Application Fee
TThe application fee for applying to Tallinn University is 100 euros per international student candidate. You can apply for two programmes at Tallinn University while paying the application fee only once.
The application fee covers the administrative costs associated with processing an application. It applies to international student candidates whose previous level or stage of education required for applying was acquired outside the Republic of Estonia.
The application fee does not apply to:
- an international student candidate whose previous level or stage of education required for applying was acquired in the Republic of Estonia: secondary education or a corresponding qualification when applying to a Bachelor’s programme, a Bachelor’s degree or a corresponding qualification when applying to a Master’s programme, or a Master’s degree or a corresponding qualification when applying to a Doctoral programme;
- a citizen of the Republic of Estonia;*
- a holder of a long-term residence permit or permanent right of residence in the Republic of Estonia;*
- an international student candidate whose previous level or stage of education required for applying was acquired outside the Republic of Estonia, but who has been admitted to Tallinn University in the preceding three academic years and whose previous education has gotten a positive assessment;
- Ukrainian citizens applying for the 2026/2027 or 2027/28 intakes;
- an international candidate applying to the MA Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Societies programme. If the candidate also submits an application to a second programme, the application processing fee must be paid.
* Estonian citizens and holders of an Estonian long-term residence permit or permanent right of residence must apply via the SAIS application system.
Please note that there are no additional exemptions from the application fee.
Before paying the application fee, please make sure that you will be at least 18 years old by the beginning of your studies.
Paying the application fee alone does not give the applicant the right to participate in the admission process. All required documents, including educational documents and proof of English language proficiency, must also be submitted by the application deadline.
The application fee will not be refunded if:
- the payment was made incorrectly or unnecessarily;
- the international student candidate fails to submit all required documents by the application deadline;
- the international student candidate does not pass the admission exam.
Please note that your application will not be processed until Tallinn University has received the application fee payment. Feedback on your application will be given within two weeks of Tallinn University receiving your application fee payment.
If you have any questions regarding admission or the application fee payment, please contact Tallinn University’s International Admission Office at admissions@tlu.ee or +372 640 9234.
