Institute of Foreign Languages and Cultures
Most of our classes usually take place at Lossi 3 or Jakobi 2.
Lossi 3 study building is open Mon–Fri 7:00–21:30 and Sat–Sun 8:00–20:00.
Jakobi 2 study building is open Mon–Fri 7:30 and Sat-Sun 8:00–18:00.
Opening hours are different on state holidays and during summer months (June-August). You can always ask the receptionists about the exact opening hours by calling +372 737 6104 (Lossi 3) and +372 737 5103 (Jakobi 2).
Our academic affairs specialists and coordinators are usually present Mon–Fri at 8–17. However, to make sure the person you wish to meet with is present at the time you need it, we strongly recommend scheduling a meeting beforehand (esp. during distant learning periods).
