MORE USEFUL INFORMATION

Language of instruction:

The principal language of instruction at the University is Icelandic. Most faculties offer some courses in English that are open for exchange students:

Language proficiency:

Applicants from countries outside the EU/EEA whose native language is not English, need to prove their English proficiency by submitting TOEFL (min. 79) or IELTS (min. 6.5) scores. This is to make sure students do not have problems during their exchange period as they cannot expect any special assistance due to language problems. A self-assessment of English proficiency is included in the student application.

Icelandic language courses:

The University of Iceland offers courses in Icelandic as a second language:

The University Centre of the Westfjords offers Intensive Icelandic language courses: https://www.uw.is/icelandic_courses/

Here is a link to our web site with more detailed information for prospective exchange students:

Cost of living:

The estimated cost of living in Iceland for a single person is ISK 189,875 per month (minimal support guidelines set by the municipalities):

Housing:

The University of Iceland does not provide or guarantee housing for students but the following options may be helpful:

With the recent surge of tourists in Reykjavik and in Airbnb rentals, finding housing may be a difficult task and we recommend that students find housing before their arrival in Iceland. On-campus student housing is in very limited supply and nearly all students at the University of Iceland live off-campus. We direct students to private housing advertised on the Student Agency webpage:

We strongly urge students to follow the website closely as many listings are added daily, but they also tend to go fast.

Orientation:

It is important that students watch the pre-orientation videos offered by the international office and services at the university:

Orientation days for all international students are held at the beginning of each semester where the practicalities and services at the University are introduced. Various events are available to students during the first days of the semester, among others a welcome reception, guided tour on campus, concerts, lectures etc. For practical information see:
