Health insurance

Health insurance for students from EU/EEA countries
If you are a citizen of an EU/EEA country or Switzerland, you must bring either the European Health Insurance Card (ec.europa.eu) or documentation of private health insurance when you enter Norway.

If you have private health insurance, please clarify with your insurance office whether your coverage applies to Norway.

Health insurance for students from countries outside the EU/EEA
All students from countries outside the EU/EEA should have private or public health insurance to cover their first weeks in Norway.
 
Students staying in Norway for more than 3 months can become members of the National Insurance Scheme (nav.no). Please note that this membership means "coverage under the health section". If you should get ill and need medical treatment, the insurance will cover this within Norway, but not in another European country.
 

Travel insurance 

We strongly recommend a travel insurance in addition. Students are not entitled to personal insurance coverage through the school.
 
AHO does not cover insurance for the students’ private belongings. It is every student’s own responsibility to protect personal equipment against theft or damage.
