Students can also take part of the cultural programme. During the three weeks of Winter School, participants not only enhance their knowledge in a variety of fields, but at the same time develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Estonian culture.
Tallinn University was established in 2005, merging several universities and research institutes in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The university is the fastest-growing in the country, strong in social sciences and humanities and rapidly-developing in natural sciences. As part of the University-wide internationalization efforts, the university offers 13 academic degree programmes and a number of shorter programmes and courses in English.
