Welcome to the University of Iceland Student Counselling Centre (UISCC). Our staff offers support and services to university students during their studies, i.e., academic counselling, career counselling, disability services and psychological services, taking note of the Strategy of the University of Iceland 2021-2026. We look forward to seeing you. Strategy UI26 In our services, we put emphasis on the three guiding principles of the UI26, Quality - Trust - Agility. Quality We emphasize quality in all aspects of our work and in our services to students. We follow clear work processes, UI regulations and Equal Rights Policy. Our specialists provide variety of services on site and digital. They collaborate with other specialists within the UI and in the society. Trust We are conscious of the University's societal significance as an institution and serve students from diverse backgrounds. Our staff is bound to secrecy and follows UI Data Protection Policy. Agility We respond rapidly to change and challenges, both within the University and in society at large. For example when we made all our services digital for a period of time due to the pandemic. Our staff was solution-oriented and overcame many obstacles in order to provide necessary services to students. Collaboration UISCC actively participates in outreach programs and projects to strengthen the professional foundations of the UISCC. Our staff provides supervised training and practicum for students in the UI masters program in career counselling and guidance. UISCC participates in international collaboration, e.g., NUAS and Nordic networks about career counselling and disability services in higher education. We have also offered organized programmes to European career and guidance counsellors and our staff members have visited universities in several European countries.
