Identity verification capability enables Tallinn University to securely verify international students from Singapore applying for their programs

NEW YORK, USA, May 10, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Veriff, a global identity verification provider, today announced its partnership with Tallinn University Social Entrepreneurship MA academic program (SEMA). 90% of the students are international for the remote academic program. The university uses online identity verification for the online application program to ensure students are who they say they are.

The two-year-long SEMA program aims to be a creative hub where students not only participate in academic education but Tallinn University also serves as a pre-incubator of new, creative initiatives with the help of the Estonian e-residency program and a supportive e-government system.

"We needed an automated, fast, and accurate solution to verify the identity of our students not only during the enrollment period but throughout their entire journey in the academic program. Veriff makes it possible from the perspective of accountability, safety, and security and allows students to enroll for our SEMA program online from anywhere in the world," said Zsolt Bugarszki, associate professor of Tallinn University, based in Singapore. "We are excited to work with an Estonian company representing the same spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation."

Before using Veriff, all student identification processes were handled manually. Applicants to the program sent an online copy of their diplomas and credentials and, in a later stage of the admission, also a physical photocopy. Personal identification was the duty of the academic staff that conducted the admission interview via ZOOM calls.

"It's great to see how Veriff's technology can help education institutions make their programs available for people around the world," said Janer Gorohhov, co-founder and CPO of Veriff. "We're thrilled to partner with Tallinn University's SEMA program to provide our unmatched identity verification capabilities ensuring safety and proper verification for the international applicants and students participating in the program."

"E-Residency gives global entrepreneurs remote access to all state services of the world's most digital country. The partnership with Tallinn University creates a great and unique opportunity for the students to scale their businesses internationally, penetrating the European market," said Katriin Alasoo, Deputy Head of e-Residency in Estonia.

SEMA is a fully online program that uses project-based learning methods where students work in small, multidisciplinary groups, creating projects and mastering theories and knowledge while doing development work. SEMA pays special attention to ICT-supported e-services, digital technology, governance, and business solutions relying on the innovative context of Estonia and bringing this creative atmosphere closer to welfare programs.
