Question
My Best Friend and I are planning on going to college in Iceland but I don't speak the language I was wondering if it's possible for me to be an English/Literature Major and A Forensic Science minor without having to speak the language

Answer
Hello Megan,

there are two main universities - the University of Iceland and the University of Reykjavík. Altogether there are eight institutes of higher education.

I suggest that you have a look at the websites of the two universities:
http://www2.hi.is/page/hi_is_english_frontpage

http://www.ru.is/?PageID=723

The principal language of instruction is Icelandic. Textbooks are mainly in English and Icelandic.

Good luck.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Laurence
