Internship at TalTech

Individual supervising/internship/project at our university is offered only when the student has a direct contact with our professor, who is willing to do voluntary work, as international exchange student’s individual supervision is not part of our processors’ academic career. This applies also for students who use Erasmus+ Recent Graduate scholarship. Minimum internship period has to be 2 months.

How to find a supervisor at Tallinn University of Technology by yourself? 

You can search for the supervisor through our webpage https://www.taltech.ee/en/ > About the University > Schools/Departments > Choose a School > Departments. You can find the contact list under every department.

STEP 1: In order to apply for an internship position, please send your motivation letter, transcript of records, proposed exchange dates and work-plan to the professor you have chosen.

STEP 2: When accepted by the professor, please contact incoming@taltech.ee for further steps.
