Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences (EUAS, Estonian: Eesti Ettevõtluskõrgkool Mainor, formerly known in English as Mainor Business School[1]) is a private[2] vocational university located in the Ülemiste City business park in Tallinn, Estonia. Founded in 1992, the university offers accredited[3] Bachelor and Master-level degrees in Estonian, English, and Russian languages, covering such fields as business administration, finance and logistics, and software and game development.[4][3][5] It has a student body of over 1,600 students, about 100 of whom are international students.[4]

Since 2017, EUAS has been involved in a national cross-university entrepreneurship training program funded by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research.[6][7][8] The university is also notable for opening Estonia's first undergraduate degree program in Information Science taught in English, primarily aimed at expats.[9][10]

While primarily a teaching institution, EUAS has been actively involved in research on entrepreneurship education and applied higher education.[11][12][13]
