Students once again rank the University of Tartu among the top three most attractive employers

In a nationwide survey on career expectations and employer reputation, students assessed the attractiveness of 326 organisations in Estonia. The University of Tartu ranked third among all students and first among humanities students.

At the Attractive Employers Day held in Tallinn on 4 September, employers were recognised with a quality label. Senior Specialist for Personnel Recruitment Kairi Herik received the award presented to the University of Tartu.

The University of Tartu also ranked third among all students last year. However, while the university placed seventh among humanities students in the previous survey, it rose to first place in that category this year.

This year marked the 17th time the marketing agency Instar conducted the survey, which covered 326 organisations. Nearly 4,000 university students, vocational education students and working professionals from a range of fields, including economics, information technology, construction, humanities, engineering and logistics, participated in the study, which ran from March to May. More information about the survey and its results (in Estonian) is available on the Instar marketing agency’s website.

The University of Tartu employs more than 4,500 people, of whom 58% are academic staff and 42% are support staff. The university offers its employees a comprehensive internal training system and supports the promotion of physical and mental wellbeing. It also places great importance on the equal treatment of all members of its community.
