Study Admission
Admission
Admissions to the study programmes are administrated by the institution of higher education, and candidates apply directly to the institution of their choice. It is best to contact the admissions office well before studies start in order to find out all the necessary details about application procedures, accommodation, visa regulations and other important information.
International students seeking a degree in Estonia are usually treated on the same terms as Estonian students when applying for university. For admission to a university, there are some general and some institution-specific requirements. The general requirements are binding on all higher education institutions. There are no enrolment requirements for exchange students besides an agreement between partner universities.
All applicants to Estonian universities' degree programmes are required to have a qualification giving access to university studies in their home country. Applicants also need to show proof of proficiency in English. All internationally recognised language proficiency tests are accepted, though some institutions may run individual language tests. Depending on the institution and programme, there might be additional entrance tests such as an interview, written essay, portfolio etc.
All in all - please contact your respective international student office well before starting your studies in order to get relevant information on application procedures, accommodation possibilities and other important matters.
