Insurance

Personal injury Insurance

Any injury sustained in the course of university life is covered. This includes any activity carried out as part of the curriculum, both during and outside of class hours, including days off and holidays, whether in Belgium or abroad.

Activities undertaken solely on the students' own initiative are not taken into account.

In the event of illness, coverage is provided by the health insurance plan, not the "personal accident" coverage.

What should you do if you're involved in an accident resulting in injury?

Please return the claim form within 8 days, along with a medical certificate describing your injuries:

• "Personal injury" for accidents occurring during university activities and while commuting to and from campus
• "Work-related accident" for accidents occurring during internships
• "Work-related accident" for accidents occurring on the way to the internships

The procedure for reimbursement of expenses incurred as a result of the accident is as follows:

• pay the bills,
• First, apply for reimbursement from the health insurance provider
• Send the receipt from your health insurance provider to Ethias (the insurance coverage takes effect in addition to the reimbursements from your health insurance provider).

Stay abroad?

If you wish to complete an internship, fieldwork, or thesis abroad, you must submit a request for authorization to stay abroad via MODUS. This procedure is mandatory and has been established to formalize your trip and ensure you are covered by ULiège’s insurance. 

PROCEDURE FOR APPLYING FOR a stay outside Belgium

Students can purchase "Ethias Assistance Privilège" insurance through the legal services office (covering repatriation, medical care, hospitalization costs, etc.). The cost, which is the student's responsibility, varies depending on the location and duration of the stay.
