Student health insurance UK - England
Student Health and Medical Insurance UK
All foreign students who are living temporarily in the UK for more than six months, are entitled to free medical treatment under the National Health Service (NHS). The effect of the NHS starts from the day the students is registered in the university or college school.
However, it is strongly advised to the students to take out a own student health insurance.
Concerning the NHS
Overseas students who stay for more than six months are considered as UK citizens and may register for NHS like the explanation here up.
Overseas students who stay in the UK for less than six months may also apply for NHS care, but it is not possible everywhere. Please check with the surgery or medical centre you choose to register with.
If you do not, or are not able to register for NHS care, you are advised to take out student health insurance to cover the cost of private medical care.
The SWISSCARE international student insurance plan for the UK is very appropriate in order to cover your medical costs during your studies from the first Euro / Pound.
