Hi there! I had a great relief when I saw this useful forum. I started my engineering in my home country and after completing first two years I transfered my credits to university of Leicester and studies final two years here. Recently I have completed my degree and now want to join Loughborough uni for postgraduate studies. I have applied for atas certificate on 18th of august and got an email on same day from atas team saying "We would like to see more information before we process this. Â For your referees we would like to see details of two people who have known you academically (a tutor or supervisor) or professionally (a manager from a place of work) for longer than 3 years. Â At least one of these referees needs to be an academic from your country of origin" I responded on same day as I have not spent continuous three years in any uni and I have explained this thing several times. I didn't get any response from them and I am really worried and want to ask whether providing referees who have be known for less than three years will have any effect? Can it lead to refusal of atas application? Please help me if anybody has any information and moreover, how much they taking to process the applications now a days as in next week my course is starting.
