Combine further education and holidays and learn a foreign language at your desired destination! A stay abroad as a language or exchange student is the ideal opportunity to get to know another country and culture, to make new friends, and to learn a foreign language where it is spoken. Whether for a few weeks, months or a year, as a language or exchange student you will have numerous opportunities in various countries worldwide. This makes language learning an unforgettable experience!

In order to be able to embark on this adventure with complete peace of mind, reliable insurance cover is particularly important. After all, you can also fall ill abroad and there are many other risks against which you should insure yourself.

Overview

A few practical examples:

  • The candle falls from the table and causes a burn mark in the fixed carpet of your host family.

How do I find the right insurance?

If you organize your stay as a language and exchange student yourself, you also need to take care of your insurance coverage yourself. If you organize your stay through an organization, their insurance offer is suitable in many cases. Nevertheless, you should take your time and check the insurance offered.

Here are some questions that you should clarify before taking out an insurance:

  • Does the insurance meet the requirements of the destination country?
    You can get information on this e.g. from the responsible embassy or consulate.
  • Are the benefits of the health insurance sufficient?
    A good health insurance should offer you protection in case of illness and accident and cover medically reasonable return transport. Furthermore, the costs for individual treatments should not be limited and illnesses should not be generally excluded from the insurance cover.
  • Is there protection in case of interruption of your work, for example for a holiday?
  • Does the insurance also cover sports accidents?

Our recommendation

The Protrip World insurance for language and exchange students adapts to your travel plans. You have the choice between different travel regions and you can also flexibly choose the scope of insurance: 

Protrip World always includes a strong international health insurance. 

We especially recommend language and exchange students to supplement their insurance cover with the Standard or Complete Package to be able to travel and learn without worries. The two packages differ in the scope of the liability insurance. The Complete Package includes a higher basic insurance sum and covers, for example, the risk of losing your keys and damages arising from an act of favor (e.g. if you are helping a friend move). The worldwide assistance helps you in an emergency with a multilingual 24-hour emergency call service. If necessary, the assistant coordinates the contact to the doctor or hospital, issues a cost transfer and organizes further services such as the medical return transport of the patient.


If you choose a Protrip World insurance package, you benefit from the following insurance coverage:

Return transport

 

Contact in your native language

 

24-hour emergency hotline
