Welcome to Tallinn Law School!

Tallinn Law School (TLS) contributes to the fulfillment of the mission of Tallinn University of Technology (TUT) by providing research and studies in the area of law. This allows TUT to offer contemporary higher education and knowledge services as well as advance legal science, especially in the areas of technology law, European law and human rights.

Tallinn Law School has achieved considerable success in the area of internationalisation and high quality of study and research. Advancement of research potential, including opening doctoral studies, are the priorities for the coming years.

More and more students have chosen to study law at TUT, and our graduates have found work both in Estonia and abroad. Today, ca 800 students study law at TUT, ca 200 of them in English. Our priorities in research and study are:

• Law & Technology: The development of information technology and innovation are priorities for Estonia, thus it is also important to develop a legal framework that supports them, as well as train specialist lawyers. TUT is the best place for research and study in the area of Law & Technology.
• European law: There are no comparable institutions in Estonia in terms of breadth and scope of EU law related research and studies. More than 10 years of continuous development (with the support of Jean Monnet grants from the European Commission) of the study and research activities related to European Union law have resulted in not only providing education in EU law to Estonian students, but also in bringing to Estonia many foreign students (including students from Georgia).
• State and municipal law: Students get basic foundations about criminal and private law as well as more in depth knowledge of state and administrative law, with special emphasis on municipal law, planning and construction law and environmental law.
