TOP 5 REASONS TO CHOOSE EUAS

Among the many reasons for choosing Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences (EUAS) five stand out.

EUAS is an international university with students from all over the world. Our students have a choice of studying in either Estonian, English or Russian. Our curricula are developed in sync with corporate partners across borders and our teaching staff hail from an international network of like-minded universities.

We are small but focused, keeping enrolment and the day-to-day bureaucracy to a minimum and our attention where it belongs - offering our students the best possible entrepreneurship training. Our 1600 students make us the market leader of private higher education in Estonia.

We are a university of entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs and for (future) entrepreneurs. At EUAS, we try to make people learn valuable lessons from others' successes as well as mistakes. We offer our students intense contact with the business world throughout their studies in the form of visiting lectures, regular informal meetups and internships. On average our graduates earn more than graduates from Tallinn University or University of Tartu, the large Estonian public universities.

We are located in Tallinn, one of Europe's startup hot spots with ever-enhancing opportunities to find the right team, shape the right product, raise funds and take off with your idea. For aspirations in an intrapreneurial career, look no further than our good neighbours and internship-partners from the various high-value industries at Ülemiste City the innovation campus dubbed "the Silicon Valley of the North".

Easily accessible and low-cost location. Estonia is well-connected to any part of the world and the living costs (accommodation, food, transportation) are much more reasonable than in Scandinavia and the UK for instance. It's all the world's opportunities with no hassle and all the more fun.
EUAS is a university for driven people who are after the next big thing.
Challenge life before it challenges you!
Welcome!

Erasmus+ programme additional support

Students who have qualified for the need-based study allowance (paid by the Estonian state) or special need-based allowance (paid by the university) for the semester before exchange studies, or for the semester of exchange studies, are entitled to additional scholarship of 200 € /month, given they present a proof and application to EUAS Erasmus+ Coordinator. For the need-based allowance, the proof is to be taken by the student him-/herself from the Estonian state portal (name of the file you have to find is written in Estonian "OTSUS"). For the special need-based allowance, the proof about whether the student has been assigned the named allowance is checked by the Erasmus+ Coordinator.

NB! In case the student wants to apply for the Erasmus+ additional support and has qualified for either one of the allowances, there are two possible times to present the proof and application: (1) if allowance was assigned for the semester before exchange studies, then the proof and application have to be presented to EUAS Erasmus+ Coordinator before signing the Erasmus+ Scholarship Agreement; (2) if allowance was assigned for the semester of exchange studies, then the proof and application have to be presented during 30 days starting from the day of being awarded the allowance.

Estonian Government scholarship

Estonian Government scholarship will be paid as follows:

400 € - a one-time payment for the students who are going to study at the higher living cost countries.
200 € - a one-time payment for the students who are going to study at the medium living cost countries.
150 € - a one-time payment for students who are going to study at the lower living cost countries.

Principles regulating paying out the scholarship

The exchange studies' period (mobility period) is calculated on a per day basis. The beginning and end date of the mobility are certified in the Scholarship Agreement. The actual length of the mobility period shall be certified in the confirmation letter issued by the host university at the end of exchange studies.
The student will receive 70% of the total EC scholarship before the start of the mobility, and the remaining 30% when he/she has returned to home university, has presented all the end of the mobility documents, and if his/her mobility period has not shortened. The Estonian Government scholarship is paid out fully before the start of the exchange studies.
In case the dates on the confirmation letter certify the shortened mobility period, then at the end of the exchange studies the student shall receive the smaller amount from the remaining 30% of the European Commission scholarship (depending on how many days earlier the student returned), or if student's mobility shortened significantly, the student is asked to pay back for the overpaid days.
