Insurance

Health insurance, personal liability insurance, and accident insurance are not included in the course fee.

If you live in a EU country, please bring along your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which is valid for the duration of the International Summer Course and your time of study.

If you come from a non-EU-country and you want to study in Giessen, you must register with a German health insurance company. You can register with a health insurance company during the International Summer Course in the first week of the course. Sufficient health insurance is mandatory. Health insurance for students costs approx. € 125 per month.

Please note: If you register with a health insurance company in Giessen, the insurance cover will only become effective on October 1!

We strongly recommend that you obtain a health insurance for the duration of your stay in your home country prior to departure. It should also cover your arrival and departure days.
