Insurance

Dutch law requires every citizen to be insured for at least Health Care and Liability. European students can take out their own insurance. Non-European students will be insured by Saxion Universities’ International Office. Saxion will only be able to apply for your insurance if your visa and residence permit application are handled by the International Office.

Health and Liability Insurance

Basic health insurance covers all general costs of doctor visits, prescription medicine, basic dental care and accident and casualty care at the Hospital. The University will arrange for students to be registered with a family doctor who is willing to accept patients.

Liability insurance is essential in the Netherlands, because whenever someone damages property (of others) or injures people, he/she is immediately held financially responsible. The normal cover against liability is up to an amount of 500,000 EUROS.

Insurance not arranged by Saxion

Students should be aware that the University cannot arrange Travel Insurance, Property Insurance (for theft, fire, etc in your home) or other kinds of Insurance than the items mentioned above.
