Health & Travel Insurance

Make sure you take out appropriate medical insurance to cover any medical expenses that may occur while you are abroad. You should also make sure you take the appropriate medical precautions (e.g. vaccinations etc.) before your departure. Check with your doctor and the consulate of the country where you are going if you are unsure about what you need.

Be sure to take all of your medical insurance documents with you, as most universities/schools abroad will want you to provide evidence that you have adequate medical cover. Please note that certain institutions have their own health insurance plan which exchange students are required to take out.

Apart from the insurance that covers you during your stay, you must take out travel insurance that will cover you until you arrive at the host institution and for any travel/sightseeing you decide to do at the end of your exchange.

"RBS London is a different sort of Business School. Small classes, excellent staff and a truly international atmosphere make for an impressive postgraduate experience. The small groups encourage interactive learning and the chance to build friendly relationships with tutors and other students."
