WHAT IS
Social Entrepreneurship MA Program?
The Social Entrepreneurship programme utilises project-based learning methods where students are working in small, multidisciplinary groups, creating their own projects, mastering theories and knowledge while doing development work.
The programme is intended to be a creative hub, where students not only participate in an academic education but Tallinn University serves as a pre-incubator of new, creative initiatives that might be realized with the help of Estonian e-residency and a very supportive e-government system. Tallinn University’s social entrepreneurship programme pays special attention to ICT supported e-services, digital technology, governance and business solutions relying on the innovative context of Estonia and bringing this creative atmosphere closer to welfare programmes.
