Foreword by Vice-Rector
for Innovation and
Internationalisation
Mrs. Tea Varrak
Dear Students,
It is my pleasure to greet you on this exciting adventure you are about to embark upon!
Tallinn University of Technology, the only technological university in Estonia, is the flagship
of Estonian engineering and technology education. Here the synergy between different fields
(technological, natural, exact, social and health sciences as well as business) is generated and
new ideas are born.
Internationalisation is the key to success in a nowadays globalising world and the contribution of
our foreign students is essential in creating a multicultural environment of innovative solutions.
I am honoured that Tallinn University of Technology has managed to attract the highest number
of international students in Estonia!
Whether you are here for a semester or a whole degree (and maybe even two!), I urge you to
make the most of it – share your ideas and take in what is shared with you, learn from others
and also teach them, explore the beautiful and peaceful nature of Estonia and last but not least
– work hard but don’t forget to enjoy yourselves!
