Between 2003 and 2006 as International University Concordia Audentes, it offered academic programs in law, business, media and social sciences for students studying in English.

In 2007, however, the university was fully incorporated into International University Audentes (IUA), which was offering similar academic programs in Estonian and Russian languages. In July 2008, IUA was merged with Tallinn School of Economics and Business Administration (TSEBA) of Tallinn University of Technology (TUT), the second largest public university in Estonia and the biggest in Tallinn. During academic year 2008/2009, IUA continued to function as a separate unit of TSEBA.
