All the international students are required to have their Mutual Health Aid Association Fee which will show up on the tuition invoice that covers their whole stay in Korea prior to beginning their studies at KU. The students must submit the copy of the insurance to the Office of International Affairs.

Foreign Degree Seeking Students

• Insurance can be purchased through Korea University for those who do not have insurance
• Insurance policy needs to be extended every year

According to the policy of the Korean government, health insurance is mandatory for all international students. Therefore all international students are required to pay 의료공제비 (the Mutual Health Aid Association Fee) every semester.
Mutual Health Aid Association Fee is beneficial to Int'l Students in time of sickness by providing discounts for using Korea University Medical Center. This is the very minimum coverage and if you wish to purchase private insurance for better coverage, please contact Office of Int'l Affairs. (Or you can simply purchase private insurance on your own)
