How to Study Abroad in Reykjavik
As Iceland’s capital and largest city, Reykjavik is the go-to spot for universities in Iceland for international students—but also for study abroad in Iceland in general.. This is where all the action is happening as the country’s cultural and economic hub, as well as one of the world’s cleanest, safest, and most sustainable cities.
Popular subjects to study. Iceland’s hot springs, geothermal pools, and volcanic activity make for Insta-worthy pics, but they also significantly impact how Reykjavik makes and uses energy. Its isolation from other nations coupled with a unique geology has contributed to its status as a world leader in environmental innovation and sustainable energy solutions. For this reason, many students who choose to study in Reykjavik focus on subjects such as the environment, renewable energy, development, and sustainability. These programs help students get a better grasp on what real-world dependency on alternative energy looks like and helps to acquire a deeper understanding of the role these technologies play in the world.
Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. As you might have already guessed, Reykjavik can get pretty chilly. But contrary to popular belief, Reykjavik university life is not just some frozen tundra where the snow blows sideways and sleet slaps you in the face all day. The climate is quite temperate and averages generally sits around 50°F in the summer months when many students opt to do short-term summer study abroad programs. If you want to experience the fegurð of the winter months in Reykjavik, semester and year long programs are also available. So if you have ever wondered if you can pull off earmuffs, this is your chance to find out!
Attending universities vs. other program types. Iceland’s top universities, The University of Iceland and Reykjavik University, both call the capital city home and make great settings for your study abroad program in Reykjavik. There are also a number of third party programs that run on a regular basis, and your home university may even run their own study abroad programs in Reykjavik.
