The University of Latvia (LU) was founded in 1919, shortly after Latvia became independent, and is the country's largest and most comprehensive university. It teaches across the sciences, medicine, economics, law, humanities and education, and is the main research university in Latvia. Its newer Academic Centre in Torņakalns, across the river from Riga's Old Town, houses modern science and technology buildings.

LU appears in the QS World University Rankings 2027 in the 781–790 band. For Indian students its main appeal is a wide range of English-taught degrees at low fees: most English bachelor's and master's programmes cost between €3,100 and €6,000 a year for non-EU students in 2026/27. It also runs English-taught Medicine and Dentistry degrees, which cost considerably more.
