You may also have a dedicated Slack channel with your Teaching Team mentor, who will respond to any queries on this channel within 12 hours.

Question 3

How does the accommodation work?

Accepted Answer

The student accommodation is a shared space so all of our students are able to connect with one another. We house 2-10 students per room, and room selection is on a first-come-first-serve basis. This means that students who commit to the program and pay their deposits early have first choice of rooming options. Each city’s accommodation is paired with a coworking space just a short distance away, and is close to shops, transport routes, and amenities. Students will be picked up from the airport on arrival and taken to check into the accommodation the Sunday prior to the program’s start date. Students will depart from the accommodation to the airport the Saturday after the program ends, and transport will also be arranged on this day. Note that early or late arrivals and/or departures will require your own transportation and additional accommodation arrangements.

Do I need medical insurance in order to attend iXperience in Lisbon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, medical insurance is compulsory (see your Student Portal for more details). You can check with your insurance provider to see if you are covered abroad, or if you will need to purchase separate travel insurance. Your international medical insurance must include coverage for COVID-19 testing and quarantine accommodation. We recommend CISI as a travel insurance provider. They are trusted and affordable. Please be sure to upload your details to the student portal. In addition, please bring along any important information you would need in case of emergency, and be sure to inform us of any pre-existing conditions before arrival. Please note that hospitals and medical facilities will expect payment on site. You will then be able to claim back from your health insurance.
