If you undertake independent travel as part of your studies, please complete the Travel Risk Assessment for Students. This should be approved by your course tutor or programme leader.

As you progress through your course you may be asked to select a work placement. Your Student Placement Coordinator will advise you on this process. Insurance should be provided by your host placement provider. If you select a placement in France or Spain the host provider may ask for a Convention de Stage. Please ask your Student Placement Coordinator for the Northumbria University standard forms and the process you will need to follow.

When you lead your own research you will be asked if you have appropriate insurance. The Ethics Online system has questions you need to respond to and forms you will need to complete. The process will guide you to ascertain high, medium or low risk activity and any special insurance considerations you may need.
