Medical insurance
According to the Ministry of Education’s guidelines, all foreign students must have medical insurance. Medical insurance is a necessary condition to be enrolled in school and to receive a visa. In the case a student has no insurance, they may receive disadvantages when it comes to visa issuance, registration, issuance of certificates, etc. Int’l students of Hongik University can easily register for medical insurance through a group insurance coordinated by the school.
