Orientation Week for International Students
Orientation Week is designed to help you settle in, make new friends, and start your journey smoothly.
Throughout the week, you’ll get to know more about life and culture in Estonia: its people, customs, and what makes Tallinn such a vibrant city to live and study in. We’ll also guide you through the essential legal procedures and documents you need.
You’ll learn how the academic system works here, what to expect from your studies, and how to make the most of the university experience. And of course, we’ve planned plenty of fun social activities to help you meet fellow international students, build connections, and feel at home.

Find your way on campus
We are conveniently located in the centre of Tallinn, next to Kadriorg Park. However, finding your way in the maze of campus rooms during your fist days might prove to be quite challenging, so the map of our campus might come in handy.
