Health Insurance for Students

Frequently asked Questions

• Why is health insurance important for international students studying abroad?

  Health insurance is important for international students studying abroad because it helps to protect them from unexpected medical expenses. When studying abroad, you may not be familiar with the healthcare system or the costs associated with medical treatment in the host country. In many cases, medical treatment can be very expensive, and without proper insurance coverage, you may be responsible for paying these costs out of pocket. Health insurance can provide you with peace of mind knowing that you are covered in case of illness or injury.

• What are the healthcare options available for international students in different countries?

  The healthcare options available for international students vary depending on the country they are studying in. Some countries, such as Australia, require international students to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the entirety of their stay. In Canada, international students are required to have health insurance for the duration of their studies. In the UK, international students do not require private health insurance for visa applications or enrollment purposes, but they may purchase private insurance coverage if they wish to receive treatment at private clinics or hospitals. In the USA, having adequate health insurance coverage is a requirement set by the university, not by US law.
