Philippine Bachelor degree equivalent to an Australian Bachelor?

retroliferetrolife North RydePosts: 9Member
edited October 2013 in Working and skilled visas
Hi guys,

I went to the Ateneo de Manila University and completed a 4 year Bachelor degree in Science.

Does anyone know if this is directly equivalent to an Australian Bachelor degree? Or if there is a certain GPA I need to have achieved before it is assessed as being equivalent?

Any insights will be greatly appreciated!

    @retrolife Ateneo is under section 1 school. For sure you can claim 15pts as it is equivalent for an Australian Bachelor degree. ;)

    @retrolife - based on previous experience of members here, degrees from schools classified as section 1, like your school, are equivalent to AU degrees..

    so the answer is yes..

    @isidro023 pag nasa section 1 ang school mo ma-awardan ka ng equivalent to Australian Bachelors degree, then ganun din pag nasa section 2, Pag section 3 sila yung nabibigyan kadalasan ng lower credit usually lower than the AQF Bachelors degree, like for example kahit Bachelors degree na meron ka nagiging AQF Diploma lang sa pananaw nila...

    Malaking BUT kahit nasaan kang section at for example may PRC ka OR five year course, equivalent agad yan sa AQF Bachelors degree...

    Hello Everyone, I'm a BS Computer Engineering graduate at AMA Computer College (under section3).

    Do you think it will be assessed as a bachelor degree (15p) or diploma (10p) only?

    @DontStopBelieving From what I know and based sa mga nababasa ko on other forums yes. Nagiging basis nila ang number or years, total number of unitd earned, course content, PRC and super LEAST consideration on grades.

    Based on other AMA COE graduates AQF Bachelors naman nakukuha nila. Just an advice I think it is not a college it is a University for Makati branch? There's a distinction din kasi ang school na college sa isang University.

    During my assessment time (medyo matagal na), pag section 1 school mo, very high chances na yung Ph bachelor degree mo is an Au equivalent degree (kahit pa mababa grades mo or hindi ka board passer).

    Pag section 2 school mo, kailangang mataas grades mo (may prescribed grades na nakaset) or board passer ka so they can consider your Ph bachelor degree as an Au equivalent degree.

    Pag section 3 school mo, kailangang board passer ka so they can consider your Ph bachelor degree as an Au equivalent degree.

    Bumili nga ako before ng booklet ng school sections because they dont publicly publish the school sections.

    Well, baka nagbago na rules.

    @DontStopBelieving Looks like Ok naman ang number of units mo. Just include everything na pwede mong include na lang like vendor certifications. Pero based sa nababasa ko sa thread ang mga COE ng AMA eh AQF Bachelors degree naman.

    Good luck @DontStopBelieving...

    @apple I agree with @lock_code2004 better avail of the PTA.. mahirap po magka problem pag nahawakan na ng Case Officer... Best to cost minimal amount than having hundreds of medicol para sa headache hehehe... :) Plus higher chance of denying your visa and failure to reach your dreams... Just a piece of advice :)
