Students who study abroad are particularly vulnerable because under normal circumstances, they do not have easy access to funding when in a foreign country; and worse, they do not have the support system that a family or friend can provide in their own countries. With more educational opportunities being offered to people in all parts of the world, it is not unthinkable that the frequency of accidents and sickness would increase in proportion to the number of students .
The student travel insurance policy from Globelink International Ltd. is aimed at students on a tight budget but looking for comprehensive insurance without the frills. The Standard Globetrekkers policy gives you the essential cover and the Globetrekkers Standard Plus gives you the added bonus of Baggage cover, money etc. Durations of up to 15 months are available and these can usually be extended, up to a maximum of 18 months. Choose from either Worldwide travel or Europe, Australia & New Zealand only.
Student Travel Insurance is available to people who are living in UK or other EU Countries.

Student travel insurance has many types of coverage, the most popular of which are those that include payment of medical expenses from hospitalization and accidental death. Other non-life threatening coverage can also prove useful especially when the incident happens while en route to a particular country. This includes payment for a return trip and legal assistance, to name a few. In any case, an insurance coverage helps pay for any loss incurred if and when any untoward event occurs. A travel safety net ensures that rebuilding one's life after a fall wouldn't be a painful struggle.
