What is the
ISIC Student card?
ISIC Student or International Student Identity Card is an international student ticket that can be used to prove your student status and entitles you to various benefits in Estonia and abroad. The ISIC student card is the key to the student community, which includes students from more than a hundred countries.
All ISIC cards also function as a common card in public transport and as a pass card in the canteen, library or elsewhere within the school.
Who can apply for an ISIC Student card?
Students of the Open University cannot apply for an ISIC Student ticket, with the exception of 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 approved study programs at 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 an ISIC Student ticket.
