This course will focus on the frequently and rapidly changing framework of Skilled, Business Innovation and Investment migration to Australia. It is designed to enable students to understand the background to, and working mechanisms of, these highly complex, visa systems. The course looks at the boundaries and commonalities between skilled, business innovation and investment visa classes focusing on the requirements of the most common skilled visa subclasses and recently introduced new skilled, business innovation and investment visas. Students will be equipped with theory, practical knowledge and cognitive skills to enable them to further their careers as subject matter experts, specialist researchers and/or mentors of practicing professionals.
