In Germany, all students are required to have valid health insurance, otherwise no enrolment is possible. You are responsible for making sure that you are properly insured for the duration of your exchange semester.

EU citizens can usually receive / already have access to the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) from their national insurance provider. In this case, no additional German health insurance is necessary for your enrolment at the University of Augsburg. We will ask for your EHIC during the enrolment process. As an EU national, you can receive medical care in Germany equivalent to what public German health insurance would cover. Please make sure to bring your physical EHIC with you to Augsburg!

Students from Turkey will need the document "A/T 11" to enrol at the University of Augsburg and receive free healthcare in Germany.

Additional travel insurance is advisable to cover transportation to your home country in case of emergencies.

Working in Germany: European students who are employed in Germany and are paid accordingly are required to take out a student insurance policy in Germany (retroactive from the moment the student started working). The EHIC is no longer sufficient in that case.
 

Please note:  Accident insurance as well as personal liability insurance can also be useful. Exchange students have to ensure sufficient insurance coverage themselves!
