Bupa has launched cover focusing on mental health and welfare for students.
The Bupa Student Health Expenses aims to help students stay healthy and manage health expenses.

Tony Wood, sales and marketing director at Bupa Health and Wellbeing, said: "We know that money is tight for many students, and parents worry about their child's welfare when they first leave home for university.
"This cover is designed to give parents peace of mind and to help students stay well without having to worry about health expenses."
