HEALTH  INSURANCE,  LOSS OF PROPERTY

Please make sure that you are completely covered by your current medical insurance policy or that you have purchased a travellers´ policy which is explicitly valid in the Czech Republic.
The University can assume no responsibility for any fees or medical charges you incur before, during or after the course. It is also advisable to be insured against loss of property during your stay.
We highly recommend to insure your car, unfortunately car losses (especially of well known types) are very frequent. There is no possibility to use a garage in front of the dormitories.
