Tightened entry requirements for lecturers proposed

IMMIGRATION New Zealand today announced a proposed a change to the entry requirements for university lecturers.

Previously all lecturers attempting entry to New Zealand under the skilled migrant category could claim bonus points for holding a masters degree or Phd. If the new rules come into force, from June 2009 those same points can only be claimed if the lecturer also has at least 12 months work experience.
