Social security for students :
Health insurance is compulsory. If you are not covered by your parents’ insurance, you must contact a student health insurance company which will act as a social security fund to reimburse your medical expenses.
You can choose between two bodies:
The MEP (Mutuelle des Étudiants de Provence)
LMDE (Mutuelle des Étudiants )
They will cover you throughout your university studies.
For further information, and in particular to establish the length of cover following the completion of university studies, consult the dedicated pages on the servicepublic.fr. website
