5 Language Degree Programs in Estonia

The 2-year master's programme in Estonian and Finno-Ugric Languages (EFUL) is unique in combining in-depth language learning with comprehensive, English-based studies in linguistics. We offer specialisations in either Estonian or Finno-Ugric Languages. Whichever you choose, you will have access to shared modules on theoretical and methodological aspects of synchronic and diachronic linguistics, with an emphasis on active language learning, combining theory and practice. The programme also emphasises the development of digital skills. It offers modules on computational linguistics and programming in collaboration with the University of Tartu's Centre for Digital Humanities and Information Society.

The master's programme provides knowledge and skills in a modern or classical language and culture.

It is a well-established fact that the best way to learn a foreign language is to visit a country where it is spoken.  Estonia’s historical connection provides students with one of the best opportunities to learn Russian in the region. The teachers in the course are all native speakers of Russian and they all use the most up-to-date teaching materials. Furthermore, the course offers a real opportunity for genuine communication in Russian – while at the same time offering European standards of safety and service.

Across the globe, millions of people can speak English, but only one million speak Estonian. The language is part of the Finno-Ugric group, related to Finnish and Hungarian. Tallinn University’s winter course in Estonian Language and Culture offers an opportunity to study an unusual and entrancing language, all against the backdrop of a well-preserved medieval city.

This course is ideal for anyone looking to improve their writing skills in English and is the perfect preparation for the written component of IELTS, Cambridge English and TOEFL exams, as well as for those who are just looking to practice and improve their general written English.
