Winter School lasts for three weeks. The programme includes intensive courses for Estonian and Russian and an interaction design workshop. In addition to learning, the Winter School participants will partake in a cultural programme that introduces Estonia and includes various courses, museum visits and outings.

The Tallinn University Summer and Winter Schools are aimed towards international students but are also open for Estonians. The International Tallinn Summer School has been taking place since 2006. It offers a three-week programme that includes language classes, creative workshops and various courses in humanities and social sciences. The International Tallinn Winter School first took place in 2010. It has smaller courses and fewer participants than the Summer School. There are more participants in Summer and Winter Schools each year, the number has exceeded 300 over the past few years and there have been learners from 40-50 countries. In addition to learning, the participants partake in a diverse cultural programme; there are public lectures and outings that introduce Estonia and the culture here.
