As an international applicant, your admission process differs from local applicants. You are not required to travel to Riga for on-site entrance exams. Instead, the selection committee evaluates your potential based on two key components:

1. The Digital Portfolio – Your Creative Showcase

Since you will not take the physical drawing exam, the admission committee places a heightened emphasis on your digital portfolio to evaluate your artistic potential, spatial thinking, and technical skills.

• Requirements: The portfolio must consist of 12 horizontal A3 pages in PDF format.
• Content: It should demonstrate your skills in freehand drawing (understanding of perspective, proportions, and composition), technical drafting, sketching, and other creative works (painting, photography, etc.).
• Submission: Send your portfolio to [email protected] or provide a download link (PDF up to 5 MB) by your application date.

2. Mandatory Online Interview

Every international applicant must participate in an online interview with the Program Director via Zoom or another video platform. This interview is designed to verify your motivation, discuss your portfolio, and ensure the program is the right fit for your career goals. We will contact you to schedule this once your application is received.

📌 General Information

• Application Deadline: For international students, the application deadline is July 6, 2026 at 23:59. (submit your application here: my.riseba.lv )
