Bachelor degree at RU

11 years of school is not enough to get into RU. Since students study longer in Iceland, you must first eliminate the academic difference — study for a year at a university in your home country, or take one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, IB, Foundation, etc.).

Master's degree at RU

To confirm your level of English, you must pass IELTS or TOEFL. The minimum IELTS score for admission is 6. TOEFL — 79 or higher.

RU campus

The campus of RU is located in Reykjavik. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. RU regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.
