Accessibility of the environment

RISEBA Architecture and Media Centre H2O 6

The university, RISEBA, also offers students for people with disabilities. The most comprehensive opportunities to study are in the form of distance learning studies, which allow you to adapt to the type and location of study that corresponds to you. More information here.

RISEBA’s main building is located in a historic 19 th-century building in Riga, on Meza Street 3, which was originally a rental apartment building, making it difficult to adapt for people with disabilities.

The RISEBA Architecture and Media Centre H2O 6 is ideal for students with disabilities to be comfortable attending lectures there. The minutes of the evaluation of premises can be consulted here.
