Whether you face an exam or an interview depends on the university and the programme. For example, for the University of Latvia's English-taught bachelor's in English, European Languages and Business Studies, applicants are ranked by their secondary school grades (including English, mathematics and the average), plus an online interview. Applicants from outside the EU also need a SAT score of at least 1200.
