According to Study in Europe, Latvia has 29 higher education institutions and 24 colleges. You can choose between:

universities (universitāte) – including the University of Latvia (Latvijas Universitāte) and Riga Technical University (Rīgas Tehniskā universitāte, RTU),
universities of applied sciences – focused on preparing you for a profession,
specialised higher education institutions – concentrating on one field,
colleges (koledža) – shorter professional programmes.

More than 200 programmes are taught in English, so you will find something even without Latvian.
