Aircraft main­ten­ance eng­ineering offers many job opport­unities all across the country as well as abroad. Graduates from Technical Col­lege Reykjavík have gone on to work for Icelandair, the Icelandic coast guard and Air Atlanta, among others. The field offers many opport­unities for cont­inuing education and exp­anding your know­ledge.

All the courses are taught in Ice­land but the course language is English.
