Choosing to study abroad comes with many bureaucratic challenges. Expatrio assists students with opening a blocked and current bank account as well as gaining Travel and Health Insurance. This can be stressful but thanks to this partnership, BSBI students are able to gain free pre-enrolment advice whilst still in their home country. Additionally, they have access to a range of affordable packages that assist students with the administrative aspects of studying abroad including mandatory Health Insurance with public provider "Techniker Krankenkasse”. Expatrio is adding a free insurance package (worth €117) covering private liability and your valuable items like mobile phone, laptop and luggage. Also, if you still need a current bank account, this can be done simultaneously in the same application. Last but not least, Expatrio's partner DeGiS - Deutsche Gesellschaft internationaler Studierender (Germany's largest association for international students) is offering one of you a scholarship for mentoring including financial support of €1.200 in total.
