Student Health Insurance |
Non-EU students under 28Students under 28 are required to take out French student medical insurance, referred to as "Sécurité Sociale" or "Social Security". This entitles the student to a reimbursement of up to 70 % of the standard price of medical expenses incurred. Prescriptions, eyeglasses and dental expenses are subject to different rates. Coverage for one year from October 1 to the following September 30, regardless of when in the year a student enrolls, costs €200 for 2009-10. A student can and should also take out a complementary health insurance policy which may reimbourse up to 100% of expenses incurred. See information here. Non-EU students over 28Students who are 28 years old or over are not eligible for coverage under French student social security and are required to have private medical insurance coverage. One possible such insurance for foreign students is www.assistance-etudiants.com. See the AGS administrative office for more information. EU studentsNon-French EU-nationals are exempt from the above if they have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). More about this card on the EU website. |

Thanks to the technical skills and depth of perception I acquired in the EMSF program, I was able to land that M&A internship I wanted, competing against applicants from top French business schools.
