The UK is one of the most popular destinations for international studies.  In fact, studying in the UK is the number two choice for international students in the world, second only to the USA.  The UK offers international students an excellent higher education system and with hundreds of universities to choose from – it’s easy to see why it’s such a popular destination. For more demographic and statistical information about international students in the UK, visit the UK Council for International Student Affairs or you can view our UK International Student Insurance pages for more in depth information on why the UK is so great!

Before you leave your home country/country of citizenship you should consider purchasing health insurance coverage for international students that will work for you in the UK.

The Atlas Travel Series is a great choice for health insurance for international students in the UK.  The plan provides comprehensive coverage for doctor office visits, prescription drugs, hospitalizations, diagnostic testing, x-rays, laboratory work, emergency medical evacuation, repatriation, etc.  To be eligible for this plan, you do not have to be a student but you must be outside of your home country.

International students needing health insurance in the UK will find applying for the plan simple and easy – you can purchase the plan right online and get immediate coverage.  After you purchase the plan, you can receive all of your insurance documents immediately via e-mail. This e-mail will include your visa letter, receipt, insurance card and policy details.

Hi. My nephew from Romania is going to study at Brunel University in London from September 2016 for 3 years. I am looking to buy some insurance for him. Please send me a quote or application form and advise me what is best to do. If Romania is in EU, does it make any difference? Is best to buy insurance from England or Romania? What does he need to be covered for?
Regards,
Lumi

My son is now studying in Central London. He is paying the NHS already. Will he fully covered? Will he still need a personal medical insurancw? Could you send me the information if needed? Thanks!

Hi Carol,

The NHS is a free system, but primarily designed to cover UK Citizens. As a visitor to the UK, you would not be covered under the NHS, so you would need to purchase health/travel insurance coverage. If you are studying under a long term visa, typically you will have some coverage under the NHS, but you should check into that with your school first. You should also consider that travel insurance will offer added benefits such as the ability to see a private specialized, emergency reunion, evacuation and repatriation coverage – benefits the NHS does not provide.

I hope that helps
Ross

Hello,

My husband is considering applying for a post-graduate program in the UK. We would come as a family (husband, two young daughters and me) from the US. What kind of insurance would we qualify for and what would be the approximate cost?

Thank you!
