The rules of registration and, accreditation of an institution,
licensing, registration and accreditation of study programmes are the
same for public and private higher educational institutions. Private higher education institutions may offer education not only in the state language (Latvian) but also in other languages.
Private
institutions can sign agreements with the Ministry of Education and
Science, other ministries or state institutions about training of
certain specialists and thus receive funding from state budget.
Full-time
students from private (state-accredited) higher education institutions
may apply for loans to cover living costs - "student loans". Loans to
cover tuition fees are offered also for part-time students in private
higher educational institutions.
