In addition to vocalists and instrumentalists, conductors, composers, musicologists, music teachers and sound engineers are ...also trained in Bachelor’s programmes.
The mission of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre is to contribute to the development of a human-centred Estonian society, the spread of a creative mindset and the preservation of the Estonian language and culture through education in the fields of music and theatre and the promotion of creative and research work.
EAMT values the preservation of the inherent values of the Estonian national culture and maintaining the academic traditions of European music and theatre education, while being open to the latest developments in the world of music and theatre.
EAMT is a public university of music and drama, offering higher education in all major fields of music and theatre through bachelor, master and doctoral programmes. Although with its approximately 700 students EAMT is the smallest among six Estonian public universities and university-level higher education institutions, internationally it can be compared to medium-sized music and theatre academies.
Bachelor programmes provide training for vocalists and instrumentalists, as well as conductors, composers, musicologists, music teachers and sound engineers. Master’s programmes also offer additional education and training in chamber music, accompaniment, contemporary improvisation and cultural management. The curricula for musicians focus on soloist, ensemble and orchestral performance or opera; music theory and history, as well as other fields in the humanities are also studied. It is also possible to obtain teaching qualifications.
The Drama School at EAMT (Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre) prepares actors, directors and playwrights. The students of EAMT can additionally select courses from other Estonian public universities.
In autumn 2011 a joint master’s programme in traditional music was launched with the University of Tartu, Viljandi Culture Academy. In the following autumn, studies began in two new joint master’s programmes: the Music Education programme in collaboration with the University of Tartu, Viljandi Culture Academy, and the Cultural Management programme in collaboration with the Estonian Business School.
From 2010 to 2013 a two-year joint master’s programme in contemporary performance and composition offering students an open platform for experimental artistic practice within a European setting was developed under the auspices of LLP Erasmus Curriculum Development Project. The programme consortium includes the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, the Conservatoire National Supérieur Musique et Danse in Lyon and the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre.
All students who are not Estonian citizens or EU citizens (including EEA countries and Switzerland) need a temporary residence permit for study. EU citizens should obtain a temporary right of residence in Estonia.
Please note that Estonia does not issue a "study visa", all NON-EU students should apply for temporary residence permit for studying (TRP). When certain conditions are met, then it is possible to apply for C- (short term) or D-visa (long term) to travel to Estonia and apply for residence permit after arrival.
The visa and residence permit application process will usually begin after student has been accepted to study on chosen programme and after university has forwarded required acceptance documents.
International students studying in Estonia are not covered by the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (Haigekassa) unless they are employed in Estonia or have the right of permanent residence or a long-term residence permit. Thus, you need to ensure that you have some other health insurance for your period of study in Estonia.
If you are an EU citizen and have valid health insurance in your home country during your studies in Estonia, then you should apply for the EU health insurance card (EHIC) or a substitute certificate of an EU health insurance card (form E128). You should apply for that from the social service authorities in your home country before arriving in Estonia.
Necessary health care is not always free of charge – the patient’s co-payment should be paid according to Estonian tariffs. Therefore, it is recommended to also buy travel insurance from a private insurance company.
Non EU citizens: There are strict requirements in Estonia for health insurance cover when applying for a residence permit and having the required health insurance cover is necessary for applying for a temporary residence permit for studying.
A student who has been granted residence permit for study is not covered by the Estonian Health Insurance Fund. Students can come to Estonia with travel insurance but are then required to obtain proper health insurance in Estonia. You have to have an insurance contract guaranteeing that any costs related to your medical treatment as a result of illness or injury during your stay in Estonia will be met.
