A highly relevant field of study is a major which matches your nominated occupation and/or is assessed as suitable for employment in your nominated occupation in Australia.
To determine whether a qualification is in a highly relevant field of study to the nominated occupation, VETASSESS considers:
whether you hold a specialised qualification or whether your qualification has a major or whether your qualification has a major field of study which VETASSESS has identified as being suitable for the occupation in Australia
the number of units completed in the relevant field (for example, this is usually 33% for a three year Bachelor degree course, or 25% for a four year Bachelor degree course)
the depth (progression) and breadth of study in the major
the employment outcomes of the qualification in the country concerned
course requirements - thesis, major projects, internships/work placements.
