Accident report

Students are covered by statutory accident insurance through the Accident Insurance Institution Baden-Württemberg (Unfallkasse Baden-Württemberg) for all study-related activities.

As a student at the University of Stuttgart, you are automatically covered by the Accident Insurance Institution Baden-Württemberg (UKBW). Accident insurance coverage applies to all study-related activities that fall within the university’s organizational responsibility, including, for example, travel to and from lectures.

For detailed information on what the insurance covers and the types of cases included, please consult the Accident Insurance Institution of Baden-Württemberg (UKBW) [de] directly.

If you have had an accident in connection with your studies, please report it within three days:

  • either via your institute, faculty, or department (e.g. university sports) where the accident occurred, or
  • via Division 3 - Students' Affairs. Please do this using the contact form.
