Comprehensive Coverage for Your Summer School Journey

Medical and Travel Insurance Coverage

• Q: Will I be covered by medical/travel insurance?
• A: Yes, all our students studying in the UK during their Oxford Summer Courses summer school are covered under a travel insurance policy included in your course fee. This insurance ensures that if anything unexpected happens and reasonably prevents you from attending your summer school course, you will be able to make a cancellation claim. You can contact us via email for a claim form. However, please note that if you are requesting a refund based on a visa refusal for your Oxford Summer Courses summer school, you will not be able to make an insurance claim, and our cancellation policy will apply as per our Terms and Conditions.
