Health insurance

Until you turn 26, you are registered for health insurance by your parents. If for some reason this is not possible, the University may do it at your request.

The University will also insure you if you have already reached the age of 26 and are not insured under an employment contract or a contract of mandate.

Regardless of age, foreign students with a valid Pole's Card or an opinion on their Polish origin may also apply for health insurance (and copies of these documents should be enclosed with the application for health insurance).

The application form and additional information can be found at the website of the UW Student Welfare and Support Office.

Once you have completed the application, enclose a certificate of the status of a current UW student.

Bring both documents to the student office or directly to the Student Welfare and Support Office (address ul. Dobra 55, rooms 00.088- 00.094, Monday – Thursday: 9:00 am – 3:00 pm, or send them to: Krakowskie Przedmieście 26/28 00-927 Warsaw).

When filling in the application form, remember to enter your Warsaw address and make sure that it is consistent with the data in USOS (if you have an out-of-date address in USOS, ask the Student Office to change it);

According to article 67 section 5 point 2 of the Act on health care services financed from public funds, the right to health care services for persons who have graduated from a university or doctoral school - expires after 4 months from their graduation or being removed from the list of students or doctoral students.
