The Faroe Islands are a small island nation in the North Atlantic, halfway between Scotland and Iceland, with a population of just about 50,000 people. The Faroes technically belong to the Kingdom of Denmark, but have enjoyed a relatively high degree of autonomy since 1948. As a consequence of its autonomy, the Faroe Islands do not - unlike Denmark - belong to the EU or the Schengen area.
The Faroes have one local university, the University of the Faroe Islands, at which one Master's degree is taught in English; all other study options are taught in Faroese.
