Foundations of Australian Migration Law and Practice (7131LAW)

This course is the first of eight courses that comprise the Graduate Diploma of Australian Migration Law and Practice. The Graduate Diploma of Australian Migration Law and Practice is one of the prescribed academic qualifications for registration as a migration agent in Australia. This course covers the foundation aspects of Australian migration legislation and policy and provides an introduction to legal research using LEGENDcom. This course provides students with a sound knowledge of the importance of the legislative schedules found in the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) and fundamental visa application processes. The companion course to 7131LAW is 7231LAW (Practitioner Skills) which simultaneously builds on the practical background to immerse students in a virtual office environment. Like the other companion courses in the Graduate Diploma Program, in 7231LAW students will learn and apply practitioner skills they need to effectively integrate the legislative content they acquire in 7131LAW. 7131LAW is offered in online mode only.
