expected from Tallinn University of Technology as the economic growth can be achieved
most of all by technical scientists and their

outer space while my practical experience derives
from many years of working in post-conflict or

Gary Tanner
Lecturer of Finance
“TUT’s international degree programs are truly
international. How “international”, you may ask?
Typically, in one of my average classes, I will have
students from as many as 12 different countries in
addition to Estonia. Sometimes, I have to admit
that it is truly a challenge for me, as a lecturer, to
find common ground to reach students with so many
cultural backgrounds. But, somehow, it all comes together, and the multicultural
aspects really make it more interesting for both myself and the students. I love
multicultural experiences myself. Perhaps, this is because I am from New York.”
Gary Tanner has graduated with the highest honours with a MBA from New
York University’s Stern School. Professionally, Gary has a 20+ year career that
spanned most major areas of finance: corporate treasury in a multinational
company; capital markets working on Wall Street; and commercial banking
working for a European bank. “As a result, since my main experience with
finance is as a professional and not as an academic, my lectures are constantly
full of real life examples supplementing the usual theoretical “textbook” material.”

(IPR). Since the laws in India are primarily derived and inspired from the laws of England and
incorporate elements from the US legal system,
and since I have done my LL.M in Europe, my professional interest and
skills mostly concern comparative studies of the various global legal systems.
In the Chair of Law and Technology, it is our constant endeavour to
inculcate in our students the general principles of IPR and also to give
detailed knowledge of the increasing specialisations concerning the laws
and regulations related to trade marks, patents, copyrights and designs.
This field of law is growing extremely complicated thanks to globalization. We help our students to acquire the skills to excel in this extremely
important commercial law.“

MASTER OF law AND
technology
The Master in Law and Technology provides an innovative
approach to teaching law, with a curriculum that includes
the main areas of law that are especially relevant for
technology, such as intellectual property law, IT law and
communications law. Students will specialise on one of
these areas but at the same time get an overview of all
these fields and how they relate to one-another. There will
be a combination of class-room, interactive teaching and
e-courses. The programme gives good basic knowledge
on general legal topics related to law and technology such
as public and private international law, EU internal market
law and competition law, as well as providing in-depth
knowledge and skills related to a broad understanding of
law and technology. The programme is taught by the international faculty of Tallinn Law School as well as by visiting
professors from other international universities as well as
practitioners from many different countries. The Master of
Law and Technology gives its graduates a unique basis
for work in law firms, international organisations, ministries
and regulators, patent offices or as corporate lawyers in
the rapidly growing high-technology field.

biotechnology where there are various ethical considerations.
The on-going discussion what should come first – technological
development or regulation – should be seen in a new light, as so
far many of the legal initiatives prohibit, limit or restrict rather
than promote new technological solutions in various fields. At
the same time, there may be dangers even to our fundamental
rights if technology development does not happen in a proper
legal framework.”

KATRIN NYMAN-METCALF
Professor of Law and Technology
“Apart from my academic work I also work practically with communications law issues in an international context. This includes ICT regulation, freedom
of the media in the context of modern communications technologies like internet or data protection
issues. Whether working in the private or the public
sector, issues of how law and technology interrelate
are more and more relevant and there is a real need for lawyers with knowledge
of law and technology. At the same time, the Master in Law and Technology
gives a good basic legal education that is valuable for any legal career. We are very
happy to be able to provide such a modern and innovative degree and especially
happy that in the context of Tallinn University of Technology as well as our
extensive international contact network, we can make full use of the skills and
expertise available in an interdisciplinary as well as international framework.”

MASTER OF MATERIALS AND
PROCESSES OF SUSTAINABLE
ENERGETICS
JOINT PROGRAMME WITH
Energy costs have become a critical issue since the
worldwide consumption is increasing and the production
of greenhouse gases is limited. This drives us to the
situation where people who are educated to deal with
minimizing energy usage are in demand. The joint master
programme of Materials and Processes of Sustainable
Energetics offers a new and unique approach to energy
issues. Programme does not teach how to produce more
energy but how to use energy more efficiently. There are
two specializations to choose between. Specialization
on materials will concentrate on solar panels and fuel
cells. Specialization on processes will teach all about the

MASTER OF Computer and
Systems Engineering
The Computer and Systems Engineering Master’s programme
focuses on the education of designing and using modern complex computer systems. Nowadays computer systems are used
more or less everywhere, they are extremely diverse and most
of them are “invisible” to users. Such systems include not only
traditional PC-s and sophisticated supercomputers, but also
computer systems “embedded” into cars and mobile phones,
for instance. Most of these computers are interconnected via
various wired and wireless networks and do not work in isolation.
These embedded systems can be either stand-alone items or an
integral part of a larger system and represent the combination of
software and hardware designed to perform specific functions.
When studying the Computer and Engineering Systems programme, students are exposed to systems design and modelling, computer architectures and programming, to name few of
the topics. Exposure to those topics will position students well
for jobs at small, medium and large companies. Their jobs will
involve defining, designing and using embedded computer
system in areas such as automotive electronics, consumer
devices, telecommunications, etc.
The Computer and Systems Engineering programme is supervised by two departments of TUT – Department of Computer
Engineering (DCE) and Department of Computer Control (DCC).
Students can choose between two of the following specialisations:
• Computer Systems Design (supervised by DCE) focuses on the modelling, analysing, designing and testing
of complex systems consisting of both hardware and
software components.
• Automation and Systems Engineering (supervised by
DCC) focuses on the modelling, analysing and designing of automation and computer control systems.

“The world goes embedded”: desktop computers morph
to smart multiprocessor mobile devices; ambient home
and office environments and industrial control systems
migrate to networked smart objects...
SPECIALIZATION
The new era of distributed embedded computing and
control systems revolutionizes the world of IT!
Student`s Enterprise Practice
Advanced integrated circuit technologies enable the
integration of complete systems on one microchip. The demand for ultra low power
and “green” computing in networked on-chip and off-chip “clouds” generates the
requirement of new sophisticated integrated hardware/software concepts: scalable, run-time adaptive and reliable multiprocessor and many-core systems and
integrated networked hardware/software service architectures will replace classical
computer architectures.
The international master programme “Computer and Systems Engineering”
(COMPSYS) provides leading edge education for the next generation of hardware/software system and control engineers. The integrated concept of hardware
and software education meets future industrial requirements profiles, where pure
hardware or pure software skills are not sufficent to successfully design and program
sophisticated embedded systems.
The programme prepares the students for a successful start in Estonian or international IT companies or for a research career and makes them ready for working in
interdisciplinary and international design teams. So join this international master
programme and be prepared for the new future trends in IT!

“I reached Estonia one year ago
in order to write my Master
thesis. After a few months I
received an offer for a PhD
position at the Cybernetics Department. Today I’m allowed to do cutting-edge research together with a highly
international team, in a top-notch academic environment and taking advantage of the latest technologies.
The academic offer of TUT is one of the best I’ve ever
experienced: things simply work the way you expect and
students have time to concentrate on their work and
passions, instead of bureaucracy. Living in the hearth
of the Old Town, spare time is always well spent, and
Estonians are extremely kind and welcoming people.
During my whole stay here, I’ve never felt a foreigner.”

There are always very distinct things that define a student’s
time in TUT. Academia aside every student seeks a place
outside the classroom where he/she can “find” themselves, in
an attempt to shape their personalities at this critical time in
their lives. For some it might be enjoying the notorious Tallinn
Night Life, for others it’s joining a sports team or honing one’s
musical talents by joining a band. For me it was working for
the TSEBA Student Council.
Take part in IC events, enrichen your student
years and get lifetime friends from Estonia
and from all over the world!

What I aprreciate the most in TUT: Before TUT I didn’t have any experiences in working or studying in an international environments, but TUT, as an international university with wide scope of different business courses, opened the
doors for me to work in international company and strategic management issues. The course selection is versitale and
the courses and professors of strategic/financial management one of the best in the field.
At the same time, I find Estonia, and especially Tallinn, very interesting place to study. The old town is very beautiful
and I can call it my second home after the years in TUT. And of course the social side of it all, all the crazy parties and
friends I made, I still keep a contact with people I met in Tallinn and TUT.

Graduate from MBA
Estonian
Life has taken a major turn after completing International MBA program in TUT in Estonia. I
completed a 2 year program in 1.5 years in TUT, where I was able to design my own study program. It
was a very busy time for me as I continued working full time as Baltic`s Business Planning Manager
for a global company Mars Incorporated and traveled often for business. Nevertheless, the hard work
has paid off. After completing my MBA degree I was offered a promotion and an opportunity to
work in Asia, as a Finance Manager for Asia Pacific region for Mars Drinks, a division of Mars Inc.
Having a MBA degree has opened a whole new set of doors for me with many more opportunities for a career development and
enjoyment of working in a global company anywhere in the world. MBA program in TUT does not only give you the edge, but
it gives you the self-confidence, knowledge and desire to succeed. Today’s business leaders are looking for young and ambitious
people, who are ready to work hard for what they want. MBA degree is just another way to prove to everyone that you are not only
experienced manager but that your learning agility is high and you’re ready to take on any new challenge that comes your way.

Chinese
“Estonia is a very attractive country.
I really enjoy living in Tallinn. The
cultural as well as the economic environment here is very inspiring. The
city of Tallinn strikingly combines
its medieval history with up-to-date
technology. It is truly the place where East meets West.”
1.
Is Estonia the world’s smallest
country?
Definitely not. With an area of 45 000 sq km,
Estonia is larger, for example, than many
European countries, like the Netherlands,
Denmark, or Switzerland. Estonia stretches
350 km from East to West and 240 km from
North to South.
2.
How can I get to Tallinn?
Tallinn, Estonia´s capital city is only 80 km
south of Helsinki, across the Gulf of Finland.
You can get here by plane, train and bus. You
can depart from Tallinn´s international airport
and in 20 minutes be in Helsinki, or in less than
two hours arrive at Stockholm, Copenhagen,
Riga, Moscow, Berlin, or Vilnius.
3.
Do Polar bears live in Estonia?
Although Estonia is situated in Northern Europe, the nearest polar bears live more than
2000 km further north. Despite the fact that
there are no polar bears living in Estonia,
our wildlife is quite abundant: wolves, bears,
lynx, wild boars, elks and others are all quite
common.
4.

What is the most recent
invention in Tallinn?
Many information technology inventions have
gotten their start from Tallinn. Skype is one of
the best-known of several Tallinn IT start-ups.
The New York Times has characterized Estonia as “a sort of Silicon Valley on the Baltic
Sea.” Some successful Estonian start-ups are
Erply, GrabCAD, Fortumo, ZeroTurnaround,
Fits.me and Now!Innovations. In fact, TUT
is just 10 minutes away from Skype´s office,
so you will be having your lectures in a truly
high-tech environment. Moreover, e-voting,

“Studying with students from 25
different countries in Tallinn is
fantastic! I will definitely visit my
friends in China and other countries even after we graduate.”
e-banking, e-parking and e-studying are just
some examples of how ICT has been successfully integrated into daily life in Estonia.

What are Estonians like?
Estonians are third-generation city people at
most, so all families have relatives living in
the country. The somewhat reserved Estonian of the winter months undergoes a significant change in the summer: people start
spending more time outside with their friends
and relatives enjoying different activities,
laughing and feeling relaxed. There is also
a diverse international community in Estonia.

What about other international
students studying in TUT?
Our international students come from nearly
60 different countries, Brazil, England, Japan
and the Philippines are just a few of them.
After graduating from TUT you’ll have not
only many Estonian friends but you have
met and gotten to know people from all over
the world. Having friends and contacts from
around the world can open many doors for
you and to help lead to a successful career
somewhere abroad.

“My experience at TTU is definitely great! I came to Estonia as
Erasmus student during my last
year of bachelor’s studies and after
that amazing year I decided to
come back for two-year MBA programme. I would certainly
38
do the same decision again since studying here is the perfect
combination of dedication and relax. My previous academic
experience was more like a duty which I was not quite happy
about. In contrast, here at TUT, thus you have to work hard
in pursuing your studies, the overall student-friendly environment enhanced by university’s student support services is
smoothing the flow of academic process. Moreover, life for
a student in the city of Tallinn is great and very convenient.
So, take your winter jacket and come here! If we will meet,
you are going to say “Yes, you were right!”
