How are students insured during a voluntary internship?

A voluntary internship is not an obligatory part of your study programme.

• If the internship takes place before or after your studies and if you are paid, you must insure yourself with us as an employee. If you are not paid, you can take out voluntary insurance.
• If you want to complete a voluntary internship at the same time as your studies, the same rules apply as if you had a job alongside your studies. If you want to continue to be covered by our student health insurance plan, you should not work any more than 20 hours per week.
