Insurance

All students from EU/ EEA countries must bring a European Health Insurance Card, implemented as of 1. June 2004, which entitles the students medical care during their stay in Norway.

Exchange students from other parts of the world apply for voluntary enrolment in the Norwegian National Health Scheme after arrival.
