Kammarkollegiet's insurance: Student-OUT
Students who are doing an internship abroad under an agreement between Malmö University and a foreign educational institution, company or other institution, are covered by the group insurance policy Student OUT. This is provided by Kammarkollegiet. Make sure to read the terms and conditions before you go abroad.
Please note that:
- Student OUT does not provide any coverage if you are studying from somewhere other than your host country. If you are conducting distance studies from Malmö, or somewhere other than the place where your host university is situated, you will need an additional insurance.
- The insurance does not cover any travels outside the host country. The exemptions are study trips with a supervisor where Kammarkollegiet have been notified in advance.
- From 1 July 2021 the Student OUT insurance will not be valid for travels to countries where the Ministry for Foreign Affairs advice against all travels, even if this advice is issued to another part of the country than where you are meant to be travelling. The advice against travels should be in place at the time of your travels for the insurance not to be valid. If you started your travels before the advice against travels, you are covered by the insurance for a maximum of 30 days when the advice applies. During this time you are expected to travel back to Sweden. More information about the Ministry for Foreign Affairs advice against travels can be found on the Governmental offices website (in Swedish).
-
From July 1, 2021; if the country of study is the country in which you are domiciled, the only clauses that apply are 2.1 Personal injury cover and 2.5 Liability cover.
If something happens during the time you are away, you report this by making a claim. Information about the claim form can be found on the Kammarkollegiet's website.
