Perfect! Was looking for somewhere to ask this question hahaha.

Does anyone know how the UTS Communications: Media Arts and Production course compares to the AFTRS film course (Australian Film Television and Radio School for anyone that hasn't heard of it hahaha)?

I've been accepted into AFTRS, but its just soooo expensive and I can't get HECS (something else called FEE Help, if anyone has any experience with this as well that would be much appreciated!). Wondering if UTS, which is quite a bit cheaper, would still be of a similar quality? I know that AFTRS has quite a high percentage of students get jobs in the film industry straight away - is that the same with UTS? If anyone has any insight, would be greatly appreciated
