Overview
The three-year international bachelor’s programme in Science and Technology offers innovative content, drawing from key areas taught in the Faculty of Science and Technology. It provides a broad overview of natural and exact sciences and technologies.
In the first year, 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.
Why study Science and Technology?
- The University of Tartu belongs to the top 350 universities in the world.
- You can choose between three specialisations: genetics and biotechnology, bioengineering and robotics, or chemistry and materials science. You do not have to decide immediately: try out different fields and make your choice in the second year.
- Explore a wide range of study-related extracurricular activities, including participation in student satellite project ESTCube and the biggest synthetic biology competition in the world, iGEM, which was won by our students in 2023.
- Graduates can continue their studies in natural science or work for technology companies.
