It is mandatory for non-local students to have suitable and adequate insurance covering travel, personal accident, medical expenses (accident and non-accident), hospitalization and emergency evacuation/repatriation throughout the entire period of their studies in Hong Kong. Students are required to either purchase the insurance on their own before they leave their home city or, if they are unable to do so or wish to have additional insurance coverage, enrol in the Group Personal Accident and Medical Benefits Insurance Plan for Non-local Students* contracted by the University.

The premium for the 2008-09 "Group Personal Accident and Medical Benefits Insurance Plan for Non-local Students " can be found here for your reference. The insurance plan is HK$431 per student (HK$279 per student as pro-rata premium for students enrolling on or after 1 January 2009). more info...

* Note that the insurance plan and premium are subject to annual change without prior notice.
