Australians - Study in Europe

 
 

 
 

This website is dedicated to making it easier for Australians to embark on postgraduate study in Europe.

As well as providing a host of links to relevant websites in Europe and Australia ASiE also undertakes research and consultation with the EU Commission, European governments and a great number of universities and foundations. The aim is to produce and update as much as possible all information concerning grants and scholarships available to Australian students seeking to pursue doctoral studies in Europe.

 
 

Healthcare & Insurance

To study in Germany be insured with a statutory health insurance carrier in Germany. If you are under 30, or have not completed more than 14 semesters, you can access the favourable student rates offered by most insurance funds. In addition, many student services organisations (Studentenwerke) offer Service Sets for International Students that include appropriate health insurance cover.

 

If you have any questions about health insurance, contact the Social Advice Office (Sozialberatungsstelle) at the Student Services Organisation (Studentenwerk) or the International Office at your institution.
For further information, see the DAAD website

If you are more than 30 years old (or have completed the 14th academic semester), you can no longer make use of the favourable student rates offered by the statutory health insurance carriers. You then have two options: firstly, to take out voluntary health insurance cover with a statutory health insurance carrier or, secondly, take out a private health insurance policy. In the latter case, the Deutsches Studentenwerk has negotiated favourable conditions with a private health insurance company. For further information, see here.
