Health Insurance

Insurance is compulsory in Germany. This means that every registered person must have health insurance. Usually the health insurance coverage from your home country is not valid here (unless you come from an EU or EEA country) and you must take out a health insurance here. Further Information

  • If you want to enrol as a student and are under 30 years old, you must take out statutory health insurance. You are free to choose your insurance; the contributions for students are the same everywhere.
  • If you start your language course first or if you are older than 30 years, it is necessary / better to take out private insurance. However, contributions and benefits can vary greatly. Therefore, make sure to contact insurance providers and compare insurance policies and costs.
