ATAS
An ATAS certificate is required by the UK government for students who will be commencing on this programme, where the student requires a visa to study in the UK. However, this requirement is waived by the UK government for students who are nationals of EU countries, the European Economic Area (EEA), Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland or the United States. Further guidance on obtaining an ATAS certificate can be found on our International Student Advice pages, where you can also find the contact details for our Student Advice team, where specialist visa advice can be obtained.
If you meet the criteria for requiring an ATAS certificate, and you receive an offer to study on this programme at King's, and you accept the offer, then you should ensure that you apply for the ATAS certificate in good time to ensure that, if you meet all conditions of your offer, we are able to issue your CAS promptly.
