Insurance and contributions

The PhD student at the doctoral school (doctoral scholarship) is subject to compulsory social insurance in the field of retirement and disability pension contributions as well as accident insurance.

PhD students are subject to compulsory health insurance if they are not covered by other insurance from another title. If they have the status of an insured person's family member, they are not subject to this insurance due to being a PhD student.

Third party and accident insurance is voluntary and is paid by PhD student individually. For foreigners, our insurance companies (cooperating with Gdańsk Tech) do not have third party and accident insurance specially dedicated offer. There is possibility to buy insurance from an insurer broker (private insurance).
