Student: Study abroad and travel insurance

What types of insurance offer coverage while I study abroad?

Purchase home contents and travel insurance for optimal protection in case of accidents, injuries, or illnesses.

Home contents insurance will cover your belongings abroad and in Denmark during your study abroad program for up to three months. You can extend this coverage free of charge to a maximum of six months. Please note that the insurance is only valid if you maintain your official residence in Denmark.

Travel insurance covers illness, repatriation, and trip curtailment, among other factors, during the same period.

While you might also consider student internship insurance, please be aware that this product was discontinued on June 1, 2022.

Does my Travel Insurance cover if I combine a study abroad semester with a holiday or in connection with an unpaid internship?

Yes, the coverage applies for the entire duration of your stay. However, please remember to confirm your total coverage period. 

Do you need a waiver or confirmation of travel insurance for your educational institution abroad? Once you purchase the insurance, you must present documentation to the institution.

The school administration can provide a waiver, which we can help you fill out.

I have a Waiver, and I need help to fill it out

Can I buy student internship insurance without having travel insurance?

No, this insurance product is no longer available.

You only need to make sure your Travel Insurance covers the entire trip.

What coverings are not part of a student internship insurance policy?

Please pay particular attention to the absence of the following covers in the insurance policy:

• Travel guarantee
• Compensation for purchasing a new trip
• Compensation for ruined holiday days

Does my Student Internship Insurance cover if I combine my study abroad with a leisure trip?

If you purchased it before June 1, 2022, it is required that your trip's primary purpose is either a study program or an unpaid internship. However, if you plan to extend your stay for leisure, that portion must not exceed one-third of your total trip duration. If it does, your Study Internship Insurance will not cover you.
