HI,
I'm wondering if anyone have similar experiences applying for Australia Permanent Residency after studying 3-year bachelor degree in Australia?
I have a BA. in Architectural Studies (Australia Uni.) and a RIBA Part 1 (3-year,UK).
I am doubtful if I could apply under Skill Migrant "ARCHITECT" nomination category? My degrees are both 3-year bachelor degrees NOT Master in Architecture.
After enquiring from AACA (Architect Accreditation Council of Australia), according to the email reply of the administration officer , it says I could apply for my qualification to be assessed even though it is not on the Recognized Architecture Qualifications list (MArch or BA. of Architecture - 5-year course) as long as my study in relation to architecture (in any country) adds up to at least 5 years.
I am just wondering if anyone had similar situation or had studied a 3-year bachelor degree, applied for PR in Australia and passed and which category of nomination do you apply under?
I just want to clarify on the information.
I have read that UK qualification (RIBA) been rejected under Australian architecture accreditation council and in my home country both my degrees haven't yet qualified me using the Architect title.
I just hope to get more information before sending in my application together with a thousand odd dollars ($1050) for assessment under AACA.
Otherwise which other category could I have applied for if it's not under Architecture professional body -AACA ?
Thank you!
Any little information is appreciated.
