It can be a mystery where to decide to go. There's lots of practical and personal considerations, so we've collated all the info into one place to make the process a bit easier.
Academic Units of Application
There are 15 Academic Units of Application that you can apply to for the AFP/SFP. You can pick a maximum of two AUoAs so it is essential that you research them thoroughly before applying.
