Russian Language Study Abroad Programs, full language and culture immersion
in the most Russian city of the European Union: Daugavpils, Latvia

"Learn Russian in the European Union" offers custom study abroad programs for international students and professionals studying the Russian language and specializing in the language, political science, security studies, history, STEM, and other areas.

Each study program is designed to meet requirements and preferences of either a particular institutional customer (university, government agency, language school, or a study abroad agent), or an individual student (undergraduate or graduate university student, professional, Russian language teacher, heritage speaker, or a language enthusiast).

No visa is required for citizens of many countries to attend programs in Daugavpils.

How we work:

  • To plan a program with “Learn Russian in the EU”, a customer requests the language proficiency level, program dates, program content, university credit transfer, lodging and excursion options, as well as additional services.
  • We put together all components and propose a draft program with its budget.
  • Then we talk to the customer, adjust and refine the program until the customer approves it.

About “Learn Russian in the EU”

“Learn Russian in the EU” is a joint initiative of the Department of Russian and Slavic Linguistics at Daugavpils University and Training Center LatInSoft.

“Learn Russian in the EU” provides a broad range of study programs in the Russian language, literature, culture, political science, Eastern European studies, history, and other areas. Academic year, semester, and summer programs with European Credit Transfer at Daugavpils University are available.

Russian immersion

Daugavpils, the second largest city in Latvia, is a unique place – a Russian-language enclave, where everyone speaks standard modern Russian as their native language and where Russian is the language of daily communication.

Students will experience full linguistic immersion and undergo an amazing cultural experience in a city which was once part of both the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union and which has a remarkable historical legacy tied to Russia and Russian-European relations.

Russian-speaking host families

“Learn Russian in the EU” partners with outstanding Russian-speaking host families. These families offer much more than convenient lodging and good meals for our international students – they work together with the program.

We highly recommend staying in a local Russian-speaking family.
