ATAS 适用对象:EEA 和瑞士之外的国际学生并且入读英国研究生敏感类专业的学生
who are applying to study for a postgraduate qualification in certain sensitive subjects, knowledge of which could be used in programmes to develop weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) or their means of delivery, to apply for an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate before they can study in the UK. European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland
EEA 和瑞士之外的国际学生(无论申请时身处何处)如去英国就读敏感类的研究生专业,则需要做ATAS 证书认证!敏感类专业:专业授课内容涉及到大规模杀伤性武器的制造或者运输方式。
哪些专业需要做ATAS:
ATAS 认证只针对研究生主课,不涉及主课之前的语言课程!可在下面链接查询课程 JACS Code ,判断是否需要做ATAS 认证另外学校发offer 的时候也会标明该专业是否要求做ATAS 证书认证
https://www.academic-technology-approval.service.gov.uk/
查询的时候只要输入 JACS Code 的前两个字符即可:
ATAS 证书有效期:6 个月
递交签证申请之前必须先拿到 ATAS 证书。
签证最早可以在开课之前 3 个月递交申请,因此ATAS 认证最早可以在开课之前9 个月递交申请。建议在递交主课签证之前2-3 个月提交ATAS 申请。
ATAS 审理时间:
官方说法是递交完整的申请后20 个工作日出结果。高峰期审理时间会更长。但是不保证能按时拿到证书。所以建议提前申请(拿到学校的有条件offer,且愿意去该学校,就可以开始着手申请ATAS 了)!
如果超过四周后,没有任何消息,可以 email 至ATAS@fco.gov.uk 询问审理进度。
ATAS 证书结果查询方式:
没有快捷的在线查询方式,申请结果/证书会email 到注册的邮箱。请及时查询邮件,是否需要补充材料,是否通过认证!
另外还有垃圾箱和订阅邮件也要查询,避免遗漏!一个 ATAS 证书只对应一个学校的一个专业。不同学校的不同专业需要申请不同的ATAS 证书。但最终只能有一个用于递交签证申请!ATAS 证书没有通过的话,签证会被拒。
