Dear International Students,

Congratulations for you are accepted by Chinese University. According to “Provisions on Higher Education Institutions Requiring Foreign Students to Purchase Insurance” which is published officially since  2008 by the Ministry of Education, PR China, "Insurance is compulsory for you to study in China", please read the following carefully.


Why You Should Buy Insurance

First of all,  "Insurance is compulsory for you to study in China" , said by Ministry of Education,P.R.China.

The following is the Interpretation of the main item of Provision above:

From the academic year 2008 and year 2009 on, all Chinese universities must make the requirements that international students who want to study in China or studying in China must  purchase insurance and it is an essential condition for the official university registration.



Second, without insurance proof, your university will not allow you finish registration.


Third, the insurance covers a wide range. Whether you go to the clinic or the hospital, the insurance can be used, which can help you save a lot of medical expenses.

Let`s take one SICAS student in Changchun city for example.  In this march,  she had to go through a leg procedure due to an accidental fall, and the doctor told her to prepare  prepare 100,000RMB for the Operation. We helped her contacted with the insurance company, and in two working days, the insurance company transfer 54,000RMB to the student`s hospital account immediately. After the operation, it all cost 97,000RMB. The insurance company finally paid her 95329.19RMB . She only paid 1607.81RMB by her self.

See how much money she saved!
