ICS Start is an insurance package for international students. This excellent package covers your travel and stay. You need ICS Start when you already have your own health insurance.
You only pay for the period of insurance. Not a day more. So what happens when you stop studying earlier than expected? Or end your work placement a bit sooner? Then the money you have paid for the time that you will not be studying is refunded to your bank account.
You need ICS Start when:
Imagine that something serious happens to one of your parents when you are abroad. You need to go back home. In that case, ICS Start covers extra costs such as the price of your airline ticket.
Say you get seriously ill in the country where you study or go for work experience. In that case, your family members may want to come to you. ICS Start refunds the costs of their airline ticket.
