The application system (DreamApply Estonia) opens on 18 February. The application closes on 15 April for non-EU citizens and 30 June for EU (and applicant countries/EEA/UK/ Switzerland).

The following documents must be submitted electronically via DreamApply by the application deadline:

1. online application

2. motivation letter

3. official certified copy of the secondary school certificate and grade list in the original language (must include description of the grading scale).

Applicants from the member countries of EU, OECD, CIS (СНГ), Ukraine, Georgia, IB Diploma programme or graduating with A-level exams who are graduating in the upcoming spring/summer and having their secondary school certificate issued later than the application deadline should electronically submit their most recent grade list (grades for all your high school years up until the moment of application) by the application deadline, 15 April. The grade list should be supplemented by an official statement from the issuing school indicating current enrolment and expected graduation date. Admitted candidates are required to post the certified copies of their graduation documents as soon as these have been issued (these must reach us by the end of July at the latest).

Applicants from other countries can only apply if they have already obtained their final graduation documents and can submit these by the application deadline, 15 April.

4. official certified translation of the secondary school certificate and grade list into English

5. proof of English language proficiency

6. copy of valid international passport page stating the applicant’s personal particulars or copy of ID card (Only EU/EEA/UK/Swiss citizens)

7. confirmation/receipt of application fee payment. All applicants are required to pay the application fee EUR 50. An application will only be processed after the fee has been received by the EAVA.

Applicants will receive feedback and notifications through the DreamApply system to their e-mail. Incomplete applications or those submitted by e-mail will not be considered.

The evaluation of applications will be made based on the electronic copies added to DreamApply. A general ranking list will be formed based on the electronically submitted applications and admission results (including offers) will be announced to all applicants personally via DreamApply by 7 July at the latest. Those EU/EEA/Swiss citizens submitting the application after 15 April (by 30 June) will receive results by 12 July at the latest. Admitted candidates are expected to accept or decline the offer in DreamApply in 6 days. If the decision is not communicated to EAVA via DreamApply by the stipulated deadline, EAVA reserves the right to withdraw the admission offer. It is not possible to postpone/defer the beginning of studies to the next academic year.

Terms and conditions of the admission offer:Admission offers are conditional. This means that there are conditions in the offer which the applicant needs to fulfil in order to be admitted (e.g. sending application documents by post; obtaining the required level of education). If the conditions are not met, EAVA has the right to withdraw the offer. Also, EAVA reserves the right to withdraw or amend any offer or revoke the matriculation of a student, if it becomes evident that the application contains fraudulent information, the qualification does not provide access to the chosen study programme or the student is found to have omitted key information from the application. Should such circumstances occur, EAVA will not be liable for any material or immaterial loss which the student may suffer as a result.

Once the admission results have been announced, all admitted students are required to send the application documents by post to: Admissions, Estonian Aviation Academy, Lennu 40, Reola, Kambja, Tartu County 61707, Estonia.
The documents are expected to be mailed only by those receiving the admission offer (unless instructed otherwise by EAVA staff). The documents must reach EAVA within 3 weeks from the announcement of the offer. If the application documents do not reach EAVA by the deadline, EAVA has the right to withdraw the admission offer. Applicants will be informed via DreamApply when their documents have arrived.

Requirements for educational documentsAll copies of educational documents (secondary school certificate and grade list/transcript) must be officially certified. By certified we mean that the copies should bear an original signature and seal of the authority certifying that these are true copies of the original document(s). The copies can be certified either 1) by an authorised official of the issuing institution, or 2) by a notary, or 3) with an Apostille attached. NB! Country-specific requirements may specify the way documents from certain countries must be certified. Please note that EAVA does not accept simple copies made on the basis of already certified copies (primary copies are needed).
All admitted students are required to present their original qualification certificates upon arrival (unless these were sent directly from the issuing institution).

Paying the tuition feeAdmitted students are required to pre-pay half of the first semester's tuition fee after they have been informed of their admission decision (have received an offer) via DreamApply. Second part of the fee is due on 20 September. The invoice along with the pre-payment deadline and payment details will be sent to applicants via DreamApply. The official admission letter (necessary for visa application) will only be issued once EAVA has received the pre-payment.

By transferring the pre-payment to the university, you confirm that you have informed yourself about the process of the visa and temporary residence permit application and you are able to arrive in Estonia by the start of the academic year. If you have any questions please contact admissions@eava.ee.

The official admission letter will be sent to admitted students electronically via DreamApply only after the admissions office has received and reviewed hard copies of the application documents, and received the tuition fee pre-payment (if a pre-payment was required, please see Step 3 for more details).

The electronic admission letter is also sufficient for non-EU students for applying for visa/residence permit in Estonian embassies.

Once the admission letter is issued, admitted students may proceed further with arranging their travel and arrival. All non-EU students should first consult information on the process of visa and temporary residence permit application to be sure, as where and when the relevant documents need to be applied.
