For Exchange Students

The college has more than 80 partners under the Erasmus+ programme all over Europe. Although we do not have any study programmes in English, we can offer contemporary practical training possibilities in more than 300 practice sites in different towns of Estonia. 

Tartu Health Care College has been awarded the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education 2021-2027.
The Erasmus Policy Statement can be found here.

Training in THCC

We are happy to see more and more exchange students spending 2 or more months in our practice bases. According to the feedback we have received, foreign students value highly the quality of the practice period spent here. Usually practice day will last 6 hours, but different agreements with hospital supervisors are also allowed. Although Tartu Health Care College is situated in Tartu, it does not automatically mean that all your practices will be carried out in Tartu, because we have more than 300 practice bases in all over the country.
We do hope it’ll be an excellent experience and eye-opener for you, if you decide to come in Estonia!
