In Germany, all students are required to have valid health insurance, otherwise no enrolment is possible. You are responsible to take care of your insurance status.?
?

There are two types of health insurance in Germany: public and private. As a student you must normally be insured by public German health insurance. You can only be insured privately in exceptional cases.
?

Please bring your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) with you to Augsburg. You will present the EHIC to a German health insurance company (You will receive further information who to contact). There you will receive a certificate that your EHIC is accepted as equivalent to German public health insurance and you will receive a waiver for the enrolment.?Students from Turkey: if you do not have a "European Health Insurance Card", you will need the document "A/T?11".

?

Change in the law as of 2019: 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 European insurance (EHIC) is no longer sufficient in that case.

Please note: ?Exchange students have to ensure sufficient insurance cover themselves! Please make sure that your insurance covers a medically necessary return transport to your home country Accident insurance, as well as personal liability insurance, can also be useful.?
