2年政策到底是怎么回事,估计所有了解它现状的人都糊涂了...有人说COE不能变动,有人说必须16门subjects or equivalent.....
16门课程的事情是有人问移民局,然后公布了回信,回信中写道:"From 1 September 2007, applicants for a General Skilled Migration (GSM) visa wishing to meet the 2 year study rule will need to have completed a program of study with a two (2) year academic workload (16 subjects ore. equivalent). Two (2) academic years study means the equivalent of two (2)years study enrolled at 100% or a full time load. It is a measure of the amount of study you have completed rather than how long it took you to complete the study."
我很疑惑啊,那原来那些课程设置,就只有12subjects,但是COE给的就是2年的怎么办?难道硬加上去课程?实在没课程加了就像adelaide U那样加bussiness communication这样无中生有纯粹语言班类型的必修课?举例,SOCIAL WORK唯一的2个认证的硕士课程,RMIT和FLINDER都是12subjects,但是2年COE的。不过前者似乎实践课分数3倍于其他课程,这样也满足equivalent这个条件,而flinder就是彻底的12门subjects...另外,MPHIL-研究型硕士怎么算,研究型硕士是不定时间长度的,比如我拿的悉尼大学的MPHIL in social work,是半年-1.5年,最长2年完成。那如果它在移民局注册2年课程,我是否可以在16个月内读完,满足2年课程呢?我真是想糊涂了,写信问移民局,得到以下回答:
I understand that the Master of Philosophy at the University of Sydney is a two-year full-time program. As such, you will be taken to have met the two year study requirement when you have successfully completed all academic requirements for the award of that degree, provided you complete the program over a period of at least 16 calendar months.
Any Masters degree which is equivalent to a two-year full-time program of study will meet the two year study requirement. I understand that the
Master of Social Work at both RMIT and Flinders University fits this description.
一个建议,没来的兄弟姐妹们,听小R句劝,别差那点钱了,大头都出了,找课程,要么找1年8门的,以后再读个1年八门的,前提是密切相关,相关到都属于EE,或者会计与金融,厨师和酒店管理这种主观臆测很Postive的,要看移民局脸色....要么干脆读2年16门的,比如adelaide U的 master of accounting and finance。改革怎么改,人家是最符合规矩的....
9月1日官方更新:

If you are given credit for prior learning it will reduce the amount of study you have completed.
The department will use the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) to determine the standard duration of a course. A course that has a registered duration of 104 weeks is considered to be a two year course.
one word, 选择CRICOS是104周的课程,103周都不行...这个有点ridiculous....有些2年课程注册的是96周或者102周,这104周跟人家根本没区别...但是....在移民上还是保守主义的好...
