Under the Higher Education Act of 2006, access to public educational institutions is free of charge apart from registration fees. The payments are made directly to the higher education institution in question.

Registration fees for public institutions are approx. ISK46,000 for each academic year, and the fee is the same for all fields of study. Included in the registration fee is a financial contribution for the institution’s student union. In most fields of study, students can make voluntary financial contributions to student organisations in their fields of study in addition to the payment of fees.
