The School of General Academic Studies

To meet the needs of the students and to strengthen their independence and initiative

The role of the School of General Academic Studies is twofold. On the one hand it offers the core subjects such as English, Icelandic and mathematics that are required in all the schools and study programmes of Reykjavik Technical College. On the other hand it provides the possibility of graduating with matriculation certificate from Reykjavik Technical College.

Students graduating with a matriculation certificate from Reykjavik Technical College have the advantage of students graduating from traditional Icelandic upper secondary schools in that they have completed courses from two study programmes. The study towards the matriculation examination is therefore supplementary to the vocational branch that the students choose, such as design, computer studies, cabinet making etc. Students can also matriculate within the branch of natural sciences with a specialisation in aeronautics, electro technical studies, marine engineering or engine technology.

The objective of the School of General Academic Studies is to provide a solid foundation for its students in general academic subjects which are a necessary basis for all other studies. Furthermore to enable the students of all the schools and branches of Reykjavik Technical College to graduate with a matriculation certificate in addition to their specific vocational branch.

The policy of the School of General Academic Studies is to meet the needs of the students and to strengthen their independence and initiative.

The Principal is Ms. Kolbrun Kolbeinsdottir
