Hosting Universities

Tallinn University is a public institution of higher education. Its
main strengths lie in the fields of humanities and social sciences, but
it also has a strong and constantly growing component of natural and
exact sciences, as well as a notable tradition of teacher training and
educational research.
Tallinn University is the third largest university in Estonia,
consisting of 18 institutes and 4 colleges. It has more than 9500
students as well as more than 500 faculty members and research fellows,
and is the fastest growing university in Estonia.
The university sees itself as providing an environment which encourages
the intellectual and personal growth of all its members, faculty and
students alike, and has proclaimed as its values academic quality
(which involves combining research and teaching), solidarity and
collegiality, procedural transparency and simplicity, openness (which
involves significant internationalisation) and an outward focus on
society instead of isolating itself in an ivory tower.
The University has committed itself to the strategic goal of becoming
an international research university with a strong social conscience
and a flexible and collegial environment for learning and personal
growth, where considerable academic freedoms guaranteed to both the
students and the faculties are balanced by strict quality requirements.

One of the main aims of the university is large-scale
internationalisation – with its 8 academic degree programmes and a
number of shorter programmes and courses offered in the English
language it is already the most international university in the Baltic
area, but this number will, according to our plans, increase
significantly over the next few years. Many academic positions in the
university are announced for international application and the
University is glad to host international visiting scholars on their
sabbatical leaves or by other agreements.
 
The summer schools of the university, organised independently or
jointly with our international partners, such as the University of
Bologna and the University College of London, have already achieved a
notable reputation, and the university currently maintains 25
inter-university agreements with universities from 15 different
countries all over the world and more than 360 Erasmus exchange
agreements with European universities.

The international dimension today is an integral part of the university and is reflected in all of its core areas.
