Will it be easier to immigrate to Australia to study for a master's degree or a doctor's degree now?

In Australia, when some immigration majors, such as accounting, IT, engineering, etc. It's already in full swing, and the score is so high that many people with immigration ideas are discouraged, and more people are beginning to consider that some unpopular jobs are good immigrants and good jobs. Lawyers with respect, high social status and considerable income have become the choice of more and more people. However, the profession of lawyer is so attractive that there must be some aspects that are difficult to achieve. Lawyer is a very difficult occupation to qualify in Australia, which can also be seen in the higher application requirements of many schools. For example, the entrance to the University of Western Australia requires IELTS score of 7.5, or the entrance to Melbourne requires LSAT score, and so on. However, such a request has not stopped some people's determination, and more and more people are beginning to consider the profession of lawyer. So today I will share my knowledge about how to immigrate to Australia to study law.

First of all, Li Liuxue 360 tells you about the common legal courses in Australia:

1. Bachelor of Laws, with a length of 4 years.

2.LLM (Master of Laws) Master of Laws, length of schooling 1 year.

3. JD (Julis Doctor), doctor of law, with a general educational system of 3 years.

Some students with legal background in China often choose LLM (Master of Laws) courses. After all, the course 1 year can be finished, saving time, effort and money. However, LLM is only a one-year advanced course in law, which is equivalent to the Master of Law in China. LLM's enrollment is generally aimed at foreign applicants with legal background. You can't take the bar exam after graduation, that is, you can't immigrate after LLM. So if you have the idea of immigration, you should choose LLB or JD courses.

Then the question is coming:

1. How to immigrate after LLB or JD courses?

The requirement of Australian lawyer immigration is to complete LLB or JD degree, and then complete PLT (Practical Legal Training) course for half a year, and reach 60 points, then you can obtain lawyer qualification and become a solicitor. So this 60 points, we generally say, age 30 points+education 15 points+at least 2 years of study experience in Australia 5 points+IELTS 4 points 7 points; 60 points is easy to get, and immigration will not be a problem.

2. What is 2.PLT?

PLT is similar to a lawyer's internship, which requires 75 working days in a law firm or the legal department of a company. PLT is not difficult to pass. The difficulty of being a lawyer lies in the difficulty of LLB or JD course itself. As long as the course is completed, PLT is basically not a problem. After the completion, you can directly apply for an Australian lawyer's license and become a formal lawyer, without examination. A junior lawyer can handle general criminal and civil litigation, commercial contracts, house sales and other business, but he cannot bring a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Australia. From junior lawyers to senior lawyers, you must pass the exam to register in the bar association. Barristers are lawyers and legal advisers who are qualified to appear in the High Court of Australia. Lawyers have extremely high requirements for lawyers' language ability, and they must practice on an individual basis. Therefore, in Australia, few China lawyers whose mother tongue is not English are willing or qualified to be lawyers.
