    Applicants must have finished 60 ECTS or 1 year of undergraduate studies with the minimum GPA level of 7.

    Important: we do not recommend nominating 2nd year BSc Engineering students due to the limited courses available for these students.  Only a few courses are available. Often, 120 ECTS is the minimum entry requirement.  BSc courses are across study lines and may cause timetabling issues. We can only guarantee which courses will cause schedule conflicts once the timetables have been published.

    BSc applicants must have the minimum GPA level of 7.

Study restrictions

  • Students must take 70% of their courses in the department they are nominated to (1-2 electives from another department). Exceptions can be made for students studying in programs that combine two departments. However, this can cause timetabling issues.
  • To increase the options of courses available, the School of Computer Science now allows 3rd year BSc students (completed 120 ECTS) to take MSc-level courses.
  • Exchange students cannot take courses offered by Iceland School of Energy (except ISE partners) MBA & Clinical Psychology.
  • Iceland School of Energy: It's not possible to nominate students to ISE unless there is a specific agreement in place.  Exchange students from partner universities of ISE are only allowed to take one semester in the programme. 
  • Students are only accepted for thesis work if pre-arranged with a Professor.
