Insurance

Health insurance is compulsory for everyone living in Switzerland and is the student’s responsibility.

The school will automatically enrol and invoice each student for health insurance with a company in Switzerland except for those already living in Switzerland. Once enrolled, there will be no change to the contract until the end of the current semester even if the student leaves the school for whatever reason.
