Coverage of Overseas Student Travel Insurance
Overseas Student Travel Insurance is very similar to an Annual Travel Insurance policy and it basically would have the same coverage that an Annual Travel insurance plan would have but with additional coverage that is specific to a student like loss of tuition fees. Another thing about Overseas student travel Insurance is that it has multiple lengths of pan typically counting days adding 30 days at a time. Getting the longer plan from the get-go would save you a lot on premiums compared to getting a shorter-term plan or even a normal travel policy.
The following is the main coverage of an Overseas Student Travel Insurance policy:

Coverage for medical expenses abroad is available, however, each insurer will cover different amounts of expenses depending on the policy you choose.
