General guidelines and information related to studying at the University of Tartu are available on the university’s study organisation webpage. There you can find information on topics such as registering for courses, choosing modules, academic leave, and study leave. We also recommend familiarising yourself with the University of Tartu’s good practice of learning, which sets out the shared principles of students, teaching staff, and the university for creating a supportive and effective learning environment.

Additional guidelines and regulations can also be found on the Faculty of Social Sciences website.
