每年去英國讀研究生課程的學(xué)生中,都有一小部分學(xué)生在辦理簽證的時候需要做ATAS的申請,否則簽證肯定被拒。那么什么是ATAS呢?
ATAS全稱Academic Technology Approval Scheme
學(xué)術(shù)技術(shù)審核計劃
What is the Academic Technology Approval Scheme?
The Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) was introduced on 1 November 2007. It is used to help stop the spread of knowledge and skills that could be used in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery. This is common with other governments around the world.
The ATAS is designed to ensure that people who are applying to study certain sensitive subjects in the UK do not have links to WMD programmes.
這項審核計劃,主要是英國政府在反恐戰(zhàn)略下,為了確保外國
留學(xué)研究生在英國與大規(guī)模殺傷性武器及與生化,航天航空,農(nóng)業(yè)和工程等小部分敏感性的專業(yè)的知識和技術(shù)的傳播沒有任何關(guān)聯(lián)而制定的一項審查。
Do I Need An ATAS Certificate?
Does your subject JACS Code begin with any of the following:
F2 Materials Science -F2
F3 Physics (including Nuclear Physics) -F3
H3 Mechanical Engineering -H3
H4Aerospace Engineering -H4
J5 Materials Technology not otherwise specified - J5
If, If Yes, You must apply for your ATAS certificate before you apply for a visa or extension of stay.
什么是JACS Code?
JACS Code:
To confirm whether you need an ATAS certificate, you will need the relevant JACS code that applies to your course. Your HEI will either include this on your official offer letter or will be able to confirm it separately. Please do not contact the ATAS Unit to ask which JACS code applies to your course. Only your HEI will be able to tell you this information.
Do not guess at which JACS code is relevant to your studies. If you register with the wrong JACS code it can not be changed. Please ensure you have the right JACS code before you start your application.
哪些專業(yè)需要ATAS認證呢?一般來說,大學(xué)的Offer上都會提醒,主要參考的是申請專業(yè)的JACS Code。Offer 上的專業(yè)一般都有這個代碼。
涉及到相關(guān)專業(yè)的同學(xué),可以留意一下申請的專業(yè)是不是這個代碼
如果Offer上沒有標(biāo)明代碼,可以聯(lián)系學(xué)校獲得。申請的時候代碼千萬不能寫錯。
如果你所申請的專業(yè) 需要提交ATAS申請請一定要在辦理簽證之前在線提交。拿到審核通過的結(jié)果方可辦理簽證。
ATAS的審理周期一般是10個工作日,在此期間,英國政府不接受任何的郵件詢問審理進度。
