Visa application and ATAS

[Artu]

I received an offer to do an MSc in Management a reputed university in UK. The problem is I've already applied for an ATAS for a program in another university,. Will this affect my visa application since I've decided to proceed with the Management program.?
Appreciate the forum experts' input.

Not in itself, although it may come up a part of your credibility check, if the other programme was a very different area of study. I assume it was fairly different, given that only specific scientific courses require ATAS.

Thank you for the information. OK then it's all up to how I justify it during the credibility check. I had actually applied ATAS for an MSc program last year that's about to start this March and I applied for this Management program later.
