About Us

Jeeps and survey boats are seen out in the Icelandic nature

At Reykjavik University's Department of Engineering, students and faculty come together to address some of the most pressing challenges of the 21stcentury. Through a strong foundation in classical techniques and methods of engineering, grounded in industry and international research, our students and researchers strive to solve modern-day challenges in a rigorous and collaborative setting. 

It's this environment that fosters our initiative and creativity. For these reasons, our university ranks the highest among all universities in Iceland, publishes the most citations, and attracts talent from over 50 countries worldwide.

Our Department hosts five undergraduate programs and eleven graduate programs where students can specialize in their area of interest. Our programs are primarily industry oriented and frequently involve industry research projects, internships, and under/graduate thesis projects.

We welcome you to visit any of our under/graduate programs listed, including our specialized schools, the Iceland School of Energy, and our  Masters of Project Management.
