Back to School ...

Dear All,

Could you all bring your CVs (in English of course) with you for session 2 in December/January.

Do not worry - we will not be 'doing' CVs again but I would like you just to update them (i.e. adding in the extra stuff that you are doing this year and your placements from last year).

Anyway, it is always a good idea to get someone to have a look at your CV.

If you do not have a CV in English, don't worry I can give you a 'model' CV - not very exciting or aesthetically pleasing but at least it is understandable to the average English person.

Also, could you let me know - via the forum or an email - if you are interested in studying in the UK. I need to let my counterpart in the UK know when we want to see her. I assume that there would be a greater interest from those of you in the 3D option, but who knows.

Hope you are getting your satchels ready for school...

Hello Miss Arbon,

Can you tell us more about the studies you are telling about in the UK??
I am interested in such experience but I don't know if I can mix it with my own studies ambition. Next year, I would like to find a school that can teach me 3D more that this year (in fact, I would like to do only 3D to specialize myself).

Good evening...

Dear Mad,

The university that we have links with is Teesside University in the north of England - www.tees.ac.uk - it is known for their computer graphics / animation courses.

The students that go there enjoy and appreciate the university. But the best thing would be to get in contact with students who are actually there at the moment, to have a clear idea about what is on offer.

Someone in the year group is bound to have their MSN contact names otherwise I can try to get hold of them.

There are of course a lot of other universities that offer post-graduate Masters' courses in the UK. Have a look at this site: www.ucas.ac.uk - This site centralizes ALL the courses on offer in higher education in Great Britian. It makes things an awful lot easier for students looking!

Go to 'Course Search'
Click on '2007' then 'search' or 'subject search' - write in 3D or computer graphics or animation or choose a subject in the subject search.

Remember that you will be looking at post-garduate courses.

You then click on a course title that interests you and you can then go to the relevant university website.

If you are thinking of studying in the UK, it is often the financial side of things which is the biggest stumbling block - but there are ways and means. Teesside for instance has a lot of funding for post-graduate courses.

I hope this has answered you query a little.
