International student insurance : studies, internships and exchanges covered worldwide
Mondassur supports you in choosing the right international student insurance to ensure full protection during your studies abroad. Join over 100,000 insured members in more than 190 countries.
Studying abroad exposes you to medical costs that your regular health coverage may not cover or only partially. A specialist consultation in the United States can quickly exceed your budget. Hospitalization in Japan or Canada can rapidly reach several thousand euros. Whatever your country of origin or destination, Mondassur offers international student health insurance tailored to your profile, budget and length of stay.
Three plans available: Student Backup for emergencies, Student Budget for balanced coverage, Student Global for complete protection including routine care, maternity and pre-existing conditions. Before you leave, get your international health insurance certificate.

International student health insurance that supports you at every stage of your stay
Studying or doing an internship abroad means facing situations that few students truly anticipate: an unexpected medical visit, an accident during a weekend trip, a dispute with a landlord or a university that rejects your application without a proper insurance certificate.
Health insurance for international students is not just about medical coverage. It also determines access to certain institutions, particularly in the United States where universities require minimum coverage levels, eligibility for certain student visas, and peace of mind throughout your entire stay.
Students going on Erasmus exchanges, as free movers, on university programs outside Europe, on international internships or gap years have different needs depending on their destination. A student spending six months in Spain does not face the same financial risks as a student in a US master’s program or an internship in Australia. That is why Mondassur offers three levels of coverage designed for every profile, from the budget plan to the comprehensive coverage accepted for US university waivers.
Worldwide medical coverage 24/7
In the event of a medical emergency, Mondassur arranges direct payment with the healthcare facility: you do not need to pay upfront for hospitalization. The assistance platform is available 24/7 worldwide. Medical expenses are reimbursed at 100% of actual costs depending on the plan chosen, from the first euro spent.
Legal protection internationally
In the event of a dispute with a landlord, employer or university, Mondassur covers legal fees up to €30,000 (€16,000 in the United States). A guarantee rarely included in standard insurance for international students and particularly useful for professional internships.
civil liability included in all plans
Whether you are in class, on an internship or in shared housing, civil liability covers you against material, non-material or bodily damage you may unintentionally cause, including damage to the student accommodation you occupy.
Routine care reimbursed according to your plan
Student Budget and Student Global cover consultations, medications, radiology, dental care, optical care and preventive medicine (vaccines, contraception). Student Global also covers pre-existing conditions and is accepted for US university waivers.

Choose the plan that best suits your needs using our comparison table. Whether you are going abroad for a few months or several years, for an internship or academic studies, this overview helps you quickly identify the essential benefits: medical emergencies, hospitalization, routine care, maternity, optical and dental care, civil liability, and more.
Don’t wait, choose the international student health insurance plan that best matches your needs, your budget and your country of study today.
Still unsure which plan to choose ? Here are some simple guidelines. If you are leaving for less than six months in a European country or a destination with low medical costs, Student Backup covers the essentials at a lower price. If your stay exceeds six months or your destination requires high coverage levels (United States, Canada, Australia, Japan), Student Global is the right plan : it is recognized for US university waivers and covers pre-existing conditions. Student Budget suits students who want comprehensive international student health insurance without opting for the highest level of coverage.
In all cases, subscribing before departure is the golden rule : some contracts apply a waiting period if you subscribe from abroad, which may leave you without coverage for the first few days. Do not wait until you arrive to protect yourself.
