Admission to Medicine

Please note that since May SAT tests were cancelled due Covid-19 outbreak, the admission requirements stated below are the exemptional requirements for 2020 admissions.

Requirements for 2021 intake will be updated during autumn 2020. NB! SAT test in Biology has been mandatory for applying for University of Tartu´s Medicine programme and it will be mandatory for 2021 intake as well!

Higher secondary education – please see country-specific document requirements here.
Applicants graduating according to the British system must submit at least 2 A Level exams (Those who graduate during summer 2020 can apply with either 4 AS levels or with 1 A level + 2 AS levels. 2 A levels must be presented by July 31, 2020)
SAT Subject Test in Biology E/M (minimum score 680) - updated on March 23, 2020
Due to cancellation of the SAT test session on May 2, 2020 (information on College Board website) the SAT Subject Test in Biology can be replaced with SAT Subject Test in Chemistry (minimum score 680) or applicant's state exam result in Biology or Chemistry (the result must be at least 70% of the maximum result). Only exams which are coordinated and carried out by the national examination centres will be considered. The results of the state exams must be submitted to the UT by June 5 at the latest. Note! The school exam results or high school graduation grades will not be considered. For any concerns, plase contact admissions [ät] ut.ee
SAT Subject Test scores from June will not be accepted for 2020/2021 intake.
Finnish applicants: the Matriculation Examination results graded at least magna cum laude approbatur (M) 5 are accepted.
For IB students grade 5 or higher is accepted.
For A-Level students at least grade 6 or B is accepted.
English language proficiency - updated on March 19, 2020
Taking the SAT Subject Test in Biology E/M or Chemistry also proves applicant's proficiency in English language, therefore submitting a proof of English language proficiency is not required. The candidates who replace the SAT score with the state exam result must submit a proof of English proficiency (please see acceptable tests and exempt categories here)

Applications are evaluated based on

SAT Subject Test in Biology E/M or Chemistry score or state exam result in Biology or Chemistry (yields 70% of the final score)
the score of the motivation letter (yields 30% of the final score)

The maximum score is 100 points. The application will be considered for admission if a score of 66 points or higher is achieved. Further information on assessing candidates' academic performance and calculating admissions' score.

Application process for internatonal students

The following information applies to international students and Estonian students who graduated abroad.

Step 1 | Submitting the online application

Application system opens on 2 January and closes on 15 April. The following electronic documents must be submitted via DreamApply by 15 April:

online application
motivation letter - The motivation letter is a part of the application form, and cannot be sent separately. Guidelines and evaluation criteria for the motivation letter are also included in the online application form;
official copy of the secondary school certificate and grade list in the original language;
certified translations of the secondary school certificate and grade list into English;
result of SAT test in Biology E/M or Chemistry (minimum score 680) or state exam result in Biology or Chemistry (the result must be at least 70% of the maximum result). The state exam results must be submitted by June 5, 2020 at the latest;
proof of English language proficiency - the proof is not required if you have received a score of 680 or higher from the SAT Subject Test in Biology E/M or Chemistry;
copy of the passport page stating the applicant´s personal particulars

All international applicants are required to pay the application fee EUR 50, unless they have completed the previous study level in Estonia. An application will only be processed after the fee has been received by the UT. Read more about paying the application fee.

Incomplete applications or those submitted by e-mail will not be considered.

NB! Applicants graduating in 2020 and having their secondary school certificate issued later than the application deadline, should electronically submit their most recent official grade list by the required deadline along with the rest of the required documents.

* IBO school graduates can order the results to be sent electronically to the University of Tartu via http://www.ibo.org/.

* Applicants graduating according to the British system must submit at least 2 A Level exams (Those who graduate during summer 2020 can apply with either 4 AS levels or with 1 A level + 2 AS levels. 2 A levels must be presented by July 31, 2020)

We do not accept the results from the SAT test taken in the beginning of June 2020 for this year intake.
Please note that only official SAT score reports sent straight from the testing centre are accepted. The score recipient code for the University of Tartu is 6424.

If you applied last year as well and already sent the required documents by post, it might not be necessary to resubmit all documents by post this year. Please contact the Student Admissions for details.

Important information for Finnish applicants
The list of admission requirements given above also applies to Finnish applicants, including the SAT Subject Test in Biology E/M or Chemistry.
Regarding secondary education documents, applicants from Finland must submit an officially certified copy of the upper secondary school leaving certificate (Lukion päästötodistus) and of the matriculation examination certificate in Finnish, also certified translations of both documents into English.

Guide to submitting electonic application on DreamApply.

Step 2 | Evaluation and announcement of admission results

Applicants will receive feedback, notifications and official admission offers through the DreamApply system to their e-mail. The decisions on applications will be made based on the electronic copies added to DreamApply.

The admission results will be announced by 15 June at the latest. Admitted candidates are expected to accept or decline the offer in 7 days. If the decision is not communicated to the university by the stipulated deadline, we reserve the right to withdraw the admission offer.

NB! It is not possible to postpone the beginning of studies to the next academic year.

Terms and conditions of the admission offer
The admission offers are conditional. This means, there are conditions in the offer which the applicant needs to fulfil in order to be admitted (e.g. sending application documents by post; obtaining the required level of education). If the conditions are not met, the admission offer can be withdrawn.

The university reserves the right to withdraw or amend any offer or revoke the matriculation of a student, if it becomes evident that the application contains fraudulent information, the qualification does not provide access to the chosen study programme or the student is found to have omitted key information from the application. Should such circumstances occur, the university will not be liable for any material or immaterial loss which the student may suffer as a result.

Step 3 | Sending the documents by post

All admitted students are required to send the application documents by post to: Student Admissions, University of Tartu, Ülikooli 18-132, Tartu 50090, ESTONIA.

The hard copies of the documents are expected to be sent by post only by those receiving the admission offer (unless instructed otherwise by the admissions staff).The documents must reach the university within 3 weeks from the announcement of the offer. If the application documents do not reach the us by the deadline, the university has the right to withdraw the admission offer. Applicants will be informed when their documents have arrived.

Requirements for educational documents
All copies of educational documents (secondary school certificate and grade list/transcript) must be officially certified. Certified copies should bear an original signature and seal of the authority certifying that these are true copies of the original. The documents can be certified either:

by an authorised official of the issuing institution
by a notary
with an Apostille attached

Important information for non-EU applicants: country-specific requirements also specify the way documents must be certified.

The university does not accept simple copies made on the basis of already certified copies (primary copies are needed).

NB! All admitted students are required to present their original qualification certificates upon arrival (unless these were sent directly from the issuing institution).

Step 4 | Receiving the official admission letter

The official admission letter will be sent to accepted students by e-mail only after reviewing hard copies of the application documents. The admission letter sent electronically is sufficient for non-EU students applying for visa/residence permit at an Estonian embassy.

Step 5 | Welcome to the UT!

Once the admission letter is issued, accepted students may proceed further with arranging their arrival. All non-EU students should first consult information on the process of visa and temporary residence permit application to be sure, as where and when the relevant documents need to be applied. Note that housing at the UT dormitories can be applied during a limited period of time, unless specified otherwise on the website. When preparing for travel to Estonia, check the relevant information from UT Welcome Web.

Based upon common queries, the most important information has been summarised into a pre-arrival information leaflet available on the UT Getting Started website.

OPEN ALL STEPS

Estonian applicants should apply via National Admission Information Systems (SAIS). Further information in Estonian.

Applicants interested in transfer

UT has a course system, which means that in order to take courses from second or higher year, the student must successfully finish all the courses from previous year(s). Due to differences in educational systems and curricula, it is very unlikely that an applicant from another university could transfer all required courses from the previous year(s) and therefore the Faculty of Medicine does not accept transfer students.

If you are interested in studying at UT, please apply for admission to start as a first year student. If admitted, it might be possible to transfer some courses and credits.
