Insurance

What are they good for and which ones do I need? We'll explain that here.

 

The principle of "insurance" - how does it work?

Insurance protects us from the financial consequences of unforeseen events, such as illness, accident, theft,...

The principle of insurance is based on the collective, which assumes the financial risks of individual insurance members. For this, each member pays a contribution to protect each other. If something happens/damage occurs, the insurance company pays (depending on the contract!) part or all of the costs.

 

Which insurances do students have?

There are two insurances you cannot avoid:

  • Health insurance - is a requirement for enrollment.
  • Statutory accident insurance - your university/university will take out this insurance for you.

It also makes sense to take out private liability insurance. And occupational disability insurance can also be a forward-looking investment during the course of your studies.
