General Details

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree QEM offers exclusive coverage to its scholarship students at no extra cost. Their families can also benefit from special premiums with the same insurers. NB: Students without the Erasmus Mundus scholarship can ask the QEM office for the price if they need to insure themselves.

All non-EU students selected for the Erasmus Mundus 2-year scholarship automatically receive free medical insurance coverage. The insurance covers their unexpected medical expenses in European countries the students visit during their Masters Course. The insurance also provides accident coverage and protects against some costs arising from civil liabilities (which is a third-party insurance required in many European countries). Full details are provided in the general conditions of the insurance coverag EMPS that you can find easely in the webpage of Marsh Insurance company.

The medical coverage also applies during the periods of travel while enrolled in The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree QEM.
