Founded in 1862 as the Riga Polytechnic, Riga Technical University is the OLDEST higher education institution in Latvia (predating the University of Latvia, which absorbed parts of the Polytechnic in 1919 before RTU re-established independently in 1958/1990). Approximately 15,000 students. Latvia's leading technical university. Distinguished engineering and architecture heritage; notable alumni include Friedrich Zander (Latvian-German space-flight pioneer, inspiration for Soviet rocketry) and Wilhelm Ostwald (Chemistry Nobel 1909 — studied at Riga Polytechnic).
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an endorsement.

Why this is free

AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to help people find their way to education — and the wider project supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
