According to the UGR International Mobility Regulations, Incoming students are obliged to have health and travel insurance for the duration of their study period (art. 29).

Following recommendations made by the Ombudsman of Andalusia and the Spanish Service for the Internationalization of Education (SEPIE), the University of Granada requires that all students on international mobility programmes (Erasmus, UGR International Mobility Programme, etc) provide proof that they have purchased travel insurance.
