Two. According to the Times Higher Education World University Ranking 20 17-20 18, the University of Iceland ranks 20 1-250 among the world universities, among which the engineering field (including electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and chemical engineering) ranks 176-200. University teaching quality is high, and the style of study is rigorous. Some disciplines such as geological science, geothermal utilization technology, chemical engineering, bioengineering and systems biology, genetic medicine research, computer application and software development technology, as well as Icelandic literature (including Sharjah literature and Eda literature) are in the forefront of the world. Famous alumni include 1955 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Halldór Laxness, former professor of Harvard University Kári Stefánsson, founder of gene decoding company and pioneer of bioengineering and systems biology Bernhard Palsson. Teaching and research personnel above associate professor must have a doctorate.
The University of Iceland has established cooperative relations with world-renowned universities such as Stanford University, California Institute of Technology and Columbia University. At the same time, it has a good exchange and cooperation relationship with Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beijing Normal University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, Jilin University, Nanjing University, Fudan University, East China Normal University, Tianjin University, China Ocean University, Hunan University and other well-known domestic universities, so as to jointly promote the development of higher education.
Located in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, the University of Iceland is one of the top universities in Northern Europe and a world-famous research university. The University of Iceland is adjacent to the seashore, with beautiful environment and superior geographical location, and is the highest institution of learning in Iceland. The University of Iceland enjoys a high reputation in the fields of science and technology, humanities and art, and its research in the fields of energy (geothermal technology), physics, chemistry, geological science, genetic medicine, computer application, software development and Icelandic literature (including Sharjah literature and Eda literature, alumni won Nobel Prize in Literature 1955) is in the forefront of the world.
Especially because of Iceland's unique energy advantages and cool climate, many world technology companies and institutions such as Microsoft, Advania and European Computing Center have set up their own data centers and supercomputing centers in Iceland, which makes Iceland University have great advantages in computer technology, computational chemistry, data analysis, information security and other fields. Thanks to Iceland's highly developed economy and high investment in education, professors from the University of Iceland have graduated from top universities in Europe and America, and have maintained a high degree of cooperation with European and American universities for a long time.
The teaching mode of the University of Iceland adopts a small but precise teaching mode similar to that of California Institute of Technology. Due to the small population in Iceland and the small scale of the University of Iceland, the per capita research expenditure of Dabing in the field of natural science reaches 70,000 US dollars, and the overall research of the school is rigorous and the teaching quality is high. Iceland's universities rank 67th in the world in terms of their citation/research influence (MIT ranks first for reference), and they are all among the top 250 universities in the world. The long-term goal of the university is to build the university into a world-class university with a ranking of 100.
Three. The University of Iceland has five major colleges, namely, Education College, Social Science College, Humanities College (Literature Department, Theology Department, Social Science Department and Law Department), Health Science College (Medicine Department, Dentistry Department, Nursing Department, Pharmacy Department and National Hospital) and Engineering and Natural Science College (covering Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Industrial Engineering and department of mechanical engineering Department and Life and Environmental Science Department). The University of Iceland also has more than 40 research institutes (departments) and centers in different disciplines. National hospitals, national libraries and national museums are also managed by Da Bing. The Institute of Natural Science is one of the largest institutes in the University of Iceland. There are 7 research laboratories in physics, chemistry, mathematics, applied mathematics and computer science, earth science and geophysics, and more than 30 research groups (laboratories), with more than 100 employees, including 49 professors and associate professors and 57 other senior researchers. Most majors in the University of Iceland offer master's and doctoral degrees.

In 2004, the state allocated about 8.365438 million Canadian dollars+500,000 pounds. The lottery proceeds are all used for school building construction. In addition, the research funds of various research institutes come from different channels: state grants, national science funds, university science funds, companies and international organizations. In 2005, the total funding of the Institute of Natural Sciences was US$ 7.5 million (US$ 70,000 per capita), of which the state allocated 4144.4 million Icelandic krona (equivalent to US$ 6.6 million). Except for individual disciplines (dentistry, business administration, etc.). ), the University of Iceland does not charge tuition fees, and only needs to pay a registration fee of $500 per semester, but the rest of the fees (teaching materials, accommodation, etc. ) are self-care, without any funding.
