Healthcare for Overseas Student

Students coming to Britain on a course that will run for more than six months are entitled to free treatment within the National Health Service from the time they arrive in Britain.  The entitlement also applies to dependents.  As with UK citizens, a charge is made for prescriptions for medicines, glasses and dental care.
