lost fees if you are unable to complete your course
costs of returning home if a relative is ill
costs of a relative visiting you in the UK if you fall ill
cost of returning to your home country for treatment
or in the worst possible situation, returning a body home for burial.Even if you are entitled to free NHS treatment whilst in the UK, you should consider taking out insurance which covers the above additional costs.
