It is essential that you take out adequate insurance when you travel to the UK to study. Navitas offers invaluable cover (Navinsure) for international students studying in the UK.

Please refer to the Insurance Policy Information Document and the Summary of Cover below to ensure that you have the information you require to make an informed decision.

† If a student needs to pause/defer their studies after their coverage has commenced, their insurance coverage can be paused. The insurance can then be switched on again once the student recommences their studies but it must be activated no more than 12 months after pausing it. Whilst the insurance is paused, cancellation terms continue to apply.
