Actually, I'd recommend going there to study economy, since where would it be better to study a complete economical model of the capitalist economical rules that has failed on a nation-wide basis ?

Oh, and give it two more years... Britain is wobbling already, Germany has it going tough and several eastern-European nations will have a rough time as well.

Even the USA hasn't seen the end of the depression. Hell, it hasn't even seen but the introduction of it yet.

And here we're talking of economic systems two orders of magnitude larger than the Icelandic one...

That was rather naive. You demand that no generalizations are made about the similarity of the UK and EU educational systems because you don't know enough yourself to tell the difference?

Duh!

According to the Eurpean Credit Transfer and accumulation System (ECTS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Credit_Transfer_and_Accumulation_System ) you can very well take classes in the UK and have the credits transferred. Usually, the English credits transfer 2:1, while the Scottish credits have a little different evaluation.

Most of Europe however IS enforcing the ECTS and as such, studies abroad should be no problem for most.

On the graduate level (Masters degree), classes are usually taught in english, regardless of country.

If you wish to specialize in Artificial Intelligence, I can recommend Reykjavik University ( http://www.ru.is/ ). The A.I. department has won the last two international generic game playing agent contests and has a full house of very respectable professionals. The head of the Computer Science department is a former NASA employee and the others are no less.

And it adds value that the Icelandic Krona is so deflated that it's probably cheaper to study here than even in eastern Europe :P
