Well firstly I'm surprised with that post Guava 5 you ended up choosing UTS! It was very much bias towards Billy Blue. Now i don't know much about Billy Blue but I can correct some of the mistakes in your observations with UTS as most of your "pros" seemed to be more about having a social...

Ahah ok great well i entered with an interest in film so this works out well.. In third year there is a stream called 'VC Tech' where the VisCom students pretty much choose a VisCom elective - between Film, Web, Photomedia or Interactive Media. Here you can choose 'Introduction to Film' and...

1. If you don't get the ATAR and don't want to do TAFE there are 2 options - 1) You apply as a Mature Age Student after a year, in which i would highly recommend building your portfolio and doing as much 'design' related things as possible just so you have an advantage. 2) Apply for Insearch...

Yo, I'm in 4th year for Vis-com. From what i know they've removed sub-majors altogether? So even if you technically complete say all the subjects in a submajor.. it'll still come up on your transcript as the 4 different subjects. Anyway in choosing the types of subjects. Do what interests...

Definitely. I wish someone had told me this when i got in.. but pretty much the Bachelor of International Studies is a degree of its own which is undertaken by students in the whole of UTS - Business, IT, Science, Design etc: Most of the time a small percentage of students decide they don't...

Hey I'm in 4th year at the moment. To be honest i used to question the course as well when i was in your position.. i didn't even know why i chose it actually apart from the fact i had an interest in doing something creative as going down a business path seemed like hell. As you progress you...

The benefit of doing Insearch over TAFE is that you do assignments that are exactly identical to the assignments completed by UTS Students. I had a friend who went through INSEARCH to get into Vis-Com (which i am doing) and he did the exact assignments we did for 1st year. If you can imagine...

my 'low-scale' subjects got me into the course

I have a friend who did industrial design because she didn't get the marks for viscom and has failed to transfer 2 years in a row. I think they combine the UAI mark with your interview/portfolio to determine how likely you get in. There is an Insearch course which does practically if not...

viscoms number is about 100 i know industrial is like 50 and not too sure with the other two

ahah its nice to see your so dedicated for the course im guessing you're still in yr 12, if thats the case you can only apply for the course in your 1st year based on your uai. however, worst case scenario, if you dont get in in your first year you can apply again the year after which is when...

The maximum bonus points you can get is 5 which means if you band 6 both subjects you won't get 5x2, itll only be 5

my friend was in the same position as you so she enrolled into ID and tried to transfer to Viscomm this year. She just told me she didnt get in so she's going to just finish her ID degree and hopefully try and get into a Viscomm related field later. This is a fair enough direction. On the...

I was in the same predicament last year, i just finished 1st year viscom and am incredibly glad i ended up choosing it over digital media. The biggest difference between the two is that UTS has so many industry links and the course is structured to give you the best headstart in the graphic...

hahaha that is the greatest
