Insurance

Insurance cover for your belongings should be arranged if you are staying in the UK for some time. A 12 month policy, designed for students, and covering your personal possessions, money and documents, as well as medical expenses and personal liability, will cost around £150, but other types of cover are available for less.

Several companies arrange special schemes for students. One company, Endsleigh Insurance, in association with UKCISA (The Council for International Student Affairs), has developed a policy particularly for overseas students studying in the UK.
For further details online please see Endsleigh Insurance.

Barclays bank also offer low cost insurance: see Barclays Students Possessions Insurance

Please do not forget that if you are an overseas student travelling abroad you will need to buy travel and health insurance.  Sta Travel offers discounted travel insurance for students and is based in the Quad of the East Building on the LSE campus.
