Intake 2021

The tuition fee for fee-paying students is 3,800 euros per year. Altogether 25 study places are available on the programme. On the basis of the admission results 5 best applicants (regardless of citizenship) will be given tuition waivers. Applicants do not have to apply for the tuition waiver separately, as they will be considered automatically for the competition.

NB! Applicants who receive a fee-based study place offer and are not citizens of the member states of the EU, EEA or Switzerland and do not hold a long-term residence permit in any of these countries are required to pay half of the semester fee after they have been informed of the admission decision (offer) via DreamApply. The official admission letter (necessary for visa application) will only be issued once the University of Tartu has received this payment. The second half of the semester fee is to be paid after the studies have started, by 20 September.

Further information about the rules and conditions for tuition waivers as well as tuition fee payments is given here.

Ask a student

"Since the final years of high school, I started to see that a strong foundation of entrepreneurial and marketing skills and an understanding of business environments are rapidly gaining more significance in a modern, fast-paced world. Therefore, my burning desire to study business administration was kindled through the valuable opportunities it gives a student to acquire a detailed knowledge of business disciplines. The programme focuses on all major functional areas of business and integrates practical learning as part of the studies but simultaneously leads to many possibilities and career paths for future professional growth.

Having considered the curriculum of the Business Administration programme and an impeccable reputation of the University of Tartu, I was strongly convinced that my ambition to thrive intellectually will be even more fulfilled and encouraged during the next several years of studying on this programme."
