## About

Tallinn is a safe, compact capital with excellent healthcare infrastructure and a strong medical education reputation in the Nordic region. The city is manageable in size, making it easier for international students to find clinical placements and hospital connections.

## Strengths

- Estonia is an EU member state — graduating students gain access to European labour markets and can live and work across the Schengen zone.
- Tallinn is a compact, safe capital with a low cost of living compared to Western Europe, making it attractive for budget-conscious students.
- Tuition is €6,200 per year — below average for EU health programmes taught in English.
- IELTS 5.5 is a low English bar, accessible to CIS students without intensive preparation.
- The college is a public institution, carrying state accreditation and an EU-recognised diploma.
- Students on a residence permit may work up to 20 hours per week during term and full-time during holidays, enabling income while studying.

## Watch out for

- Only one programme is taught in English — Assistant Pharmacist; all other health programmes (nursing, midwifery, optometry) are Estonian-language only.
- The English programme is vocational level, not a bachelor degree — recognition and further study options may be narrower than a full BSc.
- Scholarships are not researched and cannot be confirmed; students should plan without financial aid.
- Tallinn is a small capital — part-time healthcare jobs for English-speaking students in a niche field may be limited.
- The entrance test (botany, chemistry, anatomy, physiology) and motivation interview add a competitive admissions hurdle beyond language requirements.
