University-managed accommodation provides insurance cover through Cover4Students
Your accommodation charges include personal possessions insurance, which means your belongings are insured while they are in your accommodation for the duration of your contract with the University. Cover is provided by Cover4Students, which is a trading style of UK & Ireland Insurance Services.
If you live alone, your items will be insured for up to a maximum of £7,500 per claim. If you live with a partner and/or children, cover is increased to £10,000 in total.
