Health Insurance for Exchange Students
It is important that you are insured for your whole stay in Austria.
Usually EU- and EEA-citizens’ insurance policies are recognized here, but if you need medical care, you will normally have to pay for the treatment yourself and claim the reimbursement from your insurance company. In cases from other countries, you need to check with your insurance company if and how you are covered.
It is very advisable to insure yourself here in Austria as the rates for students are very favourable. If you are a regular student at an Austrian university with a regular residence (registration as a secondary residence is sufficient) in Austria you can apply for the students’ insurance. Monthly rates are around 25€ for full coverage.
The Student Service Center at MODUL University Vienna can help you with student insurance once you arrive to Vienna.
