ATAS application forms can be obtained from the ATAS website or by just mailing a request at atas@fco.gov.uk.The majority of ATAS application will be processed within 10 working days from the date that the application is received.

The purpose to introduce ATAS is to 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. 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.

We would like to express that the UK remains open and committed to providing access to high quality education for all nationalities. Hence, the over-riding aim of the scheme is to prevent access to sensitive technology and not to stop genuine students from going to the UK to study.
