Our mission is to train innovatively and critically thinking health professionals with technological competences. Tallinn Health University of Applied Sciences is in continuous development, nationally and internationally networked, where, in cooperation with national and international partners and involving learners, current challenges are addressed.

The UAS is one of the two Universities of Applied Sciences in Estonia that offer education in the field of health care. It is possible to study in higher education programmes as a general nurse, midwife, optometrist, dental technician, pharmacist, occupational therapist, and in health promotion. In vocational education, programmes are offered for care workers, child minders, emergency medical technicians, assistive technology specialists, sterilization technicians, dental assistants, clinical secretaries, and client workers for people with mental health problems. 

Since the autumn semester of the 2018/2019 academic year, it has also been possible to study in the Master’s programme in Health Sciences.

The institution has a structural unit in Kohtla-Järve, and studies also take place in other regional units (e.g. Pärnu, Kuressaare, etc.).

The UAS  shapes skills for multi-professional and multicultural teamwork in its staff and learners while in continuous national and international cooperation with organisations that support development.   

We have developed into a reliable partner for employers, other universities, and professional and vocational associations both in Estonia and internationally. The education offered is internationally recognized and provides a wide range of opportunities for further study and employment in Estonia and abroad.

The UAS is a member of several international networks, and its staff serve as experts in national working groups and councils. Since 2005, the institution has been a member of the Rectors’ Council of Universities of Applied Sciences (RCUAS), through which it contributes to the development of higher education and participates in collaborative projects.

We consider it important to provide, alongside teaching and development activities, services to society that are based on our areas of expertise and the expectations and needs of our target groups. Thus, we offer public services that cover all age groups, with a steadily growing number of participants.

Our Centre for Lifelong Learning provides professional continuing education in the fields of social services, healthcare, and welfare.
