Our PGCE courses do not require ATAS clearance.
You must provide the full list of modules available to you on your course when submitting your ATAS application. Do not submit a list of only those modules you intend to study. The list of relevant modules for your course can be found in the Course Description Document which can be found on the courses page of the University of Southampton website. We recommend referencing this document on our website when applying for ATAS as this version will always be the most up to date.
You will be asked for your supervisor's name when submitting your ATAS application. We advise you to enter the relevant Director of Programmes in this section. The relevant name for your course can be found on this webpage.
