Study at RISEBA
RISEBA offers a diverse range of study programmes in business, communication, architecture, media, information technology, and the creative industries. Whether you choose bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral studies, our programmes combine academic excellence with practical experience. Throughout your studies, you will work on real-world projects, collaborate with industry professionals, and develop the skills needed for a successful career in Latvia and internationally.
Internationally Recognised Programmes
RISEBA study programmes are designed in accordance with international quality standards and the demands of today’s labour market. Many programmes are delivered in collaboration with international partner universities, offering opportunities to study in a global environment, participate in student exchange programmes, and, in selected programmes, earn a double degree. This provides graduates with competitive knowledge and broader career opportunities both in Latvia and abroad.

Choose the programme that matches your ambitions and take the first step towards your professional growth and future career.
Higher Education Valued by Students and Employers
RISEBA graduates build successful careers in business, public administration, the creative industries, and international organisations. The practical knowledge, professional network, and international experience gained during their studies provide a strong foundation for career development. Employers value RISEBA graduates for their initiative, adaptability, and ability to respond confidently to today’s business and societal challenges.
Lead, Create or Transform the World Around You
RISEBA bachelor’s studies are designed for young people who don’t just want to “enrol somewhere”, but want to understand where their ideas truly belong. If you are passionate about business, people, decision-making, and leadership, the Faculty of Business and Economics is the right choice. If you see the world through space, form, and design, the Architecture and Design direction will suit you. If your field is video, media, storytelling, and digital content, the Faculty of Media and Creative Technologies is where you belong.
RISEBA also offers flexible study formats for those who want to combine education with work, personal projects, or a creative lifestyle: part-time studies, distance studies, and part-time on-campus studies. Programmes such as Business Administration, Business Psychology, and Audiovisual Arts and Media Arts are suitable for students looking for part-time or distance learning options, including the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree through flexible study modes while combining work and studies.
Academic vs Professional Bachelor’s Degree
An academic bachelor’s degree is ideal for those who want to understand their field in depth – analysing, researching, thinking strategically, and potentially continuing towards master’s studies. A professional bachelor’s degree, on the other hand, is more practice-oriented: real projects, professional skills, internships in companies, and preparation for a specific career path.
If you are more interested in the question “why does this happen?”, an academic path may suit you better. If you prefer to know “how to do it?” and want to test yourself in real work environments sooner, a professional bachelor’s degree is the right choice. Both paths lead to higher education, but they differ in pace, focus, and the way you build your future profession.
Doctoral Studies for Academic Excellence and Leadership
RISEBA’s doctoral studies are designed for professionals and researchers who wish to deepen their expertise, develop advanced research skills, and earn an internationally recognised doctoral degree. Doctoral studies provide the opportunity to address contemporary challenges in business and management while collaborating with experienced academics and international partners. Studying at doctoral level enables you to pursue an academic career, drive innovation, and make a lasting contribution to your field.
Doctoral Study Programmes with International Collaboration
RISEBA’s doctoral study programmes are distinguished by their academic excellence and close collaboration with leading higher education institutions in Latvia and abroad. The doctoral programme in Business Management is delivered in cooperation with BA School of Business and Finance, the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, and Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences (Germany), providing an international learning environment and extensive research opportunities.
