qualifications!!

Hi everyone,

first time here and got a heap of questions that im hoping someone can answer but guess its best to go one at a time. Firstly does anyone know what the deal is if you have a degree and are planning on emmigrating to oz? is it still acknowledged? does it depend on the degree? do you have to do a top up or is it as simple as walking in and still having the same qualification?

hope someone can help. thanks.

Hi Sideshowste,

If you have a degree that's a great start. Like everybody I think we all have to fill out the TRA assessment forms and send them off to Canberra. Write down on the form what you have as well as your previous work experience and keep your fingers crossed like me in a few day's time when I send mine off...

Take care,
Dougie...

It depends in what context you're refering to and what type of degree.

If you have a BA or BSC (with Hons?) then if you put it on your CV as part of your education it would mostly be taken as an equivalent aussie degree, a HNC or equivalent probably wouldn't.

If you are using your degree as part of your skills assessment for your visa then you will most likely be asked to provide transcripts of your course plus individual marks achieved in order to ascertain whether it met the required standards of the body assessing you.

The same would most likely apply if you were trying to get membership to a specific professional body. In this case you may be asked to take regional australian papers for things like Law or Tax where UK & Australian standard differ.
