Health and insurance
Students registered for a semester or year at a Scottish university are entitled to treatment on the UK's National Health Service (NHS). You will register with the local health centre during the matriculation (registration) process which then entitles you to free health care (apart from dentistry work). However, we do recommend that you keep any current health and travel insurance policies running for the duration of your studies in St Andrews.
