Erasmus and Nordplus students applying through the website of the Office of International Education at the University of Iceland will automatically be booked at Hótel Núpur in a double room. Erasmus-/Nordplus-students who wish to be in a single room or have other special needs, please contact info@hotelnupur.is.

Other exchange students apply through the web form on this web site. Admission for other exchange students is dependent on availability of rooms at Núpur, while Erasmus-/Nordplus-students have priority. In case Núpur was fully booked, we advice other exchange students to the parallel course in Isafjörður, with more or less the same programme. For further information, please check islenska@UWestfjords.is.
