Housing services
Finding suitable accommodation can be sometimes challenging when you are coming to a new country. All new students are responsible themselves for making sure they have the necessary accommodation when entering Estonia for studies. The University can help by indicating the direction as to where to look for a place from.
The University is also mediating the places between dormitories and the students. It should be kept in mind though that applying for a dormitory place does not automatically mean that there is a place available. A lot of our students use private housing options.
Library services
The Tallinn University Academic Library includes the Research Library (Rävala pst 10), the Study Centre (Astra building, Narva mnt 29) and the Film and Media Library (Nova building, Narva mnt 27). With its more than 2.6 million information entities and extensive electronic resources, the Academic Library supports the acquisition of high-quality education.
Campus life
We are located in the centre of Tallinn, next to Kadriorg Park and the Tallinn bay. A strip of land next to Narva Road contains most of our educational, research and creative activities. Only a few areas of study are located outside the main campus.
Sports facilities
The Tallinn University Sports Club was created on 1 January 2009.
The club coordinates students sports, competitive sports, the usage of sports halls on the Tallinn University campus and the cooperation between Tallinn University and the Estonian Academic Sports Federation.
Student clubs
Tallinn University values all cultural and sportive activities. We encourage all our members (staff and students) to engage in cultural activities via our Symphony Orchestra, Men's Choir, Women's Choir, or the folk dance group Soveldaja.
Accreditation
In Estonia, only institutions of higher education which have passed the evaluation of quality of studies are allowed to provide higher education. This includes the right to issue state graduation certificates.

How Students Rated This University

Talland
I really liked how it started as a broad study with the following fields: Law, office management, marketing and business administration. What could be better is preparing for when the schools merged (used to be Horizoncollege) for all the IT problems.
Challenging but Rewarding
As a student in the management program at university Hassan 2 ain chock, I can attest to its challenging yet rewarding nature. The curriculum is rigorous, demanding a high level of dedication and hard work from its students. Many find the program difficult, and the dropout rate reflects the intensity of the academic expectations. However, for those who persevere and commit to their studies, the rewards are substantial.
Is it worth it?
I have been here for almost 3 years. I am in my final semester. This university seems good online, but have proven to be very difficult in person. The university is already very expensive, and they keep increasing the amount every year. When it comes to the learning curve, it is very poor. It depends on the course, but generally, they do not provide enough resources to learn what is needed to survive and make it in the professional world. Most lecturers do not let you pass their course just because of class attendance. The only good thing about this university would have to be the people, networks, and friends you make along the way. You can easily bond with them over the same experiences faced while studying at this uni. So if I have to be honest, I would not recommend this university to any student coming here, unless the school improves afterwards.
