Link with the Strategic Plan

Tallinn University of Technology is a key driver of the Estonian economy.

High quality research is conducted at Tallinn University of Technology, giving rise to applications, teaching and learning as well as research-intensive innovation. Our research outcomes are published in high quality journals, and theses defended at the university are mostly based on said research.

Our graduates are able to solve complex real world problems with an evidence based mindset, practical engineering skills, good self-management and cooperation skills as well as an entrepreneurial drive. They are prepared to take on responsibility for the development of the Estonian economy whilst being in high demand on the international labour market.

To this end we develop teaching and learning at Tallinn University of Technology in collaboration with stakeholders so that our graduates leave with a modern high quality specialty education based on natural and social sciences. Our alumni adopt the values of the university, and through them the ideas and knowledge of our best researchers impact the economy and society.

We shall enhance our international standing by cooperating with top-ranked universities and research-intensive companies throughout the world. To that end we shall lay the foundations for the most impactful centre for engineering and economics education in Europe in collaboration with EuroTeQ/EuroTech universities.

We shall invest more in creating intellectual property. We shall protect intellectual property created on behalf of the university where it helps us to apply our research achievements for the creation of a better society.

Project and problem based learning constitute an integral part of all our curricula; successful entrepreneurs, managers and leading experts contribute to the students’ education.

Tallinn University of Technology is visible in Estonia and internationally. We encourage the academic university community to interact with the general public, to be able to explain our scientific accomplishments to the public at large as well as raise interest in research and engineering education.
