History

[edit]

Professor Chr. Fr. Deutsch established a school for midwives in Tartu at 1811. During its 200 years of history, the college has existed under many different names and has provided instruction in several areas of specialization and levels of study. In 2005 the school received the name of Tartu Health Care College.[1]

Teaching and study of the college has been conducted in different buildings, but from 2011 the Tartu Applied Health Sciences University has its own study building.

Since the beginning of 2025, the new official English name of Tartu Health Care College has been Tartu Applied Health Sciences University. [2]
