Health Insurance
If you wish to study in Germany, you will need valid health insurance to complete the enrollment process at a university. We recommend you take out health insurance with one of the statutory health insurance companies in Germany (like BARMER, TK, DAK or AOK). For students, the monthly contribution for health insurance is currently approx. € 150. Prospective students can take out an online contract for a health insurance before coming to Germany by contacting one German health insurance provider.
The following German statutory health insurance providers offer student health insurance. You can visit their websites to sign up for health insurance:
If you have already taken out health insurance in your home country, please check whether it is also valid in Germany. You will not be able to enrol at a German university if you do not have sufficient insurance cover.
