Medical and insurance

The University provides a Group Personal Accident Insurance Policy for all registered non-local students, covering bodily injuries resulting from accidents during university-endorsed activities (on/off-campus, locally or abroad), subject to specific terms.

For comprehensive medical insurance beyond this policy, you will need to arrange your own coverage. When selecting an insurance plan, ensure the provider is credible and offers adequate protection. Always review policy terms carefully to understand coverage limits and exclusions.
