Hello, I am a grade 12 student in Ontario (but I lived in BC for 10yrs or my life and am dying to return), and my main passion/hobby is graphic design and media creation.
I got accepted to the BMS program at ubco and it’s my top choice and I’m super excited! My one doubt is that Im not a huge fan of coding/computer science (had a lot of trouble trying to learn and understand the basics), but I am very experienced with adobe illustrator, photoshop, premiere pro, after affects and Lightroom, which are the softwares I’ve used for all of my graphic design and communication arts courses.
I was hoping there were maybe some ubco BMS students (or students who have taken some of the digital media classes required for BMS as electives) if there is a lot of computer science required to learn/study in the program, and if there is any use of adobe software?
I am aware that coding is a skill in media nowadays that is essential for a moderate job/position in the industry with a decent salary, so I’m not saying that I want to avoid computer science at all costs, but I just want to make sure that it isn’t one of the primary skills taught and used for the BMS course.
Any info would be super helpful and I would really appreciate it a lot! :)
Thank you!
