As of January 1, 2025, the cost of health insurance in Germany has increased. This is due to an increase in the Zusatzbeitrag - the additional premium paid by the insured. The increase for students with public insurance means an increase in costs of 5-10 euros per month.
For students studying in Germany, health insurance is mandatory:
💊Public health insurance: For undergraduate and graduate students under 30 years of age.
💊Private health insurance: For language students, Stüdienkolleg, PhD candidates, postdocs and those who refuse public insurance.
