Information on ATAS
Applicants requiring a Tier-4 visa may need to apply for an ATAS clearance as part of their admission. If this is the case, ATAS will added as a condition of your entry.
You can apply for ATAS at; https://www.gov.uk/academic-technology-approval-scheme
ATAS are only valid for 6 months, so you should apply for ATAS within 6 months of the start date of your course. You should apply as early as possible and leave at least 4 weeks for your ATAS application to be processed. Please note that undergraduate applicants have a specified ATAS deadline (see undergraduate information above).

Information on CAS for Tier-4 Visa
Non-UK/EU/EEA Nationals usually require visas to study in the UK (depending on an individual's immigration status). If you require a visa to study in the UK and are studying a course of 6+ months duration, you will need to apply for a Tier-4 general visa. Information can be found at; https://www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa
In order to apply for a visa, you will require a CAS number to be issued by the College. CAS are only valid for 6 months, so we issue these from April onwards for October start programmes. Your CAS details will be displayed on your student e-service account. We do not issue CAS statements or unconditional offer letters for visa purposes. Your CAS reference number confirms your unconditional status. You should apply for your visa within 3 months of the proposed start date of your course.
