The University travel insurance policy is not the same as health insurance.

You may need separate health insurance if:

• your host country requires it
• your visa process requires it
• your partner institution requires it
• you have a pre-existing medical condition
• you need healthcare cover for the full length of your exchange

Check your destination and partner institution requirements carefully before you travel.

Some host universities require students to buy their campus health insurance. This is common at many North American, Australian and Asian partner institutions.

The following partners do not accept the University’s current insurance provider, so you must buy additional insurance. The partner institution will often offer this insurance:

Canada

• University of British Columbia, Vancouver
• Queen’s University
• University of Toronto
• Western University

China

• Renmin University

Japan

• Keio University

New Zealand

• University of Auckland

United States of America

• Purdue University
• University of California San Diego
• University of California Santa Barbara
• University of California Santa Cruz
• University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
• University of Pennsylvania
• University of Virginia

This list may change each year. Check the requirements with your partner institution before you travel.

You can also check the partner webpages for insurance information.

You may be able to use a valid

• European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
• Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)

A valid EHIC, new EHIC or GHIC may provide the cover you need, depending on your destination.
