About the university

The University of Iceland was founded on 17th June 1911, on the centenary of 19th century Icelandic statesman Jón Sigurðsson, usually referred to as "president". The university was located in the Parliament House at Austurvöllur for the first 29 years. The University of Iceland was formed in a merger of the Seminary, the School of Medicine and the School of Law, which each formed a faculty, in addition to the newly-established Faculty of Philosophy. Only 45 students, one of which was female, were enrolled during the academic year 1911 to 1912; the academic year 2013 to 2014 will see almost fourteen thousand students, around two thirds of which are female, studying at the University of Iceland. The university offers a variety of academic programmes on the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels. The university relocated to the Main Building at Suðurgata in 1940. The university´s facilities have grown considerably since then; the newest addition to the campus is the University Centre, which was taken into use on 1st December 2007.
