UK International Student Insurance

International Student Health Insurance for Students in the UK. Behind the USA, the UK is one of the leading destinations for all international students to come & study there, not only degree level programs, but also for the secondary school and English as a second language programs. In year of 2006-2007, there were 239,210 international students studying in the UK at undergraduate & graduate programs.

The UK higher education system is now renowned for the academic excellence. Qualifications from the UK universities are internationally recognized by the employers, universities, & governments of UK. Universities in the UK now offer a broad range of courses, and international students who choose to study there are certain to find something to fit their interests in them, no matter what they might be. Both undergraduate and graduate courses in the UK take a shorter time to complete than courses abroad, so students who study there tend to spend less on tuition than students who study elsewhere. Most undergraduate courses take three years to complete, although in Scotland they take four, a Masters course only takes one year, generally, and a PhD takes three or four years.

The UK is extremely culturally diverse. Students who study there can spend their time exploring big cities, rural towns and villages, and both modern and historical architecture.
