Advice for international engineering students

International students applying for the following engineering degrees also need to apply for an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate.

• Aerospace Engineering MEng

Students who are nationals of an EU or EEA country or Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, or the USA do not need an ATAS certificate regardless of their course.

Please make sure you read the UK government’s advice on ATAS before making an application to us.
