25%, 50%, or 100% tuition reduction for one semester at a time, limited to specific English-taught programmes with a capped number of seats each (e.g. a handful of 100%-reduction seats in Educational Technology or International Relations; larger batches of 50% reduction in around 9 STEM programmes including Computer Science and Software Engineering MSc; 25% reduction in 5 humanities programmes). Re-checked this cycle: the removal of blanket tuition waivers for newly admitted non-EU/EEA students (noted below) is now in effect for the 2026/27 cohort, not just an announced future change.
First semester: based purely on your admission-score ranking, no separate application. From the second semester onward: full-time enrollment, not on academic leave, still within your programme's nominal duration, and at least 30 ECTS completed in the prior semester. Important context: starting the 2026/2027 academic year, Tartu stopped offering blanket tuition waivers to newly admitted non-EU/EEA students — this narrower, programme-specific reduction scheme replaced it, so costs here are trending upward for new entrants compared to previous years.
No separate deadline — reduction for your first semester is decided automatically as part of admission; later semesters are reassessed each term based on academic progress.
