EuroAcademy is a private institution of professional higher education founded in 1997 by NGO Eesti Euroinfo Ühing.

The main activities of EuroAcademy include the provision of higher education, research and service to society, including continuing education, exhibitions and conferences aimed at the community, etc. EuroAcademy provides both professional higher education and Master’s studies. Instruction is conducted in the following five faculties: the Faculty of International Relations, the Faculty of Translation, the Faculty of Business Management, the Faculty of Environmental Protection and the Faculty of Design. EuroAcademy is the only Estonian private higher educational institution providing education in various areas. Another peculiarity includes the fact that all specialties are mutually connected. Instruction in all curricula is available in three languages: Estonian, Russian or English (except the curriculum of Translator). The number of specialties offered in Russian is the largest in Estonia. EuroAcademy is a well-known private university recognised both in Estonia and abroad providing students with high-quality, practical and interdisciplinary higher education on three academic levels. EuroAcademy develops international cooperation with foreign partner universities in the sphere of higher education and research.

Similarly, we provide training courses supporting the concept of lifelong learning. The mission of EuroAcademy is to contribute to the society by providing high-quality education and promoting research and culture. The mission of our competence centres is to be the originators and implementers of innovation in their particular area.

It is the mission of EuroAcademy to base its curriculum development on the needs and tendencies of the society and the labour market and thus contribute to the achievement of the goals of Europe 2020 and the respective programmes.
