In summer 2026, the University of Tartu invites international students and lifelong learners to join the UniTartu Summer School, celebrating its fifth anniversary.

Since its launch in 2022, the summer school has brought together nearly 350 participants from 50 countries and has received very positive feedback. Over the years, it has grown into a vibrant international community that combines academic learning with cultural exchange.

From 27 July to 7 August 2026, participants can choose from 13 English-taught courses in science and technology, social sciences, arts and humanities. Courses take place mainly in Tartu, with one course offered in Viljandi. Study options last one or two weeks, allowing time to combine learning with summer travel.

In addition to academic courses, the programme includes cultural and social activities such as a visit to the University of Tartu Museum, a boat trip on the River Emajõgi, and excursions around Estonia.

Application period: 20 March – 20 April 2026
