Career

Working during and after study in Iceland

Understand the legal conditions first, then evaluate how your programme connects to employers and further study.

Immigration status matters

Work rights differ by nationality, residence status and study load. Verify the current rules with the competent authority.

Use institutional career support

Ask universities about internships, career services, employer partnerships and graduate outcomes for your field.

Plan beyond graduation

If you intend to remain after study, research the residence route and eligibility well before your student status ends.
