Student Health Care

Students at the University of Borås have access to Student Health Care at the University.

The employees at Student Health Care have an understanding of students' lifestyles. We work with preventative health care and individual contact. We also offer support through discussions or certain treatments. The Student Health Care is a compliment to the district health care.

• All visits to the Student HealthCare center is free of charge.
• We work under professional secrecy.
• When you visit the Student Health Care for the first time, you need to bring a valid ID to proof your identity.
