Hi! My name is Bahar, I’m an 18-year-old Iranian girl who is very interested in moving to Estonia in the future. I don’t know much about life there yet, so I would love to hear your advice and experiences.

My plan is:

Study Graphic Design in my home country for 4 years

Improve my English and learn digital art programs like Illustrator and Blender

Build a portfolio and apply for a Master’s degree in Animation at an Estonian university

My questions are:

1. Is Animation a popular or available Master’s program in Estonia?

2. What documents and preparations are usually needed for immigration as a student?

3. How much money should a student prepare for the first year?

4. Is there a demand for English teachers in Estonia?

5. How is the general attitude of Estonian people towards foreigners, especially Iranians?

Thank you so much in advance! I really appreciate any help or advice.

Why do you want to go to Estonia if you dont know anything about the country?

English is taught as a second language in schools, so I guess there would be a demand.

Hello, thank you very much for your reply! Well, the truth is that I’ve always been very interested in the Nordic countries - or at least countries close to Northern Europe - but unfortunately I don’t have the financial means to move there… That’s why I decided to consider Estonia as one of the more affordable and accessible options. Still, what you mentioned about English usually being used as a second language really clarified a lot for me. Thank you again! ✨️
