You are fully responsible of the insurance arrangements before and upon your arrival in France:
- Bring the required insurances from home according to your situation, or
- subscribe to the required insurances in France according to your situation,
- in all cases, you should know how to use your insurance coverages and what they exactly cover.
You need to make sure you are covered for the following insurances, according to your situation, while you are studying in Grenoble. These insurances must be valid for your whole stay at GEM.
Exchange students:
Remember to check with your home university whether they can provide you with a study abroad insurance and check the guarantees covered.

You need to make sure you are covered for the following insurances, according to your situation, while you are studying in France. These insurances must be valid for your whole stay at GEM:

Attention!
Please note that international students who are eligible for French Healthcare must be covered by their own health insurance until they may benefit from the French healthcare system. This is very important and compulsory in case of serious illnesses or diseases, treatments and/or pregnancy. Students under this situation should take out a health coverage for the at least the first 4 to 6 months in France. Arrangements should be made before arrival in France. It will be extremely difficult to arrange this on arrival as not all French insurance brokers can offer the right coverage.
You can find further information about insurances in the guide for international students, which is updated regularly. Information is subject to change.
