Admission for war refugees
In 2022, Tallinn University will create opportunities for Ukrainian students with Ukrainian citizenship, whose studies were interrupted due to the war in their home country, to continue their studies.
In cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Research, the university aims to provide tuition-free study places for students from Ukraine in the 2022/2023. academic year. We will specify the number of study places and specific conditions as soon as possible.
The university is ready to review the previous studies of students who have started their studies in Ukraine and to assess their compliance with our curricula so that they can continue their studies at Tallinn University. For this, we ask students to submit an application in which they write a description of their educational journey so far and which programme in Tallinn University would suit their needs. Applications are accepted here.
For more information, contact admissions@tlu.ee.
Students whose documents have not been preserved or are incomplete will be referred to the Estonian ENIC / NARIC Center for academic recognition. Read more about it.
Support measures for students with Ukrainian citizenship
In the spring semester of 2022, the university will not charge tuition fees to students from Ukraine.
