General information
All students, and also doctoral students with scholarships at Chalmers (hereafter students), are covered during school hours and direct travel between the place of residence and the school through Chalmers’ agreement with Kammarkollegiet (the Swedish Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency) on personal injury insurance.
The personal injury insurance provides good basic cover including personal injuries through accidents, and in some cases illness through contagion. For comprehensive insurance cover, students must take out their own accident insurance to cover other times/leisure time as well as home insurance.

Personal insurance
Please make sure that your insurance company is informed about your stay in Sweden. As the policies (regarding accident, medical or property insurance) vary from one country to another, you are advised to find out what applies in your case.
Exchange students at Chalmers
Like all other students, incoming exchange students at Chalmers are insured during school hours and direct travel between the place of residence and the school. The insurance is valid in Sweden and covers primarily accidents during school hours and travel to and from the school.
Incoming exchange students are also covered by Student IN. This requires the student to study or train within the frame of an exchange agreement, i.e., an agreement must have been drawn up between Chalmers and the foreign seat of learning.
Student IN includes a limited amount of accident cover during leisure time, the right to compensation for emergency medical care or emergency dental care (not EU), home transport cover, liability protection and legal protection.
