Exchange students study at Tallinn University for one semester or one academic year.
During your exchange studies, you have to follow your Learning Agreement. If you need to make changes to your Learning Agreement then the Changes to the Original Learning Agreement have to be signed by your Departmental Erasmus Coordinator at Tallinn University. The deadline for making changes to your Learning Agreement is the end of the first month of your studies. You can find the Learning Agreement form from www.tlu.ee/exchange.
Every semester you have to earn the number of credit points required by your home university. Tallinn University is offering a variety of courses in English (www.tlu.ee/courses). If no instruction in English is available, then some academic units offer the possibility to complete courses through independent study. Please contact your Departmental Erasmus Coordinator (www.tlu. ee/coordinators) for further information.
Your study results will be entered into the Studies Information System (ois.tlu.ee) by the academic units. By logging into the system, you can see your results. Some courses do not end with a graded exam (grades from A to F), but with a pass/fail test, which means a grade is not given. If you need a grade, you have to ask the lecturer at the beginning of the course whether s/he agrees to giving you a grade. Please ask the lecturer to forward your grade for a pass/fail course to the International Student Adviser by e-mail (exchange@tlu.ee). The result P (pass) cannot be changed in the Studies Information System, but the International Student Adviser will issue an additional document for you.
Before leaving Tallinn University you can obtain your Confirmation Letter and Transcript of Records (listing all your results for completed courses) from the International Student Adviser (room T-215). If your results have not been entered into the system by the time you leave, then please send an e-mail to exchange@tlu.ee once your results are entered and the Transcript will be sent to you.
If you want to prolong your studies at Tallinn University (deadline is December 1), please contact the International Student Adviser (exchange@tlu.ee).
If you have additional questions, you can turn to the International Student Adviser (exchange@ tlu.ee, room T-215), your tutor (www.tlu.ee/ tutors), Departmental Erasmus Coordinators (www.tlu.ee/coordinators), other staff in your academic unit, Career and Counselling Centre (www.tlu.ee/career-eng), International Club (www.esindus.ee/ic), Erasmus Student Network Tallinn (www.esn.ee/tallinn).
Every student belongs to one academic unit and each academic unit has their own Departmental Erasmus Coordinator who will help you with your studies at Tallinn University (selecting courses, signing the learning agreement,
etc). You can also ask for help from other Departmental Coordinators (www.tlu.ee/ coordinators).
NB! You can find more information for exchange students from www.tlu.ee/exchange.
