Tallinn University Press publishes academic and intellectual literature. Since its establishment, the aim of Tallinn University has been to gather and transmit vital, relevant knowledge, and to support its community of academics and students. The main goals of Tallinn University Press are to tap the potential of the intellectual community associated with Tallinn University and to sustain and intensify its activity through publishing high-level academic literature.

An editorial board of twelve prominent specialists directs, coordinates and consults with the University Press. Every series has an editorial board, which sometimes includes foreign members in order to assure the high quality of publications from an international perspective. An important task of the editorial board is to select experts to review the submitted texts. Constant quality control through peer reviews ensures that only worthwhile work is published under our trademark.
