Academics

Creators of digital innovations, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) is leading Estonia and the world toward a sustainable digital future with confidence. As a leader in science, technology, and innovation, the school maintains constant interaction with universities around the world, bringing together scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. TalTech is also the most international university in Estonia. Of the nearly 10,000 enrolled students, approximately 16% come from more than 100 different countries across the globe.  

The university-wide initiative, TalTechDigital, implements new digital solutions for the entire university campus. The Smart City Centre of Excellence, established in 2020, brings the top expertise in smart urban space solutions to TalTech and makes the university슬롯사이트s compact and beautiful campus one of the smartest in the world.  

Founded in 1918, TalTech is the only technological university in Estonia. It is a research-based university offering bachelor슬롯사이트s, master슬롯사이트s, and doctorate degrees in technology, applied science, information technology, business, and maritime studies. Renewed study programs targeting the labor market needs to make TalTech graduates more marketable.  

TalTech strengths include STEM and business areas of study. Focus is placed not only on the theoretical field of STEM but also on putting this knowledge into practice and into business, like startups.  

Fall classes at TalTech end in December and official exams can take place in January. Spring classes at TalTech end in May and official exams can take place in early June. Early exams may be possible but must be confirmed on an individual basis with the professor of each course. Students may be able to take their exams early, though only if they request it at the start of the semester. Housing will be covered until all exams are completed. However, as it is impossible to confirm exam schedules prior to arrival, we advise students who wish to take their exams early to book an airline ticket with a low change fee or a flexible departure date.

ASU offers thousands of online courses in asynchronous 7.5-week sessions during the semester and 6-week sessions in the summer that fit within the 슬롯머신 academic calendar, so you can study abroad with 슬롯머신 while continuing to meet all your academic goals.

You슬롯사이트ll receive direct and individualized support from faculty, 100% online. Most ASU online courses are asynchronous, meaning there are no set log-in times, but make sure to verify this before the add/drop deadline in case you want to make a change.

Class Format

University classes are typically scheduled Monday through Friday. Classes at TalTech usually consist of around 20 students but can be as large as 50.

Most course materials you will need are available online. Since you are working mostly or entirely asynchronously, you슬롯사이트re given deadlines for your assignments by your instructor or in your syllabus, but you can work at your own pace within these due dates. Most instructors suggest a recommended pace to optimize your learning, but you have the flexibility to complete your ASU courses while pursuing your studies at your 슬롯머신 location.

Grading

Attendance is mandatory in 슬롯머신 courses, with absences impacting final grades. This emphasizes the importance of active participation and engagement in the learning process, encouraging students to fully commit to their academic pursuits. 

슬롯머신 reports all final course grades to students슬롯사이트 home institutions using a U.S. letter grade equivalent scale of A-F. For 슬롯머신-administered courses, students슬롯사이트 grades are based on attendance, class participation, homework, project work, presentations, and midterm and final examinations. Learning outcomes assessment is continuous through personal reflections, evaluation feedback, self-assessment, and requirements as set out in course syllabi.
