Apply for Travel Insurance

MMU has a policy to provide worldwide travel insurance for members of staff travelling on University business, and for students travelling in connection with their course or on an approved University trip. You must complete the online travel insurance form to register for travel insurance and should do this at least two weeks before your departure date.

Before booking your travel you should read the University's Guidance on International Travel.

Please contact the Insurance Officer if the following applies:

• You are travelling to a high risk destination or a country with sanctions in force. Please check the risk rating of your destination using the WorldAware website (see further information below). The country will not be available to select on the the drop down list on the online form. The risk assessment form for travel to high risk countries will need to be completed for high risk destinations. Guidance and the form are available for staff on the Intranet. Students should ask the member of staff who is approving their trip for assistance with this process.
• You are travelling abroad for a period longer than 365 days
• You are taking business equipment totalling over £2,000
• You will be engaging in aviation as a pilot or crew member of an aircraft or other aerial device

You are reminded that you must visit the Foreign Commonwealth Office website (www.fco.gov.uk) and check your destination prior to booking and again before travel. If travel is advised against then you must seek approval from the Insurance Officer and the trip organiser (for students) or your line manager (for staff) prior to travel.

You must check the risk rating of your destination using the WorldAware website (https://www.worldaware.com/affiliates/marsh). You will need to register using password 7228.

If you have any queries regarding insurance cover on this policy or any other MMU insurance policy please contact Katie Miu, Insurance Officer, at insurance1@mmu.ac.uk or call 0161 247 5992.
