There certainly is product placement in the UK - see [1]. When watching these shows you'll see an opaque 'PP' logo flash up on the screen to let you know.
Ah, I had read they were going to bring it in, I just didn't think it had happened yet, I guess it's been longer than I remember since I've watched commercial TV.
And, somewhere within the depths of modern versions of Windows, there lay, dormant, an old-fashioned System font from 1990 — alongside some vintage software routines necessary to render it.
I mean it's hardly hidden in the depths of Windows - it's right there in every single font selection menu.
Thankfully there has been a movement to reduce the number of road signs in general - see the 'Reducing Sign Clutter' [1] advice released the the DfT in 2013.
Isn't the problem right there in the first sentence? - "Almost every university in England offers courses in computer science".
Obviously not all institutions offering a CS degree are equal & a quick look at a league table [1] shows that the 'Graduate Prospects' range from 100 (St Andrews) to 38 (Bolton).
Elsewhere in the thread someone mentions software apprenticeships and I think anyone thinking of enrolling on the CS course at Bolton might be better off doing an apprenticeship instead.
That's exactly right, and the article goes on to explain that. The scatter plot compares "UCAS Tariff" (A-level results etc) to unemployment.
I used to work with / mentor students who were somewhere in the middle to poor end of the scale. An apprenticeship is probably better, now that tuition fees are so high.
I assume that you mean any tube station within Zone 1 because otherwise this is just not true. For 1.5k you can rent a 2 bed flat in Zones 2-3 and get much more than this further away if you're willing to flatshare. I have a friend who shares a 4 bed in Morden and pays something like 650pcm all in.
That seems a bit high to me. I pay £650/month all-in for a room in a three-bed just around the corner from Stockwell station.
Granted, my room is small, and the only real common area is the kitchen. But the only thing I need in London is a bed and a shower, I'm spending most of my time not-at-the-flat. So it feels like the inflection point between location and price.
1) Forgot to add the zone but it's a room in zones 2 or 3.
2) Mind that I was searching for a room, so I haven't looked much into studios, but I haven't been able to find a studio for less than 1000£ for a short let.
Note that there are "studios" which are in fact shared with other people in the same house, so not really a studio.
They seem to focus their campus recruitment events (http://www.deloitte.co.uk/aem/student-events-calendar.cfm) heavily towards the Russell Group universities (Oxbridge, London, Durham etc.)
If they want a more diverse talent pool, why don't they hold more events further afield?
