MSc in Software Engineering imparts general software engineering skills and specialized skills in enterprise systems and embedded real-time systems. The international master’s programme in Software Engineering offers general software engineering and management skills and specialised skills in two major software application domains: enterprise systems and embedded real-time systems. The programme is delivered jointly by Estonia’s two largest universities: the University of Tartu and TalTech. Students graduating from this programme obtain degrees from both universities. The programme prepares students for high-end technical or managerial roles at the most respected technology companies. The programme is closely related to the tech industry, and the students get opportunities to receive practice at the partner companies.

This programme prepares you to address evolving urban challenges and lead innovations in sustainable urban mobility. It empowers students to become future urban leaders by embracing complexity and competence beyond the traditional urban planning and civil engineering disciplines.

Materials Science and Technology is a master’s program with a focus on developing and commercializing new materials and their applications. Studies of materials science and the basics of entrepreneurship are combined with activities aimed at creating a product and its manufacturing technology.

The programme trains highly qualified roboticists, computer and space engineers.

The Master in Innovation in Bioengineering trains specialists with a comprehensive understanding of automation technologies and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern bioengineering, synthetic biology, and biotechnology. It aims to educate professionals with an innovative mindset.

Robotics Engineering is a new level in engineering, manufacturing and technology training. Robotics deals mainly with industrial robotics, modern production equipment, product development and electronics, as well as drones, self-propelled boats and cars, and agricultural and robotic household appliances.

A Master of Science in Marine Engineering knows the different sectors of the maritime industry and demonstrates diverse engineering competence. As a graduate, he or she is an expert in designing and building ships or other marine structures. In the constantly developing maritime industry, the graduate of the MSc program in Marine Engineering is able to respond to the challenges of the green transition: developing marine structures from sustainable materials, refitting vessels for their transfer to climate-neutral fuels, or constructing floating offshore wind turbines.

The new study program Software Development and Entrepreneurship is for you if you want to have the software development, design and teamwork skills to begin your career as a software developer in Estonia or anywhere in the world. This is also the program for you if you're looking for a solid foundation in IT and business upon which to build your own software company or startup.

The programme focuses on the following topics: Production Engineering - Planning & Control, Strategic & Financial Management, Supply Chain Management, Quality Management, Rapid Product Development, Production Planning and Management, Production Digitalisation, Internet of Things for Industry and Innovation.

The main responsibility of an electrical engineer is to comply with and monitor compliance with legal and standard requirements in order to ensure electrical safety and the correctness of installations. As the field develops rapidly, the corresponding engineers are in demand in both the domestic and foreign labor markets, both at the specialist and manager level.

In today’s technological society, engineers need to know their way around a field spanning from high-tech materials to unmanned aerial vehicles. We need increasingly more engineers whose knowledge is not limited to a single narrow subject, who can tie their knowledge and skills to IT, business and process management, product development, design and the digitalization of production.

The interdisciplinary study of maritime and information technology provides an understanding of digitalization in the maritime sector, but also the economic and environmental challenges of the maritime sector where processes could be improved with the help of information technology. In addition, the students are given an opportunity to continue their studies on a doctoral level where they could further study and develop some topics in depth.
