About Esthonia
Estonia is the northernmost of the three Baltic states, bordering Latvia in the South and Russia in the East, while the Southern tip of Finland is just a stone’s throw away across the sea. Estonia is one of the least-populous countries in Europe, with just 1.3 million inhabitants. About a third of the country’s population live in its capital, Tallinn.
Estonia has spent much of its history under foreign rule, most recently as a part of the Soviet Union. Having regained its independence in 1991, Estonia has oriented strongly towards Western Europe and reformed and modernised itself with impressive success.
The government’s push for innovation, digitisation and the removal of bureaucracy has born fruit. Estonia is today one of the most-prosperous former communist countries, where a modern, open-minded society enjoys a high standard of living.

Please visit the Scholarships section on our website to see an overview of scholarships and grants offered by the Estonian government for international students, researchers and academic staff.
If you are applying through the national admissions portal DreamApply then you can apply for up to two programmes in one university and up to 5 different universities (so 10 programmes all together) with one application.
Some Estonian universities require an application fee. If the university, where you are applying to requires an application fee, then yes, it should be covered in order for your application to be processed. An application fee is a fixed price which is paid per application and only once per university. So if you apply for two programmes taught by the same university, you only pay the application fee once. If you apply for programmes in different universities, which require an application fee, then you have to cover the application fees of all those universities. Application fees vary between 30-100€ and some universities don’t have an application fee at all.
