For programmes taught in Estonian you need Estonian at the level your university sets. It is worth considering, because full-time programmes taught in Estonian are free at public universities (see: Tuition fees).
Most international students, however, choose one of more than 150 programmes taught in English. Estonian universities accept the popular certificates, including IELTS and TOEFL. Watch out for the details: the University of Tartu, for example, does not accept TOEFL ITP. You will find the minimum score in the programme description. You can browse all programmes in the Study in Estonia search engine.
