Back to Search and Directory Home Map from used by permission of Microsoft Corporation. Higher Education. The modern Icelandic system of higher education dates back to the founding of the University of Iceland in 1911. The University of Iceland remains the principal institution of higher education in Iceland, but in addition there are two more specialized universities and several small colleges that offer programs at the higher education level. Colleges in Iceland offer technical and vocational courses as well as courses in the arts. Most colleges specialize in a single field of study. Some colleges belong formally to the secondary school level, but operate in practice on the higher educational level. Studies are offered in the following areas: physical education, social pedagogy, pre-school education, drama, music, fine and applied arts and design, computer studies, management, civil and electrical engineering technology, laboratory and radiology technology, and agricultural science. What are my chances for Iceland?

hostName = '.typepad.com'; Reykjavik Main Still in Iceland Dear blog readers, sometime ago I promised you a guest postand here is the first of, I hope, many. Kristen and I spent several amazing days in Reykjavik. Not surprisingly, she captures the moodand our moodfar more profoundly and succinctly than I ever could. Visit Kristen at her two wonderful blogs, Sigh Club and Sound Check My love for Iceland is a brutal, suspect love. I often find myself there in that stream-of-consciousness sort of way. Anything from teal high heel pumps to a building painted red will take me back to the streets of Reykjavik. Sometimes I am still at the top of Hallgrimskirkja, overlooking the bright city of Reykjavik. Big yellow Hummers do that, too. Range Rovers. Any big vehicle that can handle the Icelandic terrain make me think of small, cramped streets and abandoned bulldozers at the ends of the Earth. When the Spirit Rover landed on the moon, I thought of Iceland, because when I arrived at Keflavik airport I was faced with a planet whose existence I had dreamt about but never before laid eyes on. I wasn't prepared for my feeling the first dayof worry that we had made the wrong choice, that September was a little too late to visit Iceland and now it was too late to go home. What were we going to do for five days in the bitter cold? And I hadn't expected that by the end of the trip I would leave my heart with the Tower Guesthouse. I hadn't expected the small greatness that is Reykjavik. A tiny capital alive with creativity, youth, pride. We encountered a haughtiness about most Icelanders, but forgave them, for they had a right to feel superior. They are not so far from the North Pole and yet have managed to create a world for themselves full of knowledge, music, culture, and are blessed with a country whose natural beauty matches that of the only other natural formation that I have truly been in awe of: the Rocky Mountains.

It's a country like no other, and an example that larger nations would do to well to study. With little crime, there's no need for police to carry guns. A peaceful nation, Iceland finds an army unnecessary. The literacy rate is near 100 percent and most of Iceland's 283,000 inhabitants can speak multiple languages. Icelanders are justifiably proud of what they've done with this explosive terrain. And they're eager to share their country's wealth of natural wondersbubbling mud pits and allwith the rest of the world.

The Department of Icelandic Language and Literature has been at the University of Manitoba in the form of a Chair since 1951, when it was funded with an endowment created by the Icelandic community in North America. The Chair embodies the desire of the Icelandic community in Canada and the United States to uphold its literary traditions and to foster continuing interest in Icelandic and North American-Icelandic history. It has also served as a focal point for the teaching of Icelandic culture and language. Dr. Finnbogi Guðmundsson, the former head of the National Library in Iceland, held the Chair until 1956, when he was replaced by Mr. Haraldur Bessason, cand. mag., who held the post until 1987. Dr. Kirsten Wolf held the position of Chair and acted as head of the department from 1988- 2000. Dr. David Arnason has been Acting Head since then, and Dr. Birna Bjarnadottir has recently been appointed Chair of Icelandic Studies. In 1992, a professorship in the field of Icelandic-Canadian studies was established with the help of a grant from Secretary of State (Department of Multiculturalism).
