question on B vis comm &/or B ind design (1 Viewer)

[jtran]

Hi everyone,

Can any current or past students of visual communciation & industrial design tell me whether studying visual art and DT is a really big advantage in these courses or one of them?
Im very interested in these courses but I'm worried that I dont fit the recommeded studies part and might not be able to do well because ive only done basic art & dt of yr 10 level.

thanx (in advance) for any replies

You've already done your HSC,

though art and dt are two of the main subjects in a sense, especially for vis com.

you can get bonus uai points just for getting a certain band, and since you are doing both, you are approved of an extra 5 points.

I'd say it doesn't hurt to study it.
It is recommended on their handbook, but luckily it's not an assumed knowledge.
I guess if you didn't study art in high school, but are willing to make up for it by studying extra hard at uni, you wouldn't fall behind.
However if you haven't made your subject choices yet for high school, I'd highly recommend doing visual arts or d&t. Especially the visual arts.
