School insurance


Student insurance cover is compulsory for all students under the age of 28. You must pay for your insurance when you enrol. If you are not from the European Union you must also have a non-EU-citizen student card (targeta d'estudiant extracomunitària).

Student insurance covers the following:
• Accidents at university. You have free medical and pharmaceutical assistance and have the right to indemnities or benefits.
• Medical consultation.
• Illnesses included in the student insurance cover.
• Family tragedy in the student's home, due to the death of the head of the household, bankruptcy or the death of a family member, preventing the student from finishing his or her studies.

The National Institute of Social Security (INSS) is responsible for processing insurance applications. You can find information on student insurance cover and services on their website. You can also call the free telephone number (900 166 565) or contact the Centre for Social Security Assistance and Information (CAISS) of the INSS.
