International admission to the University of Tartu has started

The University of Tartu invites international students interested in English-taught curricula to submit their applications in DreamApply. Studies will start at the beginning of September 2025. 

This year, the University of Tartu offers admission to 29 curricula, including 26 master’s programmes, two bachelor’s programmes and an integrated curriculum in Medicine. 

Applicants can use the curriculum search system that gives an overview of the available programmes, has a convenient search option and helps find a programme that best suits their needs. Both those who will graduate in summer 2025 and those who have graduated in the previous years are welcome to apply. 

This year, the master’s programme in Philosophy underwent a significant reform. The updated programme equips students to address today’s global challenges – climate change, ageing populations, technological automation, and more – through well-founded philosophical reasoning and defensible solutions. Starting in 2026, the programme will be renamed Philosophy in Practice. 

Additionally, admissions for the two master’s programmes – Disinformation and Societal Resilience, and Entrepreneurship for Economic Policymaking – are now also open in spring. Previously, students were admitted in September for the spring semester. Studies on Disinformation and Societal Resilience begin now in September, while studies on Entrepreneurship for Economic Policymaking continue to start in the spring semester. 

Prospective students are welcome to join the Virtual Open Day 2025 on 16 January to hear more about the University of Tartu, the admission requirements, how to apply, the student life, and to attend programme info sessions.  

Applications to international master’s studies can be submitted until 15 March, and applications to bachelor’s studies and integrated studies in Medicine until 15 April. However, there is one exception – the application deadline for the Erasmus Mundus joint master’s programme Excellence in Analytical Chemistry, coordinated by the University of Tartu, is 5 January.  

Application requirements depend on the curriculum. For detailed information, see the web page of the particular curriculum. Estonian applicants can start submitting their applications to international curricula in the admission information system SAIS on 1 February. For more information, see the University of Tartu admissions website in English or in Estonian.
