor’s degree here and am now pursuing my master’s, which has allowed me to fully benefit from the school’s interdisciplinary approach. The programs offer a valuable opportunity to go beyond traditional legal studies and explore how law intersects with fields such as finance, business, and diplomacy. This practical approach makes the learning process more engaging and provides students with a broader skill set that is highly relevant in today’s interconnected professional environment.
Moreover, RGSL has a strong and well-respected reputation in the Latvian market, which has supported my professional development and career opportunities in Latvia. Many lecturers are accomplished professionals such as judges, experts working in EU institutions, and recognized specialists in their fields which brings real-world insight directly into the classroom. Their diverse backgrounds and experiences encourage critical thinking and provide valuable perspectives on global legal and financial systems.

“I found RGSL after 4 months of Googling and having idea of third-degree in law outside of Finland but within a reasonable distance. RGSL studies are extremely student orientated. In Finland, the emphasis is on conservative and subject-based teaching and learning whereas RGSL has adopted agile and continuous improvement in their core functions that enable the student satisfaction to be high at a constant rate.”

RGSL is a place where you, apart from your regular studies, are constantly given opportunities to participate in events such as discussions, workshops and moot courts where you add to your professional skills and network with already established professionals in the field, which is one of the many prerequisites for a successful career.

I discovered RGSL while looking for a career change, and was attracted to the international and interdisciplinary nature of the Master's program.  Riga is an amazing city and a convenient hub for participating in European discussions.  The city hosts numerous regional and European conferences, providing opportunities to engage and network with experts from around the Continent.  RGSL programs are taught in English, and the school's multi-national faculty together provide unparalleled educational and professional opportunities in developing the "law plus" skills needed for professional achievement and success.  The LL.M. in Law and Finance programme provides broad and academically rigorous study.  Its curriculum exposes students to both traditional and emerging areas of international importance, encouraging us to dig deeper into the interrelationships of law, business, finance, politics, and rights.

"Enrolling into RGSL, I didn't know much about the school. All I knew was - I wholeheartedly wanted to study law. After almost two years at RGSL, I'm convinced there's no other place where I would rather be doing that.

“I first came across with RGSL when I was searching for a law school that provides bachelor programs in English. I then noticed that the university will be presented at the student fair “Studia” in Helsinki, and after talking with the representatives there I decided to apply. I am extremely happy with my choice; the past three years in RGSL have been truly amazing.

The highlight of my experience are the relationships that I formed, especially with the professors who came from abroad. They opened up a window of opportunities… the open-minded and broad perspective was guided by the international professors. 

The insight into EU and international law gained at RGSL provided a basis for the flexibility necessary to dive into other legal systems really quickly, and made me feel comfortable working in legal systems outside that of my country of qualification as a lawyer.
