ATAS 適用對象:EEA 和瑞士之外的國際學生并且入讀英國研究生敏感類專業的學生
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 和瑞士之外的國際學生(無論申請時身處何處)如去英國就讀敏感類的研究生專業,則需要做ATAS 證書認證!敏感類專業:專業授課內容涉及到大規模殺傷性武器的制造或者運輸方式。
哪些專業需要做ATAS:
ATAS 認證只針對研究生主課,不涉及主課之前的語言課程!可在下面鏈接查詢課程 JACS Code ,判斷是否需要做ATAS 認證另外學校發offer 的時候也會標明該專業是否要求做ATAS 證書認證
https://www.academic-technology-approval.service.gov.uk/
查詢的時候只要輸入 JACS Code 的前兩個字符即可:
ATAS 證書有效期:6 個月
遞交簽證申請之前必須先拿到 ATAS 證書。
簽證最早可以在開課之前 3 個月遞交申請,因此ATAS 認證最早可以在開課之前9 個月遞交申請。建議在遞交主課簽證之前2-3 個月提交ATAS 申請。
ATAS 審理時間:
官方說法是遞交完整的申請后20 個工作日出結果。高峰期審理時間會更長。但是不保證能按時拿到證書。所以建議提前申請(拿到學校的有條件offer,且愿意去該學校,就可以開始著手申請ATAS 了)!
如果超過四周后,沒有任何消息,可以 email 至ATAS@fco.gov.uk 詢問審理進度。
ATAS 證書結果查詢方式:
沒有快捷的在線查詢方式,申請結果/證書會email 到注冊的郵箱。請及時查詢郵件,是否需要補充材料,是否通過認證!
另外還有垃圾箱和訂閱郵件也要查詢,避免遺漏!一個 ATAS 證書只對應一個學校的一個專業。不同學校的不同專業需要申請不同的ATAS 證書。但最終只能有一個用于遞交簽證申請!ATAS 證書沒有通過的話,簽證會被拒。
