🎯 What You Can Study
Based on your APS, here are the qualification levels and course fields you can realistically aim for, and the types of institutions to apply to.

⚠️ Important: This is a guide based on your APS band. Every course and university sets its own APS cut-off and required subjects (e.g. Medicine and Engineering often need an APS of 38+ AND high marks in Maths & Physical Science). Popular courses fill up fast and need marks above the minimum. Always confirm the exact requirements on each institution's official website before applying.
