Sustainable use of energy resources is the basis for future economic growth and well being. To promote research and organized education in this field, Reykjavik University, in collaboration with Reykjavik Energy and Iceland GeoSurvey, operates REYST - an interdisciplinary graduate program in order to create leading experts in management, design and research in the field of sustainable energy.

The school offers an international graduate program based on three pillars:

• Engineering
  
• Earth Science
  
• Business
  

The program is characterized by its focus on sustainable energy use, interdisciplinary approach, practical experience and fieldwork.

The first group of students enrolled in The Reykjavik Energy Graduate School of Sustainable Systems – REYST –  in August 2008. Our students have diverse backgrounds in engineering, science, business and law and come from all parts of the world. Roughly half of the students are international and the other half is Icelandic. The language of instruction is English.
