HEALTH INSURANCE

Health insurance is compulsory for all students of HBKsaar.

Holders of a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) present the card to the International Office.

Students who cannot obtain an EHIC in their home country can get a German Student Health Insurance.  The ERASMUS office can provide you with more information after your arrival.

Students who are covered by a private insurance in their home country should ensure that their coverage is sufficient for Germany. A written proof of coverage is necessary for enrolment at the HBKsaar. In case of doubt, students must present their proof of health insurance to a German insurance company which will then issue the students a certificate of exemption.
