Insurance

For any IAESTE internship you must have a personal liability insurance for the whole length of your internship. Personal liability insurance should also cover any accidents or personal belongings. Building insurance will be covered by the landlord/homeowner.

If your internship in the UK lasts more than 6 months, you’ll need to pay £1,035 Immigration Health Surcharge when applying for your visa. This cost is covered by the IAESTE programme and will be refunded to you in full!

CareMed

IAESTE UK recommends CareMed travel insurance. All insurance plans are flexible and have unlimited medical coverage. Their outstanding service is adapted to the needs of international students and internship participants through their multi-lingual website, insurance documents as well as a 24-hour helpline.
