Riga Technical University - RTU Speciality : Computer Science
programme: Computer Systems Engineering

The university is nice but for the people who are having self willingness to study and do the task. I graduated from computer systems and my honest feedback would be that the program contains all of the courses which you would require as a foundation in a real world job market but the covers the basics. The real problem is upon the students to take it and go through it and this is where it fails. Just presenting as a regular or normal course students feel pressured and assumes it’s just a subject but from personal experience what I feel is that majority of things which I use at my professional work place has the basics which were taught in this university and this realisation comes later when you’re actually facing it in the professional environment. If teachers could make it more interactive and intuitive I personally think students could really benefit out of it and if the student is curious enough and does deeper studies along with the university materials, the students is kind of already ready to start with a professional career.

As soon as you get accepted, you are going to wait for an email response for at least 2 weeks. They treat you as if you enjoy the document stuff and as if you purposefully try to annoy them or disturb them by asking for help. Nobody likes helping neither in the uni, nor in the country. You have to ask a simple question 3-4 times before most of the professors answer the question you actually asked. The uni dorms increase their prices every time they remember about it which is quite often. They gonna let you freeze on campus, in dorms because “sustainability, energy saving”. Not gonna lie, you can find a few great professors who are willing to help you understand and give you a chance to improve your grades, but none of them are locals.
