FSHS

The purpose of the FSHS is to provide student health services, as stipulated in the Health Care Act, for those studying for a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree at a university or other institution of higher education.

Student healthcare services include the following:

  • checks on health and safety aspects of the study environment in educational institutions and welfare promotion among learning communities, together with monitoring
  • monitoring and promotion of students’ health and welfare and fitness to study
  • health checks according to individual needs
  • provision of health and medical care services
  • mental health and substance abuse services
  • promotion of sexual health
  • oral health care
  • early identification of any special needs and tests required by students, support, and, if necessary, referral for further tests or treatment

FSHS activities are funded by state funding (77% of funding) and by healthcare fees paid by students (23% of funding). The FSHS has no funds of its own other than the capital on formation, which only amounts to a little over €3,000.
