Science and Technology University of Tartu

Overview

At the international three-year bachelor’s programme in Science and Technology  students study subjects that provide good basic knowledge and prepare them to work with modern technologies and materials. Later, it is possible to choose a suitable field of specialisation based on the knowledge acquired about different areas. Students can choose a combined specialisation in genetics and biotechnology, bioengineering and robotics, or chemistry and materials science.
