Approximately 35% of SSE Riga Bachelor students gain international experience through long-term academic exchanges, short-term blended programmes, or international traineeships.
 

Erasmus+ Long-Term Study Mobilities

In the final year of studies, students can either remain at SSE Riga and specialize in selected fields, or spend a semester abroad through an exchange programme at a partner university, with the opportunity to choose a specialization not offered at SSE Riga.

SSE Riga students may join mobility programmes in both EU and non-EU countries. The list of Erasmus+ partner institutions is available here.

By studying abroad, students strengthen their communication, language, and intercultural skills, while also gaining soft skills highly valued by employers. In line with SSE Riga's policy, no more than two students are placed at the same partner university, ensuring diversity across destinations.

Students receive Erasmus+ and Latvian state scholarships to cover their travel and living expenses abroad.

Erasmus+ Short-Term Blended Mobilities

Some elective courses are offered in collaboration with partner universities. These short-term blended formats allow students to earn ECTS credits while studying abroad with international peers and spending time at the host institution.

Erasmus+ Traineeships

Students currently enrolled in higher education or recent graduates can apply for a work placement or internship abroad lasting from 2 to 12 months. These traineeships are available in EU countries and offer valuable hands-on experience in an international professional environment.

Guidelines for Erasmus+ Long-Term Study Mobilities

The mobility programme is available only for academically successful students who have demonstrated social activity during their studies at SSE Riga.
