Health insurance

You will need to provide valid proof of health insurance in order to enrol as a student.

All students in Germany are fundamentally obliged to have mandatory health insurance.As such, you must either have statutory health insurance (“Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung” – “GKV”) or have been exempted long-term.

Do you have statutory health insurance?

Get in touch with your statutory health insurance provider to let them know that you wish to start studying. You need to cite our unique sender ID H0001432 for this purpose.
Your statutory health insurance provider will confirm to us electronically that you have either

  • voluntary insurance,
  • compulsory insurance (via your parents or independently), or
  • are exempt from compulsory insurance. 

 

Do you have private health insurance? Or are you exempt?

If you have private health insurance or are exempt for any other reason, please contact any statutory health insurer (it doesn’t matter which) for advice, and they can potentially issue a certificate of exemption for the duration of your studies.

In this case, we will be advised electronically of your insurance status. You are not required to do or present anything else.
