Engineering degree
 
Hello,

Does anyone know if a bachelors degree from the UK is recognised in Australia.

Will a company hire you based on your qualifications based from the UK?

Should be OK.

If possible it might be an idea to get a CEng, since you should be able to directly transfer that into the Australian equivalent, meaning they don't have to think.

Do you have a visa to allow you to work in Australia? What happened to Canada?

Well, just goes to show I'm out of touch.:rofl: Back in 2005 I remember having a choice of using Washington Accord Elec Eng or MBA. Validating MBA was cheapest.

Are you sure you don't? I've just had a look at the Engineers Australia site and to have an Engineering degree accredited (as opposed to engineering technologist), you would choose the Washington Accord pathway.

Choose Your Assessment Pathway - Engineers Australia

Obviously, it's been a while since Mr Dreamy had his accredited, so if you can show how this doesn't apply, it could help other engineering applicants.

You can gain PR on any of the 3 accords, as long as you can pass the skills assessment, your skill is on the skills list and you have enough points. Take me for example, i have been assessed as an Engineering technologist, i was assessed under the sydney accord. Engineeeing technologist is on the MLTSSL, therefore with the correct amount of points I could submit an EOI for a pr visa or any of the other pr routes, sponsorship etc

Which visa have you applied for? You can't just come over for a visit and secure employment, you need to have your skills assessed and a visa in hand before an employer will give you a job.

Ah, okay, I'm with you - I thought from the title of the thread we were talking about having an engineering degree accredited. Obviously if you're going for engineering technologist you wouldn't go for the Washington Accord.
