For international applicants, in addition to applying to Cranfield, you need to ensure that you have the right to study in the UK.
If you do not already have a visa that allows you to be in the UK for the duration of your course, you will need to apply for a student visa to study in the UK. Current immigration rules set by the UK Government are on the UK Home Office website.

If you do not already have a visa that allows you to be in the UK for the duration of your course, you will need to apply for a student visa to study in the UK. Current immigration rules set by the UK Government are on the UK Home Office website.
You may need to apply in two stages:
1.
Apply for Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) if applicable
Courses that require an ATAS certificate are marked on relevant course pages on our website. European Economic Area, Swiss, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea nationals do not require an ATAS certificate. Please see our website for more information.
You need to obtain your ATAS certificate before you apply for a visa. ATAS certificates are processed and issued by the UK Government, it is free to apply and can be completed online. We suggest that you check the current processing times on the ATAS website.
If you transfer to us from a different university or change course while you are here, you may need to make a further ATAS certificate application before you start your course. Click here for more information.
2.
Apply for a visa
The UK visa application process is under constant review so it is important that you keep up-to-date with developments on how to apply for a visa to study in the UK. Any visa application must be accompanied by a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number or a support letter from Cranfield University.
