Health Care

It is necessary to have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) if applicable.

Otherwise, make sure you have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover the cost of any medical treatment abroad and repatriation.

Note that EHIC doesn’t replace travel insurance, but while you are in a foreign country it guarantees your medical treatment under the same conditions and at the same cost as locals insured in that country.

Free Meals

HUA's student meal card provides you with breakfast and two free meals daily on campus. The link below is not availiable when applications are closed. You will be notified through email when applications are open.

Housing

As Harokopio University does not offer accommodation to International students, you have to look for private housing.

It is highly advisable to do so before your arrival. We can assist you by providing relevant links, such as:
