All applicants will receive a reply from APMA, confirming the receipt of documents submitted, possibly including requests for additional documents to comply with APMA or university guidelines.
Complete applications are forwarded to the APMA Selection Committee. Decisions usually take around three to four weeks after the final application deadline.
Selection Results
The results of applications will be sent to all applicants via email, which can be one of the following:
- An offer of acceptance and scholarship (if you applied for a scholarship)
- An offer of acceptance without scholarship
- A letter informing the applicant of being waitlisted
- A letter informing of an unsuccessful application
Those who receive either offer letters must inform APMA of whether they accept of decline the offer. They must do so within a deadline specified in the letter, other wise the offer is deemed declined.
Those who are informed of being waitlisted have to confirm their waitlist status in order for then to be considered for acceptance in case someone declines an offer. Slots that become vacant are then offered to waitlisted applicants, which are prioritized using the same criteria for reviewing applications.
It is important to note that the letter of offer from the APMA program cannot be used to apply for a Thai student visa. A separate document will be issued to you once you accept the offer of place in the program.
