Tallinn Health University of Applied Sciences

Why this works

• Public university status gives the diploma official Estonian state accreditation, valid across the EU.
• Tallinn is Estonia's capital — a safe, compact, digitally advanced city with low crime and EU infrastructure.
• Estonia's post-study work rights allow TRP holders to work 20 hours per week during term and full-time during holidays.
• Tuition of €6,200 per year is below the Western European median for health-science programmes.
• On-campus student hostel is available, with dorm costs estimated at €150–250 per month.
• Estonia participates in Schengen, giving students free travel across 27 European countries during studies.

What to check

• The only English-taught bachelor programme (Assistant Pharmacist) is not accepting new admissions for 2026-27 — enrolment is currently impossible.
• The Master's in Health Sciences is taught entirely in Estonian, making it inaccessible to non-Estonian speakers.
• No scholarships or fee reductions for international students are documented at the institutional level.
• The institution is a narrow health-professions specialist with no English business, STEM, or humanities programmes.
• As a small applied-sciences college, TTK has lower international brand recognition than TalTech or Tartu University.
