Eligibility Criteria
Foreign students from eligible countries (US applicants apply through Fulbright) Academic Requirements You should have completed at least one year of university study in the humanities. The programme is academic as well as practical, so a humanities background helps you handle the study of Icelandic morphology, syntax, phonetics, literature and history. Language Requirements You need to demonstrate a basic knowledge of Icelandic, equivalent to having completed the Institute's introductory self-study online courses. The first year of the BA is designed for students who already have some prior knowledge of the language rather than complete beginners.

- A monthly stipend intended to cover room and board for one person.
