Universities

Estonian Academy of Arts

The forerunner of the present-day Estonian Academy of Arts was the Tallinn Applied Art School of the Estonian Society of Art, founded in 1914.

Estonian Academy of Arts (EAA) is the only institution in Estonia offering education at university level in the fields of art and design.

Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre 

The EAMT is public university, which provides academic higher education to musicians, musicologists, music teachers and actors, directors and dramaturgs. In the dramatic art speciality, the studies are conducted on the first and second levels of higher education, in the music specialities on all three levels.
 
In addition to traditional specialities of music and dramatic art, studies at the academy also include electronic music and cultural management, which, in essence, are interdisciplinary specialities: electronic music binds composition with music technology and multimedia, cultural management unites arts and economics.

Estonian Academy of Security Sciences

The Estonian Academy of Security Sciences is a state institution, providing professional education for civil servants belonging in the area of government under the Estonian Ministry of the Interior. The Academy was established in 1992 after Estonia regained its independence.

The objective of the EASS is, through internal security related academic education, research and development activities, and also through the training of honest and competent public servants, to create a secure state and conditions for stable development across the state of Estonia and therewith contribute to the security of the entire European Union (EU).

Estonian Business School

EBS is a private business school of university standing, offering Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate level programs in the field of business administration, public administration and information technology management. When EBS was founded in 1988, it was the first institution in Estonia to introduce diploma business education. since business administration did not exist in the soviet university syllabi, there was no teaching tradition, no faculty and no textbooks: a difficult starting position.  Today, the situation is much more favorable, but Estonia is still not Great Britain, and the Estonian Business School is not (and does not claim to be) the London Business School. Adapting to the Estonian context has meant, for example, that EBS uses many practitioners and higher level managers as lecturers for its courses, and that EBS acknowledges and appreciates that most of its students work full-time or part-time in addition to studying. Another factor is that we have used both English and Estonian as languages of instruction, thus preparing preparing students for the Estonian market and beyond.
