Before arriving in Spain, it is mandatory for students from the European Union to process their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

It is also recommended that you take out complementary insurance for other eventualities: accident, travel or repatriation insurance, among others.

Non-EU students must contract an insurance before leaving their country. In most cases, they must present the insurance contracted to process the visa.

Students on the Pre-Established Programme can use the UAB accommodation service offered by Vila Universitària for different accommodation options in the city.
