Insurance

To be able to enroll ERASMUS students must have the European Health Insurance Card (in case the student come from one of the 27 EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) and a private insurance that covers them in case of accident during mobility (all the students).

Basic coverage is usually provided by social security during your stay in another European Union country through the European Health Insurance Card. However, this coverage may not be sufficient in some cases and you may need a complementary private insurance. Check with your sending organisation as they are responsible for ensuring that you have the adequate insurance. You should also make sure you are covered with liability insurance for any accidents you're involved in, leading to property damage, whilst on mobility.

Should the students have no insurance, information will be provided so that they can process an insurance policy.
