As a student at Chalmers, you are automatically covered by a personal injury insurance through Kammarkollegiet, a Swedish government agency that provides insurance for students in higher education.
The rules may differ depending on your citizenship and whether you are an exchange student or a fee-paying student. You are insured during your studies and while travelling to and from the university. The insurance covers injuries caused by accidents and certain infectious diseases.
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 is essential for protecting your belongings and providing support if your property is damaged by 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

Need an Insurance Certificate?
