Do I need to specify a JACS code and fill in an ATAS certificate with my MSc application?
Neither a JACS code nor an ATAS certificate is required when applying for one of our taught MSc programmes in Computer Science or Information Technology. However, overseas applicants (i.e. those outside the EU and the EEA) to the one year MSc in Advanced Computer Science, which is an MSc by research, will need a JACS code, which identifies the general area of research. We will tell you what your JACS code is once your research topic has been agreed with your supervisors. You can then use that to make an ACAS application before you apply for your visa to enter the UK.
