Health and accident insurance are compulsory in Switzerland. Exemptions may be granted upon presentation of one of the following :

  • An Equivalency Form, to be completed and signed by your insurer.

This form can be obtained from

All other students must take out insurance coverage for Switzerland. Several companies offer student insurance at affordable prices. The Institute has an agreement with CSS, which offers preferential rates
for students. The insurance contract is established solely between the student and the insurance company. The Institute is in no way responsible. The general rules and conditions accompanying the insurance contract are binding, particularly those relating to the nature and duration of the coverage.
