Insurance arrangements for outgoing/incoming exchange students

During the course of your stay, Universities cannot accept responsibility for loss of, or damage to, your personal belongings or property. Neither can the University accept liability for any loss, damage or injury which may arise from your participation in activities which are outside the control of the University. You are strongly advised to take out personal insurance to cover these matters.

Students originating from European Union Member states should also be holders of the European Health Insurance Card that can be of considerable benefit to you should you require medical assistance during your stay abroad.

The European Health Insurance Card

The European Health Insurance Card makes it easier for people from the European Union’s 27 Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland to access health care services during temporary visits abroad.

What are the practical benefits of the card?

The card ensures that you will get the same access to public sector health care (eg a doctor, a pharmacy, a hospital or a health care centre) as nationals of the country you are visiting. If you have to receive medical attention in a country that charges for health care, you will be reimbursed either immediately, or after you go home to your own country. The idea is that you are given the care you need to allow you to continue with your stay.

However, it is important to note that the card does not cover your health care costs while abroad if you are travelling in order to obtain treatment for an illness or injury that you had before travelling. Nor does the card cover you for private sector health care providers.

E.U. Citizens

As a member of the E.U., a VISA is not necessary. Please be sure that you complete all standard admission procedures for your programme.

Non E.U. Citizens

If you are a non E.U.citizen, You must have a valid VISA to study in the E.U. Here I have outlined the standard process below. All students need check with the nearest Spanish embassy in your respective home countries so as to make sure that all is in order, and that all pre-requisites are satisfied.

The first thing you need is to ask for a ¨VISADO DE ESTUDIANTE, LETTER D¨ (student Visa, letter D). General documentation includes a medical certificate, and a letter assuring that you can cover costs while you are in Spain, photocopies if you have any financial aid or grants, a valid passport (with photocopies). We will be happy to provide you with an official acceptance letter for VISA purposes.

You may also wish to consult www.eurovisa.info to for SCHENGEN visa information and application forms.
