We welcome applications from talented individuals of all backgrounds and each application is considered on its individual merit. Usually applicants must hold: A UK lower second-class (2:2) undergraduate degree with honours, as a minimum, or equivalent international qualification. Ideally applicants will have studied in science, engineering or mathematics subjects. Find information about equivalent qualifications in your country on our International entry requirements page. If you do not meet the above entry requirements but still feel you can demonstrate the ability to complete the course successfully, you may still be accepted onto a course with a lower qualification and relevant experience. Ideally your experience will be in a related role. Exceptional applicants may be accepted on experience alone.

ATAS is run by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and applies to international students, except exempt nationalities, who need a visa to study in the UK.
