In general, a student exchange lasts one semester. Students can therefore complete a part of their studies in foreign places. Preparations are being made for cooperation with art schools in Asia, including China, Japan, and Thailand. Within NordPlus, the University collaborates with around 90 art HEI in the Nordic and Baltic area. The IUA has made bilateral agreements with about 120 higher education institutions in Europe through the Erasmus programme.

The Iceland University of the Arts places emphasis on enhancing cooperation with other higher education institutions in the country and various other institutions and enterprises. In that way we strengthen our courage to follow through on our convictions and our artistic vision. Through understanding and training we develop the talents and skills we require. We dissect those answers and strive to understand what is foreign to us. Three main values guide the focus and direction of the IUA in all of its work:Ĭuriosity prompts us to ask questions and search for new approaches, solutions and answers.
It operates in a global environment and measures itself against academies that excel in arts education in neighbouring countries. The IUA offers education in the arts at the university level and conveys both knowledge and professionalism in the arts to Icelandic society. The role of the Iceland University of the Arts is to encourage progressive thinking in the arts and to stimulate innovation and development in different fields. The Iceland University of the Arts is a self-governing institution providing higher education in fine arts, theatre, dance, music, design, architecture, and art education.
