Overview

To study International Relations in Tallinn is a unique experience, starting from our international faculty (from local scholars to visiting faculty from Canada, Finland, the USA, Germany and more) to realising that the programme sits where major global debates play out in practice: digital governance, hybrid threats, post-imperial transitions, European security, and the environmental pressures shaping the region. This creates a setting where theory and lived experience can be examined side by side.

The programme focuses on foreign and security policy (incl. the small-state perspectives) and regional cooperation in world politics. Provides in-depth knowledge of state relations, international organizations, and the role of non-state actors. But among this the programme offers flexibility in the framework of innovative traching methods to ensure that students are able to make the most of their education.
