In order to participate in any Mobility Programme with the ULPGC, except for the SICUE mobility programme (between Spanish universities), the incoming Exchange student must demonstrate that he/she has taken out private medical insurance that covers at least the following guarantees during his/her stay at the ULPGC:

  • Medical and accident insurance

VERY IMPORTANT: This Private Health Insurance is not the European Health Insurance Card. However, you need both for your exchange.

Incoming students can take out an insurance of their choice (with at least the two guarantees mentioned above) or they can also take out the insurances offered by our University called “Oncampus Estudia” or the Universitas Mundu insurance on a trip.
