Tartu College of Tallinn University of Technology was founded in 2007. The predecessor of the College was Institute of Sustainable Technology, established in 2005. Tartu College is a branch of Tallinn University of Technology with its own board, curricula and students, located in its own campus. The mission of Tartu College is to provide university-level education and co-ordinate research work and development projects supporting the development of South-Estonian region in the fields of engineering and sustainable technology. Tartu College and other regional colleges of Estonian universities form a network of competence centers that support balanced regional development of the country. Although the language of instruction in the College is Estonian, we are happy to welcome English-speaking exchange students and visiting professors at our campus. We are moving towards multi-linguistic educational environment.
