We are 22 minutes by train to the greatest city in the world, London - http://www.visitlondon.com/
But we are far enough away that its all a bit ye olde weldy
Hatfield is home to Lara Crofts house in the film Tomb Raider also known as Hatfieled house. You may have also seen it as the home of Bruce Wayne in the movie Batman and in films such as Shakespeare in Love, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Vanity Fair, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows and the King's Speech. It was also home to Queen Elizabeth I and is over 400 years old.
And there are lots of nice old pubs like the Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Cool name I know
And its good fun on a Saturday night
But if night clubbing is more your thing (LONDON-Ministry of Sound) then there are trains to London 24-7 in towns like St Albans
And there is the world famous London West end for a great night out - http://www.westendlondon.com/
And Soho has got a great buzz at night
So come on, whats stopping you apply now, we can do a Video interview if you want, we did one the other day with a chap from LA. We are a great bunch of Lecturer staff and the students are fantastic, really keen and a pleasure to teach. The course is also getting better and better every year thanks to a great management team that are really happy to support us.
We just thought we would add this, its from 3D World mentioning that the University of Hertfordshire is one of the best places to study Animation in the world. It was a very nice surprise for us to be pitched next to such great schools.
So come on and join the team, its a once in a life time offer, think about what you will do with the four months research time, maybe do an MA or PhD and become a Doctor you could make a website and forum, or you could start a business, that whats one of the lecturer staff did a couple of years ago and it is growing from strength to strength, Rewindfx Another one learnt so many new skills that a few years later he became an Art Director at Sony and tripled his wage from when he left as a senior artist.
We look forward to looking through your CV and Showreel, give it a shot what's the worst that can happen.
Best Wishes,
The Animation Team
