International language school students, university students and preparatory course students: those attending higher education bodies can select MAWISTA Student health insurance. The MAWISTA Student tariffs have an excellent price–performance ratio and meet the requirements of the immigration authorities.  You must be exempt from statutory health insurance in order to register to study at a German university. In this case a private health insurance policy must be presented to any statutory health insurance provider. This provider then issues an exemption certificate or send this electronically to the university. Statutory health insurance companies often have offices at universities with representatives who can help with this. The decision to choose private or statutory health insurance should be considered carefully, as this choice is binding for the entire duration of your study.
