Nearly 250 candidates graduated from the University of Iceland today

242 candidates graduate today from the University of Iceland at the University´s third graduation this year. Many of them have visited the Main Building to collect their degree certificates.

The University has not had a formal ceremony for the October graduation for many years, but candidates have instead been invited to collect their degree certificates from the University’s Ceremonial Hall in the Main Building. This arrangement has been very well received, and the vast majority of graduates have taken advantage of the opportunity. This year was no exception, as graduates came, all dressed up, to the Main Building, many accompanied by their families, to celebrate an important achievement.

On this occasion, 75 candidates are graduating from the School of Social Sciences, 37 from the School of Health Sciences, 66 from the School of Humanities, 36 from the School of Education and 28 from the School of Engineering and Natural Sciences. All in all, 242 students joined the group of 445 candidates who graduated in February and the 2,639 candidates who graduated from Laugardalshöll this summer. The University has thus graduated a total of 3,3326 candidates from undergraduate and graduate studies in 2026.

The University of Iceland congratulates all candidates on their accomplishment and wishes them good luck in the future.
