Insurance

 

Medical and travel insurance are compulsory for international students studying in New Zealand.

Insurance is included in SIT’s International Fees. We automatically organise insurance for mainstream students through the resource fee, so that is one less thing to worry about. Insurance for English will be arranged at $15.00 per week.
