I applied to study Danish at the University of Iceland with the intention of maintaining the language until I got back to Denmark again. I did not find it very exciting to learn about contemporary Danish literature, phonology and expression but to my great surprise, I have seldom enjoyed studying as much as at the University of Iceland and I have learned so much more than just the language and how to apply it. The teachers are extremely professional in their field and know exactly how to approach a diverse group of people and I can therefore recommend the course to everyone.

I decided to study Danish at the University of Iceland because I wanted to gain a broader insight into the language, culture and history. The course is a great opportunity to get closer to the language you are fascinated by and want to get to know better. During my studies, I have among other things, gained a deeper understanding and interest in Danish literature, linguistics and learning efficiency. I have met new people and a beautiful environment that Veröld, Vigdís house, offers you. Whether you are considering further studies in Denmark or want to use the language in your life and work, I believe that the University of Iceland's School of Humanities is the right place to start.

It was very good to start a lengthy study programme in Denmark with a good grasp of Danish, and thus a more equal opportunity with Danish fellow students. I managed to fit in well with the group of friends and the community, and there learning about Danish history, politics and culture has been very important. I soon got a job at the hospital, where I take shifts in psychiatric wards and take blood tests. I am extremely happy with my Danish studies at the University of Iceland and how it has helped me to integrate into Danish society and enjoy life in Denmark to the fullest.
