Basics of Physical Movement
Subjects must be declared in the TalTech study information system OIS.
Bachelor's, master's and doctoral students can declare Basics of Physical Movement courses twice during their studies for free of charge. The declaration of courses, similarly to every other course, goes through the study information system ÕIS: when declaring in the autumn semester, select code MK 3001 “Basics of Physical Movement I” and when declaring in the spring semester, select code MK 3002 “Basics of Physical Movement II”. Both subjects are 3 ECTS. MK 3001 is not a prerequisite for MK 3002.
The subject course is considered to be passed if the student has:
- participated in AT LEAST 24 trainings
- completed the independent work
- completed a self-analysis in the Moodle environment
After passing both courses (MK 3001 and MK 3002) a student has a possibility to train free of charge until graduating from university on the same conditions as the training times in the course.
When declaring the course, the head coach of the most likely attended sports must be chosen:
- Group training - Sirli Roosve

Visiting Students and Students of the Open University
Six Estonian higher education institutions (Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn University, University of Tartu, Estonian Academy of Arts, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre) have concluded an agreement under which students can listen to lectures in another higher education institution, where the level of the quality of studies is mutually acceptable.
The students of other higher education institutions can study in Tallinn University of Technology through Open University, where a tuition fee is charged for the studies.
How to become a visiting student at TalTech?
To become a visiting student of physical education, you need to submit a Visiting Student Application. More information how to submit the Visiting Student Application can be found here.
In order to participate in studies, the visiting students must declare the subject not later than by the deadline laid down in the academic calendar.
Recognition of the courses
Upon completion of the study period, the dean's office of the faculty shall issue an academic transcript (in the Estonian and English language) to the visiting student or forward it, at the request of the student, to his/her home university.
You can find more detailed information on the courses provided at Tallinn University of Technology from the TalTech study information system.
Students of the Open University can take the course at the Tallinn University of Technology under the same conditions as ordinary students. It is necessary to declare the subject and fulfill the study conditions (read text above).

Instead of a student card, the student must come to the sports club on site and apply for an alternative card, but a deposit of € 10 must be paid for it, which can be returned after returning the card at the end of the training period!
Card can be applied for from the beginning of the semester on the second floor of TalTech Sports Club.
