Tallinn – sounds good
Tallinn, perhaps the best-preserved Hanseatic town of all (a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site), a harbor, sailing, and beach capital - the site of the 1980 Summer Olympics in water-sports -, is as dynamic and exciting as a city of half a million can be. Newsweek called Tallinn one of the top "funky towns" of the world. It is also the regional cultural capital, with many excellent concerts, art and design exhibitions, and theater productions. The crisis has slowed down the construction boom, but not the vibrancy and attractiveness of the city.
Tallinn University of Technology
Tallinn University of Technology (TUT) is one of the leading technical universities, and one of the best, most patent-producing schools in the region; it closely works with its Finnish counterparts. TUT - one of the 
schools fondly called "the MIT of the North" - gives this program a serious and solid base. A fully accredited State university, founded in 1918, it has a large, diverse, and integrated student body and many student facilities, as well as modern student housing.
Public administration at
Tallinn University of Technology
In Public Administration and Management, key themes include the theory and history of public administration, public management reform, and personnel management and civil service, as well as EU and global public administration, and comparative public administration. A key specialization is Technology Governance that combines innovation studies and governance issues. It is also the leading center in Estonia for Local Government studies. The department's focus lies on small states, their administration, economy, and governance within the international context. A semester or more in the Public Administration programme at TUT gives the student the possibility to participate in cutting-edge and exciting special as well as general classes on an international level that will broaden their horizons as well as provide a solid foundation in the given area. The department's site is in the West of Tallinn, separated from the nearby Sea by coastal woods, in a brand-new custom-made building on the main TUT campus and right next to Skype's R&D division.
