The University of Münster mandates that all students have adequate health insurance coverage. Do note that students from non-EU countries would be required to obtain a health insurance policy in Germany, whether or not they have one at home. Student health insurance policies cost roughly 350 Euros per 6-month semester.

Some of the most popular public health insurance companies include AOK, Barmer GEK and TK (Techniker Krankenkasse). 

Flying Chalks’ tip: When comparing available insurance options, do keep an eye out for the duration of the insurance coverage – make sure it’s just right for the period of your stay!
