Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences

What Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences does

Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences (EUAS), legally AS Eesti Ettevõtluskõrgkool Mainor, is Estonia's largest private university and a subsidiary of the Mainor Group. It delivers applied higher education across Bachelor's programs (Business, IT and Design curricula including International Logistics Management, Marketing, Finance Management, Digital Product Design, Hotel and Restaurant Entrepreneurship, Game Design, and AI-Driven Software Technologies), Master's/MBA programs, Open University short courses, Microcredentials, and a research track, plus an Erasmus+ international mobility programme and corporate B2B training (e.g., a custom leadership microdegree for Kuehne+Nagel). The student body spans 35+ nationalities, served from a main campus in Tallinn's Ülemiste City (the largest privately owned business campus in Northern Europe) and a secondary study centre in Tartu.

The underlying technology stack is conventional higher-education infrastructure: a Moodle-based LMS with single-sign-on to Microsoft Office 365 Education (free for all students and faculty) and 100 GB OneDrive cloud storage per student, supported by an in-house IT Department (Head, Deputy Head, Software Architect, Infrastructure Specialist, Programmer) that maintains custom internal systems and a whistleblower/breach reporting portal operated under Mainor Group governance. EUAS holds HAKA institutional accreditation and is a member of EFMD Global and the Estonian Association for Quality, with curriculum co-design partnerships across Ericsson, ABB, Levellab, Prolog, AVARA, and academic peers such as Vilniaus Kolegija and Instituto Politécnico de Portalegre.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition for accredited Bachelor's and Master's programs (annual billing), modular subscription pricing for Open University courses and Microcredentials, professional-services fees from custom corporate microdegrees, and ancillary income from campus room rentals. GTM is direct-to-consumer via the EUAS website admissions funnel for individual applicants, complemented by an Erasmus+ partner university channel for cross-border mobility and direct enterprise sales for B2B training. No standalone revenue, funding or cap-table details are publicly disclosed, and ownership concentration beyond the Mainor Group parent is not documented.

Product overview

Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences (EUAS) is Estonia's largest private university, delivering a portfolio of applied higher-education products built around a single integrated platform rather than separate products. The core offerings are the Bachelor's Programs (covering Business, IT and Design curricula including AI-Driven Software Technologies and Entrepreneurship) and the Master's Programs (MBA), which sit alongside modular extensions: Open University Courses, Microcredentials, a Research track, the Erasmus+ international mobility programme, and Library Services that bundle Microsoft Office 365 / OneDrive access. Together these named products form a layered architecture in which full-degree programs are the primary offering and short-format courses, microcredentials, research output, mobility, and library services extend that core.
