高等教育、技能、就业和劳资关系部部长克里斯·埃文斯和移民公民部部长克里斯·鲍文通过联合媒体共同宣布。
The Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations, Senator Chris Evans, and the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen MP, today announced more international students will be eligible for an extension of post-study work arrangements as part of the government's ongoing commitment to support the international education sector.
　　今天，高等教育、技能、就业和劳资关系部部长、参议员克里斯·埃文斯和移民及公民事务部部长克里斯·鲍文议员宣布更多的国际学生将有资格享受毕业工作签证的政策，这是澳洲政府致力于支持国际教育事业的一部分。
The government recently announced post-study work arrangements for university graduates in response to the Knight Review of the Student Visa program.
　　针对奈特的学生签证程序评估，联邦政府最近宣布大学生毕业工作安排。
'We are pleased to be extending post-study work arrangements to Bachelor or higher degree graduates from other education providers accredited to offer degree level programs, in addition to university graduates,' Mr Bowen said.
　　鲍文部长说：“我们很高兴能将毕业工作安排的范畴扩展至有资格授予学士学位的非大学院校的学士学位或更高学位的毕业生和大学毕业生”
'Graduates who complete their degrees after at least two academic years' study in Australia will be able to access post-study work arrangements from 2013, in time for students who are applying for their Student Visas now.'
　　他还说：“在澳大利亚至少学习两学年并完成了学业的毕业生自2013年起可以获得毕业后的工作安排，目前正在申请学生签证的的学生正好能够赶上这一安排。”
Currently, more than 80 percent of international students enrolled at the Bachelor degree level or above are eligible for the existing temporary skilled graduate visa, which provides an 18-month stay in Australia with work rights.
　　当前，80%以上的正在就读学士学位课程或更高教育课程的国际学生有资格申请现行的毕业生临时技术签证。该签证允许他们毕业后在澳洲居住18个月，并享有工作权利。
These changes bring Australia into line with arrangements in other countries and enable education providers to offer a more competitive package to international students who are seeking good quality and long-term study in Australia, regardless of their field of interest,' Senator Evans said.
'The new arrangements extend the stay period to two years, while Masters by research or PhD students will be eligible for stays of three and four years respectively, reflecting the importance of the role of research in fostering innovation in the Australian economy.'
　　参议员埃文斯说：“这些变革使得澳洲的政策与其他国家的相关政策接轨，并促使澳洲的学校成为那些正在寻求澳洲高质量和长期学习的国际学生提供更具竞争力的课程，无论他们的兴趣是哪方面的。”他还说：“新政策将临时居住时间延长到两年，而研究型硕士毕业生和博士毕业生将可分别获得3年和4年的毕业工作签证，这反映了研究在澳大利亚经济中促进革新方面的重要作用。
For students who obtain qualifications other than a Bachelor degree or above, the existing temporary skilled graduate visa, which provides for a stay of 18 months for those with qualifications in eligible fields of study, will still be available.
　　对于那些未获得学士或更高学位的学生，现行的毕业生临时技术签证仍然使用。在学习领域达到资格要求的学生，可以获得毕业生临时技术签证，即拥有18个月的居住权利。
