The important fact to note is that, a TAFE DIPLOMA is a lower qualification than an undergraduate BACHELORS degree. So logically speaking, if you were eligible to go straight into a Bachelors degree in fashion design, why would you REVERSE this cycle? I've already posted this in another...

From my personal experience, prestige is never a hindrance. So going to UTS or UNSW would be a better choice than going to Billy blue. The name value of a private school like billy blue is relatively unknown and weak compared to the likes of UNSW or UTS. UNSW Cofa design opts for an...

Um well... The obvious difference is that, Interior design is about SPATIAL design. Is closer to architecture. So you are looking at residential home designs, offices, hotels, clubs, shopping malls, exhibitions, museums, and even theme parks and all other forms of commercial interiors. and...

Those programs sound more suited for visual communications than industrial design to me :) ID people would only need photoshop, illustrator and 3D softwares like MAYA, CAD. Hope that helps

you should consider UTS, university of technology sydney. Their design degrees are extremely reputable. The ATAR cut-off is really high too. visual comm design last year was 95.05 for the 4 yrs single degree, and the combined visual comm/ international studies cut-offs have been as high...

They are ATAR equivalents.

i personally think there are more job opportunities in communication design as EVERY cooperation/business requires a creative design strategy. Just look around, everything is designed.

you shouldn't give up either! you haven't 'missed out' by 0.6 YET. No one can predict the ATAR UAI cut-off for 2010, so don't give up your hope and make sure you APPLY. Put it as your first preference and see what happens. :) Should you not get offered a place due to unfortunate...

um hello??? how can you even compare the two? one is a UNIVERSITY the other is a PRIVATE SCHOOL. UTS is extremely SELECTIVE (the design degree UAI/ATAR cut-offs have been around 95), billy blue is OPEN AND ACCEPTS ANYONE WHO CAN AFFORD THE EXPENSIVE TUITION FEES. No other creative design/arts...

I know design degrees at UTS are the most competitive creative arts degrees in the state, but my god, this year the UAI cut-offs for B Design went through the roof :eek: 602040 B Design in Fashion & Textile 96.90 602050 B Design in Industrial Design 87.60 602060 B Design in Interior Design...

I know. . what happened to 609280 B Design Interior BA Int Stds 99.90 :eek: That course isn't even eligible for HSC bonus point schemes, since it's a combined Design degree with int studies. :eek:

Actually no... From my experience, one of the few field of studies that UTS has a better reputation than UNSW or USYD is their Design degrees. They always have the highest number of first preferences for Creative Arts degrees in the state, and that's due to it having strong connections...

I think the introduction of the bonus scheme simply attracted more people, but for those two visual comm and fashion design courses to have a 99.9 cut-off, there has to of been enough legitimate 99.9 + students to cut it at that. Think about it, considering there are two members on this forum...

we should keep this thread on track from now. :)

That's interesting.. So are those engineers with tafe diplomas fakes? :evilfire:

But it would better their chances of actually surviving and making it to the top in the cut-throat industry that it already is with a degree, hence the stiff uai competition. Design industry is renowned for being catty and cut-throat and ultra competitive, having that extra 'edge' would most...

This year's cut-off for Vis Comm went through the roof. 601070 B Design in Visual Comm 95.90 609290 B Design Vis Comm BA Int Stds 99.90 :jaw: :jaw:

It's true... Higher competition means obviously higher cattiness with neck to neck and cut-throat competition. Being 'competent' isn't good enough in an industry like design, as the majority are probably over competent and the market size isn't going to get any bigger. In fact I remember...

When I used that comparison I compared it in terms of coveted job titles, due to these constant rise in design cut-offs, and now it even reaching an unbelievable 99.9. Of course if we are measuring by how valuable certain job is in a life and death situation, doctors will always be number one...

lol and I wonder how many thought of being a doctor after watching Grey's Anatomy. :read:
