Hello,

You should allow at least four weeks (20 working days) for the application process. Processing times will increase between the months of April and September and can take 30 or more working days to complete.
To ensure fairness and consistency, there is no ‘fast track’ service, and the University is unable to intervene in an ATAS application. You should therefore submit you ATAS application as early as possible, however please note that you will be unable to enrol if your ATAS certificate has expired.
You can find more information on the University website: https://www.lincoln.ac.uk/studywithus/internationalstudents/informationforofferholders/understandingyouroffer/

If you do have any further enquiries then please do contact the International team on: [email protected] and they will be happy to support you further 🙂

Thank you,
Nick

I applied on the 27th of May 2024.
How can I get it in 4 weeks??
As NTU needs it before they can give me my unconditional offer letter for my PhD starting October 1.

Generally speaking, Universities give unconditional offers based on qualifications and not on the ATAS. Source: I am about to do a PhD and received my offer letter shortly after the first informal offer email. I am waiting for the ATAS to be processed for my Visa process.

You can obtain an Unconditional offer without the ATAS, I am also waiting for my ATAS but I received my unconditional offer 2 months ago. So it's not an issue in many cases.

Hello @Henryllouba. Hope you’re doing good. Please I’d like to ask. Have you received it yet and if Yes when did you receive it. I also am waiting for mine.
