International Students' Collegium

Established in 2021 as part of the Students’ Council, the University of Latvia International Students’ Collegium (UL ISC) is an elected student body aiming to represent and integrate students studying in the international programmes at UL. 

   

The main focus of UL ISC is to:

  • approach various academic affairs,
  • organize events during the orientation period and throughout the semester,
  • facilitate communication between the university and the students. 
 

We value and encourage integration, diversity, opportunity and community. 

 

Elections

Annually in November, the UL ISC elections are held, in which a maximum of 7 international student representatives can be elected as Members of UL ISC by the LU SP Assembly. However, if the UL ISC is incomplete, new Members may be elected to fill the vacant positions throughout the year.

UL International Students' Collegium articles of association are available here.

Meanwhile, anyone is welcome to participate in UL ISC as an activist at any given point.

If you are interested in becoming a student representative or an activist at UL ISC, please contact us at ulisc@lusp.lv
