As a student at Chalmers, you are automatically covered by a personal injury insurance policy through Kammarkollegiet, a Swedish public agency that provides insurance for higher education students.
The rules may differ depending on your citizenship and whether you are an exchange student or a fee-paying student. You are insured during school hours plus while travelling to and from the school. It includes protection against injuries caused by accidents and certain illnesses due to infection.
However, this is only a starting point. To ensure full protection, it is essential that you arrange:
- Accident insurance that covers your free time and other activities.
- Home insurance – a must-have to protect your belongings and provide support in case of theft, fire, or water damage.
Home insurance is especially important! It not only covers your personal property but also includes liability protection and legal assistance. Without it, you may be left without support when unexpected events occur.
Insurance Based on Your Student Status
