Health/Medical Insurance

All students must be covered by French National Student Health Insurance (Sécurité sociale) in order to qualify for full-time student status.

As full time students you will be required by French law to adhere to the national social security system for your health coverage. The cost is low, and allows you access to all doctors. It is recommended that you pay a minimal extra fee for complementary insurance so that your coverage will be 100%.
