TALLINN UNIVERSITY
Tallinn University is the youngest
among all universities in the
capital cities of Europe. It was
founded only in 2005 as a merger
of different universities and
research institutions in Tallinn.
Since then, it has been growing
quickly and has now a student
body of over 8500, with close
to 500 faculty members. The
University consists of 18 academic
institutes, 4 colleges and the
academic library. Academic
institutes are competence centres
in their specific field(s) and
are active both in research and
teaching.
The University has defined itself as
an environment for professional
and personal growth for all of
its members. It functions not as
an hierarchical organisation, but
as a community of scholars and
creative people, where decision-making power has in most matters been delegated to
those who are affected by them.
The University has identified internationalisation as one of its main goals. Its open
positions are regularly announced through international channels and the number of
successful applicants from abroad is growing constantly. You will also feel comfortable
in its premises, because information in English about what is where will be readily
available for you.
