Health Insurance

If you are to stay in Denmark (at IPC) for more than 12 weeks you will, provided that your residence permit is in order upon arrival in Denmark, be covered by the Danish Health Insurance Scheme 6 weeks after your arrival and registration at the local municipality. This means you can visit a doctor without paying for it and there will be a reduction in the price for a visit to a dentist (be aware that it is very expensive in Denmark to see a dentist so make sure your teeth are healthy before leaving). You will therefore have to insure yourself for the first six weeks you are in Denmark. The cost of seeing a doctor is 300 DKr if you do not have a health insurance.

If your residence permit is not in order upon arrival in Denmark, you will not be covered by the Danish Health Insurance Scheme and should therefore insure yourself for the full period.
If you are staying for 12 weeks or less you will not be covered by the Danish Health Insurance Scheme at anytime and should therefore insure yourself for the full period.

Theft Insurance

The school’s theft insurance does not cover privately owned articles. You are therefore advised to insure yourself privately. The school takes no responsibility for lost or stolen articles. The School has a safe where you can keep money, flight ticket, passport and other small valuables you might bring with you. So remember to take good care of your valuables.
