This application is for students who have met the eligibility requirements and been selected for this program by their department.

Established in 1988, Estonian Business School (EBS) is a specialist business educational institution located in the Baltic country’s capital city, Tallinn. Monash has developed a special program for students of Tourism to spend a semester studying and working in Estonia.

Program Overview

Master of Tourism and Master of International Sustainable Tourism Management students undertake an exchange semester at the Estonian Business School from 1 September – 15 December.

Students complete 12 points (15 ECTS) of exchange credit from the EBS MBA program and take the unit APG5044 Industry Internship for 12 points (Summer A) to work on a specific consultancy research project with the Estonian Tourism Industry.

Academic Highlights

Over 30% of EBS’s student body are international students. EBS teaches entrepreneurship and business administration in a practical manner at Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral levels.

Location

Centrally located, the EBS campus is five minutes’ walk from the Old Town in Tallin. Both modern and medieval, Tallinn is also the cultural capital of Estonia, a welcoming city with bars, cafes, museums, and city squares as well as a thriving food scene.

EBS was the first privately owned tertiary educational institution in Estonia, and it was also the first Soviet university to offer business studies in English.

Accommodation

The Estonian Business School does not provide on-campus accommodation. It does assist you in finding private accommodation.

Visas

If you hold a current Australian or Malaysian passport you do not need a visa to enter a Schengen region – this includes Estonia – if your intended stay is of no more than 90 days in a six-month period. If you intend to stay longer than 90 days you are likely to need a Long-stay (D) visa.  More information about this is available on the Embassy of Estonia, Canberra, website under the link Consular Information. EBS also provides some information about visas.

Health and insurance

Non-Estonian and EU citizens who do not have European medical insurance must have their own health insurance. When travelling on a Monash Abroad approved program, you are automatically covered under the Monash University Student Travel Insurance policy.

Orientation and extra-curricular 

The orientation organised by the Estonian Business School is compulsory for exchange students. It is held just prior to the start of semester. In addition, all incoming exchange students will be assigned a tutor/buddy by EBS International Club to help with the practical everyday matters during their stay in Tallinn.
