The Estonian Information Technology College is the leading IT institution of applied higher education in Estonia. What makes the IT College special is its academic staff, composed of nothing but professionals in the field – a third of all of the lecturers come from IT firms and company or state IT departments. The IT College offers different forms of study including day-time and evening courses, and distance learning (e-studies). A three-year study of applied higher education totalling 180 credit points in the European Credit Transfer System produces a specific vocational qualification equal to a Bachelor’s degree. The qualification awarded upon completion of the programme is Diploma of Professional Higher Education. The College’s priority is to train IT field specialists; yet, graduates may choose to pursue their studies at the Master’s level at home universities or abroad.
