The Transport and Telecommunication Institute (TSI) is a modern university of applied sciences with a rich centennial history, established in its current form in 1999 as the direct successor to the legendary RKIIGA and RAU aviation institutions. As the only private technical higher education institution in Latvia, TSI has built a reputation for excellence across STEM disciplines, managing to rank #1 among all private universities in Latvia in 2026. This distinction is anchored by its inclusion as the sole private institution on the national list of leading scientific organizations, alongside an impressive 5th place ranking for overall graduate earnings in Latvia. Operating fully in both Latvian and English, the university is a pioneer in the Baltic region, notably standing out as the only Latvian institution offering specialized concentrations in Artificial Intelligence and exclusive double-degree programs in direct partnership with the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) . TSI’s impact is heavily reflected in its exceptional global community and highly modern campus infrastructure.
