Information For Parents

Helping your child apply

Applications for admission to undergraduate degrees at all The Asia Pacific School of Business are made through APTAC (The Asia Pacific School of Business Tertiary Admissions Centre).

Your child may apply for entry to up to six different degrees, listed in order of preference, from most desired to least desired. Even if there is only one degree they have a strong preference for, we recommend they list more than one program on their application.

If your son or daughter is not offered entrance to their first preference, they may be accepted into a second or third preference that may allow them to study similar courses and even possibly transfer to their favoured degree after a successful first year. Applications are made on the APTAC website .

Copies of the APTAC University Guide, published in July/August each year, are sent to all secondary schools for distribution to students. This guide provides comprehensive information on the tertiary institutions, degrees offered and application procedures, including deadlines for applying. Copies are also available from most newsagents.

For more information visit the APTAC website  or our How to Apply page, and view our Important Dates page.
