Insurance

In principle, all students in Germany are required to have health insurance. You cannot enrol without providing proof that you have health insurance.

Detailed information on compulsory health insurance for students can be found on the Health Insurance page.

It is also advisable to take out liability insurance, which provides protection in the event of you causing any damage to property. At many departments, laboratory liability insurance is a prerequisite for using laboratory facilities. All insurance policies should be canceled in good time before departure.

In the event of an accident, exchange students should contact  International Affairs (RIA). RIA staff provide support and inform the respective home university.
