从2005年9月1日起，在澳洲的留学生不一定要读满2年，只要所读的课程有4个学期，完成相当于2年的课程（但最少读满16个月），即可申请移民。以往1年半的硕士课程不可移民，现在可以了（但要查看课程安排是否4个学期相当于2年，即第一年安排3学期课程，第2年至少1学期课程）。
Changes to the 2 year study requirement:
From 1 September 2005, the '2 year study requirement' will be modified to enable students undertaking the equivalent of 2 years study in a minimum of 16 months to satisfy this requirement.
This policy change recognises that many educational institutions have introduced new academic year arrangements whereby 3 semesters of equal length are offered in a single calendar year, rather than the traditional 2 semesters.
From 1 September 2005, students will meet the '2 year study requirement' if they can demonstrate that they have completed the equivalent of 2 years, that is 4 semesters/terms of full-time study in a minimum of 16 months.
Other requirements remain unchanged - that each course of study undertaken must be:
• CRICOS Registered;
• conducted entirely in English;
• undertaken in Australia at an Australian educational institution;
and
• involve a full-time study load for each term/semester of study remain unchanged.
Further information about the 2 year study rule will be available on the Department's website from 1 September 2005, when the new policy takes effect.
