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


Norway has a very high quality universal health service and if you studying in a course that is longer than 12 months you will be automatically covered by it. In most parts of the country this will mean you are entitled to free medical care.
If the duration of your stay in Norway is between 3 and 12 months you should fill in a special form entitling you to social security coverage with regard to health services in accordance with the National Insurance Scheme. The form must be sent to the insurance office in the municipality in which you are staying. Your institution’s international office should be able to help you with this.

Students who do not fill in this form or students who stay in Norway less than three months are expected to have health insurance coverage from their home country. Australia has an reciprocal health agreement with Norway and Australian citizens in Norway are entitled to medical treatment under the Norwegian national health scheme. You should check the relevant Medicare site  for full information.

Some institutions provide on campus health services. The semester card which you receive by semester registration may entitle you free medical treatment at the institution's student health services.
