    Riga Stradins University - September 2027 intake, applicants from 'Additional Assessment' countries
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Published inside the non-EU/EEA window as "1 March 2027 to 1 May 2027 (1 April 2027 for citizens of 'Additional Assessment' countries)". Non-EU applicants close earlier than EU applicants to leave time for the residence permit.

  3. 1 July 2027

    Application period closes for September 2027 (EU/EEA)
    Hard deadline
    Details

    RSU's table prints the opening as "1 Sep 2025", which is the previous intake's date: the master's row for the same intake reads "1 Sep 2026 – 1 Jul 2027", and the February tab opens this programme on 1 Sep 2026. So the window opened on 1 September 2026 and is open now. The date that matters is the close, 1 July 2027, which is not in doubt.
