Summer Schools

The University Centre of the Westfjords offers full service for travel courses, study tours, field schools, and other travel study programs organized by universities and institutions abroad. Ísafjörður is an ideal destination for visiting students. Accommodation is inexpensive, the town is cozy and picturesque, shops and services are all within walking distance, and the University Centre's facilities are spacious and welcoming.

We also offer "ready-made" educational day tours to destinations around town and in the vicinity. In our short history we have already hosted many successful study tours and we have room to grow.


For further information on Travel Study Programs, please contact Pernilla Rein, Project Manager, summerschools@uwestfjords.is
