Requirements
Exams:
- TOEFL iBT
- IELTS
All applicants must meet one of the following academic entry requirements:
- A formal qualification that is recognised as the equivalent of an Australian (AQF Level 7) Bachelor degree.
If you do not have an AQF Level 7 degree, you can still apply for the course by providing demonstrable evidence of informal and non-formal learning that satisfies all the following AQF Level 7 criteria. They are:
- Broad and coherent theoretical and technical knowledge with depth in one or more disciplines or areas of practice
- Well-developed cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to
(i) analyse and evaluate information to complete a range of activities;
(ii) analyse, generate and transmit solutions to unpredictable and sometimes complex problems and
(iii) transmit knowledge, skills and ideas to others.
- Application of knowledge, skills to demonstrate autonomy, well-developed judgement and responsibility
(i) in contexts that require self-directed work and learning and
(ii) within broad parameters to provide specialist advice and functions.
Where there is doubt about whether or not the informal and non-formal learning equates to the abovementioned AQF Level 7 criteria, applicants may be invited to complete the Murdoch University Pre Law course or use an approved postgraduate preparation program, as an additional basis of admission into the Graduate Diploma in Australian Migration Law. For more information on details of the AQF Level 7 criteria, please see http://www.aqf.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/10AQF_Bachelor-degree.pdf
All students must satisfy Murdoch University's minimum English requirements by demonstrating competency in the English Language.
Career opportunities
By completing this course and the prescribed Capstone Exam, you'll meet the knowledge requirements for becoming a registered migration agent with the Migration Agents Registration Authority.
While the course is ideal for legal practitioners or migration agents who would like to improve their knowledge and practice in this challenging area of law, you are not required to have a legal background to apply.
