From LATVIA 🇱🇻 to TALTECH 🇪🇪

For Emīls, moving from Riga to Tallinn meant much more than earning a master's degree. Studying International Business in the Digital Era at TalTech School of Business and Governance gave him a fresh perspective on business, an international network and opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.

During his two years at TalTech, Emīls balanced full-time work with evening studies, represented the university at an education fair back home in Latvia, and discovered that studying abroad doesn't have to mean moving far away from home.

Today, Tallinn feels like his second home, and he's looking forward to continuing his journey in one of Europe's leading startup hubs. 🚀
