All students are covered by a personal injury insurance policy through Chalmers’ agreement with the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency (Kammarkollegiet). Students may also be covered by other insurance depending on their student status. For comprehensive insurance coverage, you must have accident insurance to cover other eventualities/leisure pastimes, as well as home insurance.
Kammarkollegiet is a Swedish public agency that provides different types of insurance policies for students in higher education. The rules may differ depending on your citizenship and whether you are an exchange student or, say, a fee-paying student.
Please make sure that your insurance company is aware of your stay in Sweden. As policies on accident, medical and property insurance vary from one country to another, you are advised to find out what applies in your case.
Personal injury insurance for all students
The personal injury insurance provides basic protection, covering personal injury due to an accident and certain illnesses caused by infection. You are covered during school hours and while travelling directly between your place of residence and the university. However, very specific definitions apply.
