Health insurance
Once enrolled to AgroParisTech, you will have to register to the French health insurance by visiting this website : https://etudiant-etranger.ameli.fr/# (available in English)
To complete your registration, you will need your birth certificate (if possible, in French). Don’t forget to obtain this document before leaving your country.
For European Economic Area and Switzerland nationals, there is an European health insurance card or S1.
Complementary health insurance ("mutuelle")
Social security allows international students to benefit from social security coverage during their studies in France. To increase the amount of health expenses reimbursed, you can subscribe to a complementary health insurance (also called "mutuelle"). This is not compulsory but strongly recommended.
You can ask for a quote from student mutuals, insurance companies or banks.
CPAM proposes Complémentaire santé solidaire but a number of criteria must be met to be eligible.
