Study Abroad in Estonia

Estonia is the northernmost of the three Baltic states, bordering Latvia in the South and Russia in the East, while the Southern tip of Finland is just a stone’s throw away across the sea. Estonia is one of the least-populous countries in Europe, with just 1.3 million inhabitants. About a third of the country’s population live in its capital, Tallinn.

Estonia has spent much of its history under foreign rule, most recently as a part of the Soviet Union. Having regained its independence in 1991, Estonia has oriented strongly towards Western Europe and reformed and modernised itself with impressive success.

The government’s push for innovation, digitisation and the removal of bureaucracy has born fruit. Estonia is today one of the most-prosperous former communist countries, where a modern, open-minded society enjoys a high standard of living. In this context, the English proficiency among locals is also remarkably high. It therefore does not come as a surprise that Estonia regularly ranks among the best European countries in the “Ease of doing business index” by the World Bank Group. Over recent years, Tallinn has become an exciting hub for startups. All in all, Estonia is an attractive destination for international students, with many study options available.

Why did you choose to study at the University of Tartu?

To be honest, it was incredibly random. Without going into details, UT stood out at the conclusions of a SWOT analysis of other places I compared in Central & Eastern Europe. It is a great mix of modern, historic, affordable, comfortable, with an excellent academic program to compliment its natural and urban beauty.

What was the university like? And Tartu as a city?

I can’t emphasize enough how cool the university’s history was. During the winter, there was a vivid social scene, but a lot of studying going on due to the harsh winters. I’d never seen so much snow before. Once it melted and summer arrived, I had never seen such phosphorescent green grass and blue skies. Every activity was moved outdoors, including studying, socializing, eating, and so on. Tartu still has a few old Soviet scars, but by and large, it looks and feels just like a German or Swedish city. Just a lot cheaper.

What was a typical day for you when studied in Estonia?

I would wake up and walk to class through a modern district, a park, across the river, through the historic town square, and up the hill. Not as long of a walk as that sounds. My classes were in English, and all really interesting. Then I’d find some friends around my faculty and go grab the lunch special somewhere and eat out on the square. Then I might study or attend an event later that day. I also flew to the Netherlands once a month and squeezed several other trips in—I was practically always on the move. I had a lot of friends in Tallinn, which was an hour and a half away. Estonians are easier to befriend than their reputation.
