Why choose Estonian University of Life Sciences?
Top-quality research
Estonian University of Life Sciences is one of the biggest and most renowned scientific institutions of Estonia. 
The biggest institution of science at the University is the Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, which comprises approximately 74% of the research financing at the University and approximately 5% of Estonian research financing.


The meeting point of basic and applied sciences
Estonian University of Life Sciences is renowned for its successful unification of basic and applied sciences. According to the Plant and Soil Sciences Research Evaluation Report of 2012, the University has succeeded in this crucial aspect more than other Estonian research institutions. 
The University has managed to stay focused on finding an answer to the question: why do we really do science? As a result, it has spanned from basic research to application in any meaningful way. There are constant meetings and conferences at the University, uniting researchers of basic and applied sciences and the stakeholders (i.e. all workers in a particular sector).


A wonderful campus
Tartu is really the University capital of Estonia and Estonian University of Life Sciences is the only university that can really boast about their classic university campus. All study, research, and other buildings are bound together by our integrated campus, making it only a 5-10 minute trip from one institution to another. The complex also includes student dorms and a modern Sports Building.
