What’s new in the organisation of studies in 2026/2027

  • The Higher Education Act has been amended to clarify the rules on tuition-free studies. Under the act, a student must pay the tuition fee if they have been enrolled to study free of charge at the same level of higher education on two previous occasions, and less than ten years have passed since their most recent exmatriculation. A further clarification has been added: if exmatriculation takes place within 30 days of matriculation, this will not count as a period of tuition-free study. More information about restrictions on tuition-free studies is available on the university website.
  • Rematriculation (re-inclusion in the student register) may now be applied for after one year has passed since exmatriculation, instead of two years. Please note that students exmatriculated for improper behaviour may still apply for rematriculation when at least two years have passed since exmatriculation.
  • See also tuition fees for 2026/2027.
  • Conditions for granting tuition fee reductions to students matriculated to non-Estonian-taught studies as of the 2026/2027 academic year.
