Health and travel insurance

All international students must purchase health insurance before arriving at the University of Almería.

Seguro

The University of Almería, as most of the Spanish universities, requires students to buy a mandatory insurance that covers some contingencies during the whole mobility period.

Students are free to take out valid health insurance with any company they consider appropriate, provided that the following contingencies are covered:

  • Medical and healthcare assistance

  • Repatriation or medical transport of injured or ill persons

  • Repatriation or transport of the deceased insured person

  • Personal accidents

  • Personal civil liability

Please remember that uploading this document to UMove is mandatory to complete your registration at UAL. Furthermore, if you are a KA107, ISEP, or PIMA student, it is required in order to receive your scholarship. As a mobility student, it is your responsibility to upload a valid insurance policy that meets all the requirements before your stay begins.

Students belonging to SICUE mobility do not need a private insurance because they are covered by the Spanish public health system.

It is reminded that students of the Degree in Physical Activities and Sport Sciences must state this circumstance with the purpose of covering the curricular sport activities within the insurance.

When you have bought your insurance, you must upload to UMove documents section, a Spanish or English insurance certificate which specifies the above mentioned covered benefits.
