It was my dream to become a dentist. I applied to the

dentistry program at RSU and was accepted. I moved to
Riga alone, but met so many friends and colleagues here.
I was taught very well thanks to great professors, doctors
and teaching staff. Now Im a dental doctor. Since summer
2015 I work as a dentist in Stockholm.
Bryar, Swedish dentistry graduate
RSU provides you with a modern dental clinic,
experienced professors, a multicultural atmosphere
and small groups, which is good for study without
feeling distant or anonymous.
