After I read it second time, I am not quite sure if it is the travel insurance only (as stated in Insured person section). I am not sure if it is effective 3 months before my departure and 3 months upon my finish of the programme. I will call local ACE and check this later.
edit:
I found out more about this in EUROPA website.
- ...it is not a comprehensive travel insurance. If students wish to be covered for eventualities such as the loss or theft of money, personal belongings and items of value, or for the unexpected costs caused by travel delays, they are advised to take out additional cover with a private insurer....
- "you are covered when you travel to the Master Course from your home country, when you attend conferences, research trips or cultural sessions abroad ... also covered during short trips back to your home country."
- "You are covered from the point at which you leave your normal place of residence to go abroad to begin your Course. This may be up to two months before the beginning of your Masters Course. The policy is valid while you are abroad for up to three months after the official end of the Masters Course, until you return home. The medical coverage will then continue for a maximum of 30 days on your return."
