Icelandic universities generally provide a limited amount of scholarships, except for the University of Iceland which is the largest public university in the country:

 

Public universities can help students to finance their studies based on the national scholarships provided by the government of Iceland:

  • The Icelandic Research Fund (IRF) – for research students PhD and MSc;

  • The Icelandic Centre for Research, Rankness – for postgraduate students; and,

  • The Icelandic Student Innovation Fund (ISIF) – for all students through Summer research projects.

​

The cost varies significantly between universities and courses. For example, the University of Iceland (public) does not charge any tuition fee but only an annual registration fee of ISK 75,000 (=£487). Private universities charge both tuition and annual registration, which vary depending on the course and institution. For example, in the Reykjavik university, undergraduate students from a non-EEA country will have to pay ISK 767,000 per semester (=£4,950) and postgraduate students will pay from ISK 900,000 (£5,800) up to ISK 1,200,000 (£7,756).
