Having been member of the UArctic since 2006, the University Centre of the Westfjords has established an intensive relationship with the Higher Education Institutions of the high north and is an active part of UArctic. The tight connections within the circumpolar north are also reflected by the master's students: Although the 2011 cohort comes from a variety of countries and universities, UArctic graduates amount to one third of this year's master's students. Thus, UWestfjords seems to become a meeting point for UArctic students, bringing UArctic visions and values from the circumpolar north with them to the Westfjords of Iceland.
