Degrees in Estonia

In Estonia, bachelor’s or undergraduate degrees are widely offered at traditional universities as well as specialised higher education institutions. These programs typically lead to qualifications such as Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Bachelor of Arts (BA).

While Estonian is the main teaching language, the number of English-taught programs has been increasing, making Estonia a more popular destination for international students.

How to Apply for a Degree in Estonia

International students generally apply directly to their chosen Estonian institution. Some universities also participate in a centralised application system, such as Dreamapply Estonia. Required application documents usually include academic transcripts, a motivation letter, and a CV or resume.

Proficiency in English is mandatory for English-taught programs, with tests such as IELTS or TOEFL commonly accepted as proof. For programs taught in Estonian, proficiency in the language is required, often verified through specific language tests. Academic requirements vary by program but can include a specific GPA, SAT scores, or knowledge in relevant subject areas.

Undergraduate Tuition Fees for International Students

Tuition fees in Estonia are competitive and vary depending on the university and the specific program. International students can expect to pay between €1,500 and €7,000 annually at public universities. EU/EEA students often enjoy the same tuition rates as domestic students.

Scholarships and financial aid are available from Estonian universities, as well as from governmental and regional organisations. These financial aids aim to support international students financially, helping to make higher education more accessible to students from diverse backgrounds.
