The Estonian Aviation Academy (EAVA) has the best ratio of students to lecturers in Estonia (9.6 students per lecturer), which ensures a personal approach and high-quality teaching in a friendly learning environment. Throughout the programme you will receive dedicated one-on-one and group support from our academic staff.

The Estonian Aviation Academy is an authorised training partner of the International Air Transport Association. Therefore, this curriculum already includes certified IATA courses to further develop your in-depth aviation knowledge.
✅ The Full Student Experience
Tartu is known as the City of Good Thoughts, the Capital of Culture in Estonia and a lively student city. Twice a year, in spring and autumn, students organise over 150 events during the Student Days, including a boat rally, song festival, Walpurgis Night, student band competitions and a student film festival. Due to the compact design of the city centre and the bike sharing system, Tartu has the quaint feel of an easily accessible town.
✅ Real-life Practice
Since the Estonian Aviation Academy campus is situated next to the small but cosy Tartu Airport, your studies are carried out in a real-life aviation environment.
