This insurance should cover medical expenses and possible repatriation if necessary.

Liability and Accident Insurance

Erasmus students implementing a mobility for traineeship must also have an accident and liability insurance.

Student Life and Accommodation

Incoming Erasmus students can find useful information on life in Cyprus and finding accommodation in the CyI International Students Guide.
