Accident insurance

Students (properly enrolled) are covered by statutory accident insurance during their education and training at universities. This also applies on the way between home and university.

Therefore, all accidents have to be reported immediately to the Student Office with the signature of the health safety environment or study office/examination office of your faculty.

• The necessary form and general explanations on accident reporting for students can be found here.
• The list of safety officers in the university sector (as of 05/2023) can be found here.

The statutory accident insurance responsible for the University of Rostock is Unfallkasse Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Guest auditor, senior students, participants in vacation courses or participants in courses preparing for university admission are not covered by statutory accident insurance.
