LIFE - Learning in Interdisciplinary Focused Environment
LIFE is a university-wide project-based course, which is mandatory for most Bachelor's level students and optional for all Master's level students. The aim of the LIFE subject is to deepen student's general competences and support the development of interdisciplinary problem-solving skills. LIFE may not be included in joint curricula, subject teacher curricula and some English-language curricula.
LIFE alternatives for master's students
Master's students have the option to take either HÜPE (Tomorrow's General Competencies for Life), which develops general competencies, or the series of research seminars, Academia+, instead of ELU.
HÜPE (Tomorrow's General Competencies for Life)
HÜPE is a university-wide elective course aimed at developing the general competencies necessary for life, i.e., cross-disciplinary and cross-field competencies that are important for being a person and a citizen. It is a collection of a person's knowledge, skills, attitudes, and the readiness to apply them all.

Inequalities and perception of justice: from local to global |
The interdisciplinary seminar in social sciences and humanities examines what inequality is and how it is perceived. What types of inequalities exist? Beyond financial and socioeconomic inequality, how can we think about cultural or environmental inequality? How are inequality and justice, as well as fairness perceptions, interconnected? The primary focus is on Estonia and its recent history, but we also explore the longer history of inequality and its international structures.

LIFE is funded within the framework of Project TLÜ TEE, i.e. Tallinn University as an Advocate of Intelligent Lifestyle no 2014-2020.4.01.16-0033 activity B23, under ASTRA programme of European Regional Development Fund.
