university students of language and literature, but anyone interested in
Icelandic and Icelandic culture is welcome to apply. The applicants' residence

Approximately 35 students can be accepted in the course. They will be taught in
two groups on the basis of their previous knowledge of Icelandic. Prerequisite

will be tested. The groups will have 80 hours of instruction in language and
cultural competence, four classes a day. Classes are scheduled 5 days a week,
Monday through Friday, in the morning and early afternoon. Class attendance is
obligatory. Instruction is mainly in Icelandic, but English will serve as the
second language in teaching. A certificate will be issued upon completion of
the course. Credits: 8 university credits, [ECTS: 16]

Lunch is available on campus. Participants can expect to spend at least USD 30
