International Office

Today, virtually all students at the University of the Faroe Islands are Faroese (or foreigners residing in the Faroe Islands), and most of the teaching is conducted in Faroese.

A prerequisite for the University to develop international activities is that the Faroe Islands become a member of Erasmus+, and that international students have access to student housing and receive support from an international office at the University.

The Faroe Islands – and thereby the University of the Faroe Islands – must have membership in the EHEA and Erasmus+ to ensure flexible international mobility for students, educators and researchers.

This work has not yet been finalized. 

Proficiency in the Faroese language is therefore a requirement for admission to bachelor’s or master’s degree programmes.
