• University of Tartu does not extend the deadline for submitting the required documents;
• paying the fee of 25 EUR enables you to choose two summer programmes at a maximum. All applicants are expected to give careful attention to the chosen programme(s)’ admission requirements prior to making the payment;
• the university will not refund payments made in error;
• unsuccessful applications which are resubmitted in the following admission period are not exempt from the requirement to pay the application fee.
