Health Insurance 5.1 Health insurance for foreign students Foreign students must be insured for the whole time of their stay at UJEP. Their insurance documents should be submitted to the faculty co-ordinator or the student co-ordinator before matriculation into the STAG system, otherwise they will not be accepted on the courses. The conditions differ for EU and non-eu students. If you come from an EU country, a standard EU insurance card will suffice for these purposes. With this card, you will need to register with the Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna ČR insurance company (Bratislavská 8, Ústí nad Labem) immediately after your arrival in the Czech Republic. Unless you do so, you will have to pay for treatment and then ask your insurance company to pay the bill (like students with private insurance). The treatment will be given after the insurance card is shown. If you come from a non-eu country, you will need travel insurance valid for the whole time of your stay. You will be treated following the presentation of your valid insurance documents. If you intend to do any dangerous sports in the Czech Republic (among which skiing is included) you will need special high-risk health insurance. If you come from a non-eu country you may choose from the following two kinds of health insurance. However, in both cases you will still need to be insured with the Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna ČR. 6

7 a) Short-term insurance covering necessary and urgent treatment This insurance can be taken out for the period of 1-24 months. The insurance covers diagnosis and examinations essential for determination of medical treatment, hospitalization, essential surgery and urgent dental treatment. This insurance is not limited by age. b) Long-term covering overall treatment This insurance is similar to the general public health insurance. It also covers prescribed medicine and medical procedures, preventative treatment, physiotherapy, inoculations and so on. The insurance is taken out for a period of 6 24 months and is available to people at up to 70 years of age. Before its conclusion the applicant must undertake a general health examination by a physician listed by the insurance company. The cost of the insurance depends on the age of the applicant. Further information will be provided by Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna ČR at: 6. Financial support for students UJEP provides these kind of stipends: a) merit scholarship b) exceptional c) doctoral d) accommodation (can be also given to foreign students within the Erasmus programme) e) social f) travel expenses of academic staff within the programmes of European co-operation in the area of university education These stipends are granted according to the Stipendiary Rules. Up-to-date information about the social and accommodation stipends can be found at Up-to-date information about other stipendiary options are available on the university website. In 2007, for example, there was: Stipend from the Glaverbel Czech Managing Director for the best diploma or Bachelor s dissertation at the University of J. E. Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem in 2007 Stipend for the best UJEP students of 2007 Stipend from the Ústí nad Labem Region (more at Further information can be found on the university web-site and the web-sites of the individual faculties. The up-to-date version of the Stipendiary Rules is posted at in the section Podle činností Studium Vnitřní předpisy a normy Foreign students from developing countries can also apply for stipends; applications should be handed in at the appropriate diplomatic office (usually in the applicant s country) within the required time. Applicants that are staying in the Czech Republic at the time of application should submit the required documents to the Czech Republic Foreign Office, department of developing co-operation. Foreigners with a permanent stay visa cannot apply for government stipends. 7

8 Another kind of stipend provided by the government of the Czech Republic is based on bilateral international agreements in government and resort categories which have been negotiated with many EU and other European and non-european countries. Stipends of this kind are intended for students or university graduates and doctorate holders (exceptionally also research and pedagogical university staff) who wish to undertake studies or carry out a research stay at a Czech public university. The length of stay usually ranges from two to ten months depending on the agreement between the Czech government and the government of the country concerned, which also specifies categories of possible recipients of a stipend.
