| Course Description | This course takes a broad socio-political and theoretical view of the regulation of the movement of people around the world, with a particular focus on Australian law and policy on immigration control. The course begins with an examination of theoretical approaches to global movements of people, including the relationship between State sovereignty and citizenship, and individual rights. The course uses this theoretical framework to provide an introduction to the Australian immigration system, its history, and the principal visa categories. Particular attention will be paid to skilled and unskilled working visas, family visas, and student visas. The course will focus on the application process, eligibility criteria, and avenues of review and appeal in the Migration Review Tribunal. Comparisons will be drawn with overseas migration law and policy. |
