Applying for an ATAS certificate
Students wishing to study certain undergraduate courses at 天堂视频 may require an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate
What is ATAS?
The Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) applies to all international students (apart from exempt nationalities) who are subject to UK immigration control and are intending to study at postgraduate level or an undergraduate course with an integrated masters year in certain sensitive subjects. The subjects are those where students’ knowledge could be used in programmes to develop Advanced Conventional Military Technology (ACMT), weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) or their means of delivery. These students must apply for an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate before they can study in the UK.
