About ISIC – International Student Identity Card
The ISIC card was launched back in 1953 by students for students, with a shared vision: ‘Making student life better’.
In 1968, the ISIC card was officially recognised by UNESCO as an international student identity card. Even back then, a key objective was to promote international exchange and contribute to understanding between different cultures. Consequently, the main focus was on offering students access to exclusive travel discounts and enabling them to discover new countries, languages and cultures at affordable rates.
Even today, flights, hotels and all travel-related discounts remain a central aspect of the ISIC. Over the years, numerous offers from other categories have been added, making the ISIC card an indispensable companion in student life: language courses, transport providers, concert tickets, software, clothing, sports and leisure activities, and cultural venues. Benefit every day from exclusive ISIC benefits on many well-known brands.
The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is available to students, trainees and school pupils and is valid for one year from the date of issue. Young travellers without student status can also enjoy many offers for one year up to the age of 30 with the International Youth Travel Card (IYTC), and teachers with the International Teacher Identity Card (ITIC).
