Student Mobility & Exchange
The Icelandic countryside
To be an exchange student at AUI gives you the opportunity to visit a unique country and make friends for life. AUI is located in the rural area of Borgarfjordur surrounded with wetlands, rich animal life inside a small village about 90 km north of Reykjavík.
Having the opportunity to study at a small university as AUI gives you the chance to become member of a big family where everyone is familiar in a small community in the countryside.
If you are thinking about going abroad to study for one or two semesters there are several options available.
If you are thinking about going within Europe, then please look at the list of AUI’s partners universities. AUI has bilateral agreements with several universities within the ERASMUS+ program and also within the Nordplus program.
To be qualified to apply for becoming exchange student you must have completed 60 ECTS of study before the exchange starts.
