Tips for course selection:
- Please select the courses only from the catalogue for International Studies which gathers all English taught subjects at TTK UAS for each academic year. Other courses are taught exclusively in Estonian.
- Choose courses that align with your field of study. You may also add elective subjects offered by the Centre for Humanities and Economics and the Centre for Sciences to your selection. These centers provide general elective courses designed to complement specialized studies, and they are open to students from all fields of study.
- Courses offered within institute modules are specialized and often require prior knowledge of the subject area. However, some exceptions allow students from other fields to enroll. Be sure to carefully review the information for each subject to confirm its suitability for your background. Your final selection will be reviewed and approved during the application process.
- Please please pay close attention to the semester in which each course is offered to ensure compatibility with your study plan. Below the modules, under the tab “Typical study plan” the course offering is sorted by semester.
- Overlaps in the schedule may occur if you select courses from different academic units. In case of an overlapping schedule, you may have to change your Learning Agreement.
- Some subjects are only offered to our sessional study students who attend classes once a month during their study sessions and therefore might fall on Saturdays.
- Please note that there are two options for evaluation of the learning outcome: graded/ differential (graded prelim or examination) or not graded/non-differential (prelim). In case of non-differential assessment method, the student will not be given a grade, but the subject will be assessed either as “Passed” or “Failed” accordingly.
- Please note that the Institute of Service Economy is located about 100 kms east of Tallinn, in Mõdriku village. If you choose subjects from their offer, some travel might be necessary from time to time!
