Even though the primary language of instruction is Icelandic, the University of Iceland offers several study programmes that are taught fully in English and are therefore open to international students. In addition, the University offers several foreign language programmes in languages other than English.
International students can complete a BA degree in Icelandic as a Second Language (https://english.hi.is/node/52389) to acquire the basic knowledge and theoretical skills to continue academic studies in Icelandic.
Another possibility is the Practical Diploma in Icelandic as a Second Language (https://english.hi.is/node/52392), a practical language programme for beginners, which focuses on developing skills in speaking, writing and understanding modern Icelandic.
Further information on each programme may be found in the course catalogue (http://ugla.hi.is/kennsluskra/index.php?tab=nam&kennsluar=current&flaturlisti=0&namsstig=F&lang=en).
