The Reykjavík School of Visual Arts is an accredited partner of Erasmus+, the European Union’s education program for 2021–2027. This accreditation recognises the school’s strong long-term strategy for European cooperation in learning, teaching, and professional development. Erasmus+ awards this accreditation only to organisations that demonstrate high-quality results and a clear commitment to international education.

As part of the Erasmus+ programme, the school participates in both vocational education and training (VET) and in activities connected to pre‑school, primary, and secondary education.

This membership allows the school to apply for Erasmus+ study and training grants for:

  • current students
  • newly graduated students
  • teachers and staff

The school is also actively developing its international strategy, continuously creating opportunities for students and staff to engage in learning, training, and collaboration across Europe.

An Erasmus Project Manager oversees all communication with Erasmus+ in Iceland and supports students throughout the application process for internships abroad. Teachers and staff are also encouraged to make use of Erasmus+ to pursue further training and professional development across Europe.
