Injury, risk of injury or incident
If something happens – tell us! If you are injured during your studies, experience something that almost went bad, or see a risk – report it! This helps the university to make the study environment safer for everyone.
The Faculty of Medicine works to prevent accidents and health illness among students. Therefore, it is important that you tell if something happened, even if it feels small.
Get help and report incidents
To talk to someone about risks, injuries or other incidents, first contact the course coordinator, study counsellor, student safety representative or student union.
Report what has happened in the university's IA system with your regular student login. If you are unsure how to do this, please use the contact information on this web page.

Personal injury insurance
If you have suffered a personal injury through an accident or travel accident in connection with your studies, you may be entitled to compensation through the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency's personal injury insurance.
