I should add that the job role in dollars is around $70K

We are 22 minutes by train to London - http://www.visitlondon.com/


But if you don't want to live in London we are far enough away that its all a bit ye olde weldy and you could live in Hatfield and cycle into work every day. Or a 10 minute drive away is St Albans or Hertford.


The University is in Hatfield which is of Saxon origin, its also famous for creating the Mosquito Aircraft.


and

Lord and Lady Salisbury are more then delighted to welcome you to their home, Hatfield House which is also Lara Crofts house in the film Tomb Raider. 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


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

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.

Hello

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 Dr you could make and run a website, forum, start a game MOD 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
