Insurances

All non-EU/EEA students will be provided with AON insurance. Please note that other (health) insurance policies may not be accepted in the Netherlands as they do not comply with Dutch regulations.

Students with an alternative insurance policy that does not provide this coverage are strongly advised to take out additional insurance, which is quite costly compared with the all-in package via ITC. You will receive your insurance policy by e-mail, directly from AON insurance company.

Course participants from the European Union should apply for a European Health Card in their own country. The cover offered by this insurance card is very limited. They are strongly recommended to use the health insurance of AON Consulting, The Hague, in combination with the insurance for liability, luggage, household contents, emergency assistance, accidental death, and dismemberment.

For ITC students who are over 30 years old and staying in the Netherlands for more than three years (PhD-students or unpaid international researchers), please check with the ITC Student Affairs Office or the Nuffic website whether your current insurance is still the right one.

Sometimes (PhD-) students receive letters of CAK (a public organization that checks whether a specific citizen is insured in accordance with Dutch law). Students who receive a letter from CAK, which is usually written in Dutch, should not ignore these letters and call in to see an ITC Student Affairs Officer who can help with filling in the necessary form to prove that the individual is insured in accordance with Dutch law.

Although it is not obliged by Dutch law, insurance to cover the costs of repatriation and personal liability is strongly recommended.
