Subclass 189 Study Requirement for Visa Subclass 189

Hello, I am a engineering graduate looking to apply for the 189 visa in the next year or so, still need to have a skill assessment from EA beforehand.

In the points calculator present, there is a study requirement that says the following:

" Do you have at least 1 degree, diploma or trade qualification from an Australian educational institution that meets the Australian study requirement? "

Link to study requirements

In no point does it state that the degree/diploma has to be directly related to the skill selected from SOL, so for example will taking a diploma of software development that meet the study requirement criterias increase the points or is it invalid if not related to the skill selected?

Thank you

For claiming 5 points of Australian study, you must have studied for at least 2 years in Australia and It doesn’t matter in which occupation you have studied.

Hello thank you for your reply, may i also ask if this diploma can give me access to apply to a 485 visa even though i am not applying for a skill directly related to the diploma?

Taking the example above, can i apply for a 485 visa with the diploma meeting the study requirement but as an engineering skill set.
