Faculty of Nursing

Nursing

All programmes at the Faculty of Nursing are taught in Icelandic. A good command of the Icelandic language is therefore essential for participation in lectures, clinical training, and coursework.

Undergraduate Studies

Studies leading to the BS degree in Nursing Studies span four years. Graduates obtain the protected professional title of nurse in Iceland. The programme is internationally accredited and graduates can pursue advanced studies.

Note that a competitive examination is held to determine who acquires the right to pursue study in the spring semester of the first year of study. Approximately 75 students attain this right every year. The grade from the competitive examination determines the right to continue the programme.
