Faculty of Transport and Mechanical
Engineering (FTME)
Travelling, increasing mobility and use of sophisticated mechanisms in our
daily life are just a few of the challenges offered by the 20th and 21st century.

the Riga Polytechnic established in 1864. Today FTME is one of the biggest
faculties at RTU. The persons who would like to undertake their studies at
FTME are offered a wide choice of study programs and specializations suiting
their interests and abilities.
