Student insurance

All students at the university are covered by accident insurance while on the university premises and on their way to and from the university. However, very specific definitions apply. It is important that students contact their department in the occurrence of accident or injury. The insurance provider for students at Uppsala University is Kammarkollegiet, the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency. Read more about the Personal Injury Insurance policy, the terms and conditions, and find the claim form on their website.

The claim form must be signed by you and your institution (your contact person at Uppsala University), and sent by regular mail to Kammarkollegiet.

Students who have paid tuition at Uppsala University are insured through the university via an institution called Kammarkollegiet. This does not include students who are citizens or EU/EEA countries and Switzerland, unless they too pay tuition fees. The insurance policy covers accidents, sickness, dental care, emergency home transportation, liability, legal rights, and property. It applies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in Sweden.

Insurance certificate

Kammarkollegiet does not provide an insurance card. However, students can obtain an insurance certificate from Kammarkollegiet by submitting a request to the university.

Period of coverage

Insurance is valid from two weeks before students register at Uppsala University to two weeks after the semester has officially ended.

Fee-paying students with a residence permit valid for at least 12 months

International students with a Swedish residence permit valid for at least 12 months are entitled to receive the same healthcare benefits as Swedish citizens. However, to obtain these privileges students must enter into the population register and receive a personal identity number. To do this, students must visit the Swedish Tax Agency, Skatteverket, as soon as they have a permanent address in Sweden.

It can take time to receive a Swedish personal identity number. However, as long as students can provide documents that show they have registered with the Swedish Tax Agency they will be covered for medical care. This coverage does not apply during travel to Sweden or the time spent in the country before entering the population register. Therefore, to be fully-covered, students must have additional travel insurance.

When visiting a health care clinic or hospital you should quote your personal identity number to ensure that you are have access to the subsidised cost.

International students with a formal exchange agreement are covered by the insurance "Student IN". This insurance provides emergency medical and dental coverage, emergency home transportation, personal property coverage, third party liability and legal protection. It provides coverage in Sweden 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please note that there is a deductible for personal property coverage. You find more about the Student IN insurance policy, terms and conditions and the insurance claim form at their website.
