  • Typical applicants would hold a minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree or postgraduate qualification in optometry, psychology, orthoptics, medicine, statistics, or another related discipline.

  • Additional medical costs (i.e. dental)
  • Repatriation, if something happens to you or your family
  • Liability
  • Home contents and baggage
  • Accidents
  • Legal aid

We partnered with Aon to provide you with the best affordable student insurance, for a carefree experience away from home.
