Health Insurance

The University of Sheffield doesn't have a mandatory health policy.

Students coming for courses of six months or more are eligible for treatment under the National Health Service. Medical insurance is not necessary therefore.

If you are here for less than six months, you may not be entitled to free NHS treatment and should arrange medical insurance before you arrive. See our web pages for more information

You can find lots of information on the following links.
