Insurance Coverage
Activities that are organised by the Summer Institute in the Arts and Humanities are all under insurance coverage.
Many insurance policies are strictly on a reimbursement basis. Non-local students, even with insurance coverage, may have to settle the medical bill first before you can claim reimbursement. It is important for you to check carefully with your insurance company on the extent of coverage and claim procedures, and set aside a sum of money for contingencies.
​
If you are a non-local student and have to travel to Hong Kong, you should make sure that your existing insurance policy covers your destination. Otherwise, you are advised to buy additional travel insurance before your trip.
​
Please check with your insurance agent and ensure that the scheme covers travel / flight delays, theft of personal belongings and medical and health cover for an injury or sudden illness abroad for the programme period.

Group Personal Accident (GPA) Insurance (for students admitted to undergraduate courses)
​
The University has arranged a group personal accident policy to provide medical benefits only to its registered students for injury or sickness occurred during University business within or outside Hong Kong such as field trips or project work. You should note that the University would only provide standard travel insurance coverage, and would not insure any personal cash or property of students in any circumstances. If additional or special insurance coverage is required, it is entirely up to the student concerned to make personal arrangement at your own expense.
