Equivalency

[lissyb]

Hi

I was hoping that it would be possible for you to provide me with some advice.


I am currently a third year student studying physiotherapy in the UK, i will be qualifying on the 12th July.

My parents emigrated to Australia over a year and a half ago and i was lucky enough to be granted a permanent visa as well! They now reside on the Mornington Peninsula

I am now looking to rejoin my family ASAP, i have looked at the various options and find that my degree structure matches up well to the Australian Structure.

I also a uk qualified swimming teacher and also a level 2 APPI instructor so have transferable skill!!

However i have read several posts that state people have been told they would not receive equivalency for a British degree!

Any Help anyone can give me would be much appreciated!

And make me a very happy girl getting to go and be with my family again!

Thanks

Lissy

Ah... I did a 4 year course so that'll be the difference!

Guess your best bet is either the exams (just like a few more uni exams) or go via NZ and get registration that way.

I know this was post started earlier in the year . . . but that is great news regarding the equivalency.
I am about to apply for this and I understand that you can be granted equivalence if you have a 4 year BSc or a 2 year MSc.
i completed and MSc at Southampton 2 years ago and am hoping to go to oz next year.

I have just emailed the APC with a few queries regarding the evidence documents they require. My uni has supplied these but I believe I need to submit 2 copies.

Any input from you or anyone else who has manged this successfully would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mel,
I wasn't aware that you would be able to get it with a 2 year MSc course so that's good if you can. Yes, as far as i can remember you have to send 2 copies of everything and get them all signed by a JP. They ask for quite a lot of detail so took me a long time to get everything all together. Although, i qualified about 9 years ago and also was already in oz which made getting things i needed even more difficult!
If you have any further questions, you can email me on saz251@yahoo.com as probably easier as i can access email on my phone.

good luck!
