Personal injury insurance

As a student at KTH, you are insured during school hours and direct travel between your home and university premises.

Personal injury insurance for students during your studies

As an enrolled KTH student, you are covered by a personal injury insurance when you are on university premises and journeys to and from the university. The insurance applies to all instances where you (the student) are participating in activities arranged by KTH, for example during a placement (internship) or at a workplace where you are carrying out your degree project, within Sweden's borders. The personal injury insurance does not apply during the orientation and introduction period (during this period, students must arrange their own accident insurance).

Kammarkollegiet's insurance is provided by The Swedish Board of Student Finance (CSN) and covers all students studying at a Swedish university. You as a student are not required to do anything to be covered by this insurance. The personal injury insurance does not apply to PhD students, who are insured through their employment contract.
