In this workshop, you’ll get a clear, independent overview of how insurance works in Germany, without sales pressure or marketing hype. We’ll look at the interaction between statutory social insurance and private policies, so you can make informed decisions instead of paying for unnecessary coverage.
You’ll learn:
- How the German social security system works
- What protection you already have as a student through statutory insurance schemes
- Which additional private insurances can make sense for students and graduates - and which are often unnecessary
- What’s legally required in Germany, and what’s purely optional
- Common mistakes students make when choosing insurance
- What to watch out for when signing a contract
Whether you're just starting university or about to enter the job market, this session will help you understand your coverage within the German system and protect yourself wisely, without wasting money on insurance you don’t actually need.
