ATAS (Academic Technology Approval Scheme)是来自非欧洲经济区(non-EEA)的留学生在报读某些学科课程的研究生时，必须通过的一道附加的审查。这项名为 ATAS (Academic Technology Approval Scheme)的审查由英国外交部进行，申请人在得到大学入学通知书后，可通过英国外交部网站的网上申请表格递交申请。申请过程免费，时间为至少20个工作日。除了个人资料和课程代码外，申请人必须提交配偶、学历、雇主等资料。ATAS 是英国反恐战略下加强对外国留学生审查的步骤之一，所涉及的课程都属于理工生物等学科。

需要完成10个部分ATAS applications with incorrect information will cause delays to processing your application
proposed course of study/area of research: the university or research institute you are proposing to study/research at will provide you with the relevant details for this section e.g. in your conditional offer letter or statement of research. They will advise you of the appropriate CAH3 code and give you the correct form of words for the ‘What Will you be Studying/Research Statement’ box. You should use the university’s description here. You will be able to add to this description in the next box: ‘Personnel Statement of Intent’. Add your Head of Department if you are still waiting for a research/study supervisor allocation
personal details: details from this section will be included in your ATAS certificate. Complete this carefully and in full, and review it before submitting. If you have served in the armed forces or trained in Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN), you should provide details including courses undertaken, relevant roles and, if applicable, years of service. If you have undertaken government funded research, include the funding agency and details of the project. Typos and transposed numbers are regular mistakes in this area and if the details provided do not match the details in your passport exactly, it may affect or delay your visa application
spouse: tell us if you are married and planning to bring your spouse into the UK. If your spouse chooses to study or research an ATAS relevant subject while in the UK accompanying you, they will need to apply separately for their own ATAS certificate
contact details: make sure your contact details are accurate. The ATAS certificate will be sent to the preferred email address you enter in this section
undergraduate/ postgraduate studies: provide as much detail as possible on all previous undergraduate and postgraduate studies you have undertaken
other studies: tell us if you have undertaken any other studies you think may be relevant to your application
published papers: tell us if you have had any academic or professional papers published, either on your own, or with co-publishers
employment history: tell us, with as much detail as possible, of any jobs you have held. You should include jobs that relate to your proposed course of study or research area
referees: provide details of 2 referees who have known you for a minimum of 3 years. At least one of the referees must be from the academic sector. If you have work experience, you should include a referee from your employment. A referee from your home country would be preferable, but it is not essential if you have studied and/or worked in another country. Family members are not accepted as referees
financial sponsors: provide details of sponsors you have for the funding of your proposed studies. If you are waiting for a funding decision, include this and note the decision is pending. If you are funding your own studies or research, include your name and address in the relevant boxes. If another family member is paying for your studies, include their details
