Scholarships

Researched 2026-07 on tktk.ee: the scholarships page states no awards or competitions are currently open. Every archived award (Metec, Tallinna Vesi, E-Service, ESRI, TTK active-student grant) requires prior enrolment on a named Estonian-taught engineering programme, usually from year 2. No entry-level award exists for international applicants. Tuition is €0 on a state-funded place, so no award is needed to cover fees.

National funding for this destination

Honestly

Why this works

  • Tuition-free on a state-funded place — full-time students pay nothing while they stay within 6 ECTS of the cumulative curriculum plan.
  • Estonia's largest public university of applied sciences (~3,000 students, 6 institutes), so the engineering degree carries state accreditation and EU recognition.
  • Applied, industry-facing programmes (mechanical engineering, robotics, electrical engineering, environmental technology, logistics, applied architecture) with employer-funded scholarships for enrolled students.
  • A foreign secondary school certificate is accepted; ranking is by secondary GPA plus bonus points, with no separate paid entrance exam.
  • Mõdriku campus dormitory costs €60/month — among the cheapest student housing in the EU.

What to check

  • All degree programmes are taught in Estonian. English is used only for incoming exchange students — there is no English-taught degree route here.
  • Admission requires a group interview on every programme, held in Estonian; it is a pass/fail prerequisite, not a scored component.
  • A CIS applicant without Estonian at roughly B2 cannot enter at all — realistically this means a preparatory language year before applying.
  • No entry-level scholarships for international applicants; all listed awards require enrolment and, in most cases, a named Estonian-taught engineering programme from year 2.
  • Tallinn campus has no dormitory of its own — housing is outsourced to TalTech's student village, and the Kohtla-Järve site has no housing arrangement at all.
  • The university may bill tuition retroactively if the student falls more than 6 ECTS behind the cumulative plan, moves to part-time, or withdraws after day 70 of the semester.
