Stockholm University offers a full 5 term programme of Latvian language

studies at the Department of Baltic Studies. Courses begin at the basic

level where no prior knowledge of Latvian is necessary and proceed to the

Bachelor and Master's levels. There is also a programme at the doctoral

level for the study of Baltic languages. Courses at the lower levels

concentrate not only on theoretical knowledge of but also on the practical

use of the language. There are also shorter general courses on Baltic

studies in Swedish requiring no knowledge of Latvian. This education is one

of its kind not only in Sweden but also in the Scandinavian countries.

The Department of Baltic Studies is located on level 4 (street level) of

the main building (Södra huset) of Stockholm University in the rooms D 4107

- D 4120 in the corridor connecting Hus D to Hus E.
