Insurance and Medical Care
All registered students are covered by the Swedish Personal Injury Insurance. The insurance applies in Sweden during school hours and while students are travelling to and from the university.
Additionally
- Incoming exchange students are covered by the Student IN insurance.
- Högskolan Dalarna has a complementary insurance that provides all registered international students, including freemovers, with the same coverage.
This insurance provides foreign students cover for medical expenses. It also contains a certain amount of accident cover in the form of a fixed amount in conjunction with disability or death, as well as liability and legal expenses cover. It applies twenty-four hours a day in Sweden.
The medical part of the insurance applies only to students who are not nationally registered (folkbokförd) in the EU.
You must be registered on our courses in order to receive full insurance coverage!

Outgoing Dalarna University Students
If you will be studying in another country (as part of the education you receive at Dalarna University), you are covered by the StudentUt insurance, provided you are registered with Dalarna University, and there is an agreement with the institution or company where you are going to study. In this case you need the Student Insurance card, which can be ordered from the International Office or from the Erasmus co-ordinator.
All students on European exchange should also bring the European Health Card, which can be ordered from www.fk.se. It gives you right to medical care in all EU-countries.
