澳洲的兩年教育經歷和偏遠地區加分是怎麼定義的?

請問大家,如果在偏遠地區讀碩士研究生,graduate diploma一年+master coursework一年半,畢業了這樣能拿到澳洲學歷5分,偏遠地區5分,和兩年工簽(485)嗎?能具體解釋一些澳洲的graduate certificate和graduate diploma的概念嗎?謝謝各位!


謝邀

這是一個有趣的問題。。

最近移民局關於GD算不算在Australian study requirement一事,是比較矛盾的。。。

GD一般來說,是一個高於Bachelor但是低於Master的東西。從入學要求來說,必須是本科畢業後才可以申請。

在規定加分細則的法條Reg 2.26AC(6)中,規定了四種被承認的degree:

(i) in the case of a bachelor』s degree — satisfactory completion of year 12 in the Australian school system or of equivalent schooling; and

(ii) in the case of a master』s degree — satisfactory completion of a bachelor』s degree awarded at an Australian tertiary educational institution or of an equivalent award; and

(iii) in the case of a doctoral degree — satisfactory completion of a bachelor』s degree awarded with honours, or a master』s degree, at an Australian tertiary educational institution or of an equivalent award; and

(iv) in the case of a postgraduate diploma — satisfactory completion of a bachelor』s degree or diploma awarded at an Australian tertiary educational institution or of an equivalent award;

那麼問題來了,按照(iv)的要求,GD算不算是postgraduate diploma呢?這個存疑,下面說。

而另一方面,在Australian study requirement的PAM(可以理解為類似司法解釋)中,又明確規定了:

For example, a visa applicant who has completed in Australia:

a Certificate II in any discipline or

a Certificate IV in a discipline other than a trade, for example a Certificate IV in Business Management or

a Graduate Certificate or

Graduate Diploma

cannot use that qualification on its own to meet the Australian study requirement. (The list above is illustrative, not exhaustive.)

結合上面兩條,雖然我們可以按照(iv)的規定,認為GD是postgraduate diploma中的一種,但說到底,這只是一種對於法條的理解。而PAM中是明確規定了GD不屬於Australian study requirement的。從優先順序來說,肯定還是要認為GD不符合規定比較好。

好在,有一種情況的GD,是符合規定的。

Only study that has resulted in the completion of a degree, diploma or trade qualification can be counted towards meeting the Australian study requirement. If applicants intend to use multiple courses to meet the Australian study requirement, they must demonstrate the multiples courses are the same course or packaged courses. A course cannot be counted simply because the Diploma, degree or trade qualification was awarded as a 「result of」 the applicant』s completion of a pre-requisite course. The course must be part of the Diploma, degree or trade qualification. This means the course must be packaged with the Diploma, degree or trade qualification or RPL is accepted as part of the Diploma, degree or trade qualification.

翻譯過來的意思就是,如果一個申請人用多個學歷來滿足澳洲學習的要求,那麼必須證明這個多個學歷之間是緊密相關,並且是配套課程。而配套課程的判定,一般來說是按照前一個課程的學分是否可以在後一個課程中作為credit來作為依據的。

換句話說,如果是作為MASTER的前置課程而出現的GD,是可以算在時間內的。而MASTER畢業後,為了補時間而申請的GD,則不會符合規定。

如果不符合規定,那麼澳洲學習的5分和畢業後的485,就都不能申請了。。。

那麼題主你是哪一種情況呢?

這個事情目前還沒有出正式的官方回應。

據說有同行發了郵件質問移民局,移民局的回復是這樣的:

"The Delegate is required to make a decision based on the information they have available to them at that time. The Procedural Instructions (formerly known as the PAM) were recently reviewed and clarification was obtained regarding the definition of eligible qualifications for the purposes of applying for a Temporary Graduate Visa.

Based on the Federal Court case Bhatt v Minister of Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 918 (Bhatt), the Department』s view is that neither a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma meets the definition under Regulation 2.2AC(6), as it does not give any reference to either qualification in its definition of a Degree or a Diploma."

FCA918這個案子,我翻了一下,按照判例,GC肯定是不算了。。。GD卻並沒有明確指出。。。

所以,關於單獨一個GD能不能算,還是要等等官方的正式回復。。。

至於偏遠地區。。。

目前除了南澳塔斯北領地之外,其他州是否偏遠,取決於你上學的CAMPUS的郵編是多少。。。

Migration Regulations 1994 - Specification under item 6D101 of Schedule 6D - Location of Campuses and Postcodes - June 2012

打得開的話,你可以自己查一下


首先Graduate Certificate和Graduate Diploma這兩個一個是研究生證書,一個是研究生文憑,一個讀半年左右,一個是一年。

在澳洲是否有移民加分兩年,主要是看你學的專業,學分夠不夠兩年,所以關健在於你選專業的時候,選的專業是否學分是兩年的,如果是一年半的,你在前面加讀了一個Graduate Certificate或者Graduate Diploma都是算一年半的。如果你的專業是兩年的,但在申請的時候,自己的背景不夠,學校經常會讓你先讀Graduate Diploma+MASTER(加起來一共也是只讀兩年),如果順利讀完Graduate Diploma的一年,成績達到學校的要求,是可以把Graduate Diploma這一年的學分轉到MASTER的第一年,這樣轉完第一年的學分後,接著讀MASTER的第二年課程,這樣的情況,是完全是算二年的。所以選了偏遠地方,一定是有5分的偏遠分遠,也一定有二年的學習5分加,也一定可以拿兩年工簽(485)。

所以當自己一開始申請的專業是一年半的時候,無論你用什麼方法, 使自己在澳洲的學習超過二年,三年,都是算一年半的學分的,這個二年的定義,不是看你在澳洲學習多久,移民局是看你的學分是否夠兩年。
