TalTech was established in 1918, when the Estonian Engineering Society uniting local technology intellectuals began to provide special engineering courses in order to cover the need for locally trained engineering specialists. Only in a year the school became the private Tallinn College of Engineering, which in 1920 was declared a state institution.
TalTech offers 4 Bachelor's and 14 Master's programmes in English in the fields of IT, technology, business, governance, engineering and maritime sciences. All programmes are internationally recognized and provide high-quality education by combining in-depth study and creative labs. Thus, you can get the best hands-on experience for your education and career.
Studies for the EU/EEA citizens are tuition free (except for the School of Business and Governance). In addition, scholarships are available.
At TalTech, we develop real things, such as self-driving cars and student formula. We offer an opportunity to study in a modern digital campus where many of the most recent technologies are tested and implemented on the daily basis.
TalTech researchers are currently involved in many research projects within the university and in joint projects with other universities across all the fields and disciplines presented at the university.
In order to help you to decide for a suitable career path at TalTech we provide a free career counseling for TalTech current and prospective students, and recent graduates. In addition, we give an advice on questions concerning school system, academic career, child care, housing and living in Estonia for our students and employees. We are looking forward to meeting you!

I took a chance on a small country I have barely heard before and started my bachelor degree there. Now that I‘m almost done I can full heartedly say that I fell in love with Estonia and TalTech. Besides studying the student life was great and the support as well.
The education provided is absolutely exceptional. Tallinn, a beautiful city rich in history and culture, makes it an even better place to live. The people are friendly, and the systems are incredibly accommodating. It�s a great option for anyone looking to get a top-tier education at a very affordable price. Highly recommended!
