ISIC student card

It is possible to apply for a student card for a person at least 16 years old, who is a matriculated student and is studying a higher education curriculum at a university, university of applied sciences or vocational education institution in Estonia or abroad. A person can study both full-time and part-time and in different forms of study (i.e. full-time study, distance study, cycle study, etc.). At the time of applying for the card, the student may also be on academic leave.

Students of the Open University cannot apply for an ISIC student card except for students of the Open University of the University of Tartu. If a person studies the curriculum of the University of Tartu's open university (i.e. does not take only some subjects, e.g. as an external student, but completes the entire curriculum), he is a matriculated student and thus entitled to apply for an ISIC student card. Other higher education institutions do not have study programs approved by the Open University, so they are not matriculated students either, but free listeners.

Externs, interns and residents are not students in the sense of the University Act, so they cannot apply for a student card.
