Estonia

Full-time programmes taught in Estonian are free at public universities – the University of Tartu confirms this, for example. All doctoral programmes are free as well.

English-taught programmes usually charge fees. According to Study in Estonia, bachelor's and master's tuition ranges from €1,500 to €15,000 a year, with the highest fees in medicine, law, management and social sciences. Universities may charge EU and non-EU students differently, and some programmes are free. Examples:

• University of Tartu – the English-taught bachelor's in Business Administration costs €4,200 a year. For 2026/27 the university is admitting students to 25 international master's programmes, 16 of which are free for EU citizens. From 2026/27 Tartu no longer offers tuition waivers to newly admitted students from outside the EU/EEA,
• TalTech – EU citizens in full-time English-taught programmes pay no tuition at the schools of engineering, IT and science or at the Estonian Maritime Academy. Fees apply at the School of Business and Governance – in 2026/27, for example, €2,500 per semester for some programmes.

Students from outside the EU/EEA at TalTech pay €1,900 to €4,200 per semester in 2026/27, depending on the programme. Fees change every year – check the current amount on the programme page.
