Health Insurance
All students in Germany must take out mandatory health insurance (§ 5 para. 1 no. 9 of the German Social Security Code Part V (SGB V)). For this reason, every foreign student must also become a member of a public (statutory) fund or a substitute fund or obtain private insurance. The member contribution to public health insurance funds currently amounts to around € 80 per month. Further information on the health insurance system in Germany and on student health insurance can be found here.
