Insurance

 

If you are a Polish student or doctoral student, you benefit from coverage as a family member of an insured person in the following situations:

• until you are 26 years old – the obligation to register for insurance rests with the parents or legal guardians;
• without age limit – if you have a certificate of severe disability or other conditions treated equally – the obligation to register for insurance rests with your parents or legal guardians; 
• without age limit – if the spouse is subject to compulsory health insurance (resulting, e.g., from an employment relationship) – the obligation to register for insurance rests with the spouse.

The University will register you for health insurance for students and doctoral students if: 

• you are at least 26 years of age and are not subject to the insurance obligation on other grounds; 
• you have no family members who are subject to the health insurance obligation (parents, a spouse). 

Additionally, we encourage you to consider taking out an accident insurance policy, which is optional, but may come in handy if, for example, you break your arm or suffer any other injury (knock on wood!) - not only during the academic year and on the premises of the university.

In order to be enrolled for health insurance by the University of Lodz you need to contact the Dean’s Office of your Faculty. A student must submit a health insurance application form and a statement that they are not subject to the health insurance obligation on any other basis.

In the case of compulsory health insurance visit your Dean’s Office or the Secretary’s Office of your Doctoral School. An additional policy can be purchased on this website:
