Health Insurance for Exchange Students from Non-European Countries
International students who are not listed above and do not have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) need to purchase a German statutory health insurance prior to their stay at TU Darmstadt. Please see the top of the page for more information on where to begin your search.
Purchasing German Statutory Health Insurance
Student health insurance costs around EUR 105,- per month and it usually has to be purchased for the entire semester.
Important: The winter semester at TU Darmstadt starts in October, the summer semester in April. That’s why the German statutory health insurance is only valid from 1 October (or 1 April). If you are travelling to Germany earlier, for example in order to participate in our intensive German language courses in September or March, you need to have valid travel insurance for this period. Please refer to your health insurance in your home country for information on purchasing travel insurance.
