The University has negotiated travel insurance cover for staff and students whilst travelling on business. The cover is provided by UMAL Ltd. The policy provides cover for staff or students travelling on official University business. It will cover reasonable personal time; however, if a period of holiday is linked to the period of business travel then cover should be purchased separately.
Details of the policy can be found at
- All theft / lost property claims must be supported by a local police / security report.
- All property damage claims must be supported by an estimate for repair, detailing the extent of the damage and the cost of the repair. If not repairable then a quotation for replacement must be provided. You may be asked to supply a receipt for the original item.
