Personal medical cover is required in most European countries, even in those that have a public health system. An insurance card will also be required by local authorities in order to apply for a residence permit after your arrival (if needed).

A mandatory insurance card, covering risks related to health, accidents, death, permanent invalidity, civil responsibility, is currently being provided to all 2021-intake by the MathMods Consortium.
Such insurance also complies with the minimum requirements set out by EACEA for Erasmus Mundus programmes.

In the months that precede your arrival we will send you information by email about the insurance coverage we recommend (the current student intake is being covered by Erasmus Plus Insurance by DrWalter, which costs 99 cents per day - taxes included). In some cases such insurance coverage might be included in your participation costs (please refer to the email message you are going to receive from our coordinators). Then, you can decide to buy a different one by yourself (but we will not assist you in this case) or keep the one you may already have in your country. But, in any case your insurance coverage will have to comply with some minimum requirements established by the consortium.

You may refer to these links if you wish to buy insurance by yourself -  all the below listed companies offer insurance that comply with the minimum requirements to obtain an Italian residence permit:

• Waitaly (cheapest option - valid for an Italian residence permit but not EACEA compliant)
• Expat & Co
• AON
• Protrip-World by DrWalter
