Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS)
From 21 May 2021 individuals undertaking an element of research at PhD in certain sensitive subjects must obtain an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) prior to commencing their visit.
Failure to obtain a required ATAS certificate (when required) will prevent the visit from commencing. Applying in good time and before travelling to the UK is strongly recommended.
Please find further details on the Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) page.
