Higher education in Estonia
Admission to an Estonian university is possible on the basis of secondary education. In addition, you need to pass exams, receive a certificate of educational qualification according to the ENIC / NARIC system and pass a test in a foreign language (it all depends on which language of instruction the future applicant chooses).
Upon entering a university or vocational school, graduates will receive a diploma of higher vocational education. The basis of training here is practical training, so these educational institutions graduate practitioners.
Upon entering the university, graduates will receive an academic education, as well as a bachelor's degree (for 3-4 years of study) or a master's degree (+ 2-year study). And while receiving education in such specialties as medicine, architecture and pharmaceuticals, students will have to study for at least 6 years.
Almost all Estonian universities provide education in Estonian, therefore it is advisable to use preparatory language programs before entering. Despite the fact that some universities offer students to take advantage of educational programs in English, it is still worth learning Estonian in order to lead a fulfilling daily life.
You can enter Tallinn University (social sciences and humanities are studied here): education here is conducted in English. If you wish, you can start your studies at this university in Russian, gradually switching to Estonian. Those wishing to study technical and engineering disciplines, as well as business and international relations, can enter Tallinn University of Technology.
Business education can be obtained at Estonian Business School and Mainor Business School (they are private universities).
Work while studying
Foreign students are allowed to work during their studies (20-25 hours per week), which means that everyone will have the opportunity to partially pay for their studies.
Having received an Estonian diploma, you can emigrate to Estonia and find work there without any problems.
