The University of Tartu (Estonian: Tartu Ülikool, German: Universität Dorpat) is the "national university" of Estonia, and the one classical university in Estonia, located in the city of Tartu. The university is a member of the Coimbra Group and was established by King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden in 1632.
At different times during its history the University of Tartu was known as Academia Gustaviana, University of Dorpat, (Kaiserliche) Universität (zu) Dorpat, and University of Yuryev.
History
Founded by Sweden as part of colonial policy in just-conquered Livonia, the Academia Gustaviana was the second university founded in the Swedish Empire, following Uppsala University and preceding the Academy of Åbo. A precursor to the academy had been a Jesuit grammar school, existing between 1583 and 1601, when Tartu (Dorpat) was under Polish rule. Struggling until 1710, after being relocated from Tartu to Pärnu for some years, the university was reopened only in 1802 by order of the reform-minded Emperor Alexander I of Russia to which Livonia then belonged.
