Top 5 Universities in the South West 2016

1. Arts University Bournemouth

Only its 3rd appearance in the Complete University Guide league tables but Arts University Bournemouth looks like 1 to watch – from 9th in the region in 2014 to the coveted South West top 5 in 2016. The university's research output is an area they've clearly been working on, almost doubling in score compared last year's table.

As the name suggests particular subject strengths at this university include the creative arts and design.


2. Bournemouth University

The town of Bournemouth is having a good year university wise, its 2 institutions have made the South West's top 5, and that's 2 more than last year's league table release. Bournemouth University provides students with high return on investment, scoring highly for Academic Services Spend and Facilities Spend.

Bournemouth has particular teaching strengths in media industries, in fact its Skillset Media Academy is the largest centre for higher education in the industy in the UK.


3. University of Bristol

The top 3 universities in the South West have remained unchanged ever since we first began publising university league tables online. One could argue therefore that Bristol is simply in another league when it comes to universities in the South West, plus it has the added prestige of being in our overall top 20 – climbing 3 places to 15th. With Bristol in the top 10 of 25 of our subject tables, this university is truly a jack of all trades, add to this its student’s outstanding Graduate Prospects and you’re on to a winner.


4. University of Bath

A relatively young university, having received its Royal Charter in 1966, the University of Bath’s reputation has gone from strength to strength. Bath is not only highly regarded at home, it can also hold its own within the global university scene having recently placed within the top 50 of the Times Higher Education ‘young’ university world rankings.

If you’re technically minded Bath should definitely make it into your shortlist what with it having major academic strengths in engineering, the physical sciences, mathematics and technology.


5. University of Exeter

Exeter has become a well established Complete University Guide high flyer in recent years, even managing to make it into the nation’s top 10 three years in a row. Exeter’s rise to prominence has been spearheaded by its rapidly increasing Graduate Prospects and Entry Standards, now at 79.4% and 463 respectively.

Seeing as it is located in the South West, attending university here almost guarantees you’ll get the lion’s share of the small amount of good weather that England receives.

Top 10 UK Universities 2016

1.Lancaster University

After a brief 2 year hiatus Lancaster University is back in the UK's top 10. The university has been working and spending towards a better all-round experience for its students with its return to the top 10 attributable to increased Facilities Spend and Academic Services Spend - the uni spends £1,565 per student on academic services such as the library and computing, and £778 per student on supporting services such as sports facilities.

For a top quality campus-based university experience, and quick access to the great outdoors (the Lake District is on Lancaster's doorstep) Lancaster University might be the one.

4.. University of Oxford


Poor old Oxford, placing behind its adversary in the Complete University Guide league table seems to be becoming something of a habit. Let’s be fair though, 2nd place isn’t to be sniffed at and Oxford won this year’s boat race, in both the women's and the men's races – have that Cambridge! Oxford’s reputation is largely based on its academic prowess with it having developed some of the greatest minds of our time such as Stephen Hawking – and of course, the infallible Boris Johnson.

5. University of Cambridge

Cambridge pip Oxford to the post for the 5th year running. That’s 5 years in a row at the top of the Complete University Guide’s university league tables, an impressive feat to say the least.

World renowned for its excellence in teaching and research, and with rigorous entry standards, Cambridge looks set to rule the UK university scene for some time. This is the place to be if you hope to 1 day stand on the shoulders of giants such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.

The Obvious Road to Riches That Eludes Us All

The road to riches is honestly pretty simple. Deep down we all know the secret to becoming wealthy, but our busy lives have a way of masking the truth from many of us. Our jobs, the bills, our children, our parents, our grandparents, recreation, and even formal education: all of these things are distracting us from the blatantly obvious answers for our financial shortcomings.
Emotional Immaturity

I was recently reminiscing about my young high school days with a friend as we watched her daughter compete in a tennis tournament. While watching the tournament, I realized that many of the young players were taught to reserve their emotions and play as mature competitors. I, however, was quite the opposite when I was a teenager. In fact, when I played I always brought two rackets. One for playing and one for throwing.
Within each match, I would inevitably start making unforced errors: hitting the ball into the net, pulling the ball wide of the lines, or maybe even hitting long. When nothing was going right, I simply got pissed off, would then run to the side of the net where my old racket was placed, and would throw it as hard as I could into the fence (I chose the fence because that would make a louder sound than the net, and would therefore relieve more of my anger). Why anyone would even play with me I have no idea. I was extremely immature.

If you think about it, many people are emotionally immature even as adults. Sure, you might not see them throwing their tennis rackets a country mile, but they often make poor financial decisions due to their financial immaturity. They likely know the road to riches, but instead they seem to medicate their sadness with stupid purchases. If they are having difficulty in their marriage, they might just head to the store and buy something nice for themselves. If they have a rough day at work, perhaps they self-medicate their woes with a brand new car.

Sometimes the financial decisions don’t even stem from a certain event. Actions might take place because of how money was presented during childhood. If your parents never had money and always said that wealthy people were greedy jerks, then you will likely never hang onto the money that you earn. Either you’ll spend it on stuff or you’ll just give it away – all because of what your parents instilled in you when you were a kid. I bet this sounds ridiculous, but it is absolutely true. I have seen it time and time again. Just like I used to throw my tennis racket out of emotional immaturity, so too do people throw away their money due to financial immaturity.

In order to grow wealthy and get on the road to riches, we must first discover how to take the correct financial actions.

How to Get on the Road to Riches

Here is where the obvious instruction begins. The road to riches is not a mind-boggling secret. It is simple, logical, and works every time. Have you ever heard the phrase, “Garbage in, garbage out”? I first heard this phrase when I was an aspiring young computer programmer. If I was trying to code a robot to turn left, but was repeatedly telling it to go right within my code, which way do you think it would turn? Obviously, it would turn right because that is what my code was telling it to do. My code was absolute garbage, and so too was the result.

The road to riches has the exact same philosophy. If you are continually taking in garbage, your financial output will also be garbage.
. In other words, if after work each day you are listening to people that say only the lucky become wealthy, then that is what you will ultimately believe. You’ll blame your poverty on the government, corporations, or the economy, but ultimately the main issue is your input. Garbage in, garbage out.

So what is the map for the road to riches? Let’s have a look:

Programming –> Thoughts –> Feelings –> Actions –> Results

Your programming leads to your thoughts, which leads to your feelings, then your actions, and finally your results.

So what impacts you

How to Find an Excellent Lawyer | Nolo.com

If your legal problem is complex or involves lots of money, you might not want to attempt to handle the entire matter without a lawyer. After all, lawyers do more than dispense legal information. They offer strategic advice and apply sophisticated technical skills to legal problems. Ideally, you'll be able to find a lawyer who's willing to serve as your legal "coach" to help you educate yourself to the maximum extent possible and to take over as your formal legal counsel only if necessary.

How to Find the Right Lawyer

Locating a good lawyer who can efficiently help with your particular problem may not be easy. Don't expect to locate a good lawyer by simply looking in the phone book or reading an advertisement. There's not enough information in these sources to help you make a valid judgment.

Personal Referrals

A better approach is to talk to people in your community who have experienced the same problem you face -- for example, if you have a claim of sexual harassment, talk to a women's group. Ask them who their lawyers were and what they think of them. If you talk to half a dozen people who have had a similar legal problem, chances are you'll come away with several good leads.

But don't make a decision about a lawyer solely on the basis of someone else's recommendation. Different people will have different responses to a lawyer's style and personality; don't make up your mind about hiring a lawyer until you've met the lawyer, discussed your case, and decided that you feel comfortable working with him or her.

Also, it may be hard to find lawyer through a personal referral with the expertise you need (for instance, if your friend had a great divorce lawyer, but you need incorporation advice, the referral may not do you much good).

Online Services

Many sites, including Nolo.com, offer a way to connect with local lawyers based on your location and the type of legal case you have. You answer a few questions about your case and your contact information, then the right type of lawyers contact you directly.Talk to a local lawyer.

Nolo's Lawyer Directory

Nolo offers a unique lawyer directory that provides a comprehensive profile for each attorney with information that will help you select the right attorney. The profiles tell you about the lawyer's experience, education, and fees, and perhaps most importantly, the lawyer's general philosophy of practicing law. Nolo has confirmed that every listed attorney has a valid license and is in good standing with their bar association. 

Business Referrals

Businesses who provide services to key players in the legal area you are interested in may also be able to help you identify lawyers you should consider. For example, if you are interested in small business law, speak to your banker, accountant, insurance agent, and real estate broker. These people come into frequent contact with lawyers who represent business clients and are in a position to make informed judgments.

Lawyer Referral Services

Lawyer referral services are another source of information. There is a wide variation in the quality of lawyer referral services, however, even though they are required to be approved by the state bar association. Some lawyer referral services carefully screen attorneys and list only those attorneys with particular qualifications and a certain amount of past experience, while other services will list any attorney in good standing with the state bar who maintains liability insurance. Before you choose a lawyer referral service, ask what its qualifications are for including an attorney and how carefully lawyers are screened.

What you may not get from any lawyer referral service, however, is insight into the lawyer's philosophy -- for instance, whether the lawyer is willing to spend a few hours to be your legal coach or how aggressive the lawyer's personality is.

Other Sources

Here are a few other sources you can turn to for possible candidates in your search for a lawyer:

• The director of your state or local chamber of commerce may be a good source of business lawyers.
• The director of a nonprofit group interested in the subject matter that underlies your lawsuit is sure to know lawyers who work in that area. For example, if your dispute involves trying to stop a major new subdivision, it would make sense to consult an environmental group committed to fighting urban sprawl.
• A law librarian can help identify authors in your state who have written books or articles on a particular subject -- for example, construction law.
• A women's or men's support group will probably have a list of well-regarded family and divorce lawyers.

Consider a Specialist

Most lawyers specialize in certain areas, and even a so-called "general practitioner" may not know that much about the particular area of your concern. For example, of the almost one million lawyers in America today, probably fewer than 50,000 possess sufficient training and experience in small business law to be of real help to an aspiring entrepreneur.

It can pay to work with a lawyer who already knows the field, such as employment discrimination, zoning laws, software design issues, or restaurant licensing. That way you can take advantage of the fact that the lawyer is already far up the learning curve. Sometimes specialists charge a little more, but if their specialized information is truly valuable, it can be money well spent.

Interview the Prospective Lawyers

When you get the names of several good prospects, the next step is to talk to each personally. If you outline your needs in advance, many lawyers will be willing to meet to you for a half-hour or so at no charge so that you can size them up and make an informed decision.

Personality

Pay particular attention to the personal chemistry between you and your lawyer. No matter how experienced and well-recommended a lawyer is, if you feel uncomfortable with that person during your first meeting or two, you may never achieve an ideal lawyer-client relationship. Trust your instincts and seek a lawyer whose personality is compatible with your own. Look also for experience, personal rapport, and accessibility.

Communication and Promptness

Ask all prospective lawyers how you will be able to contact them and how long it will take them to return your communications. And don't assume that because the lawyer seems friendly and easy to talk to that it's okay to overlook this step.

Unfortunately, the complaint logs of all lawyer regulatory groups indicate that many lawyers are terrible communicators. If every time you have a problem there's a delay of several days before you can talk to your lawyer on the phone or get an appointment, you'll lose precious time, not to mention sleep.

Almost nothing is more aggravating to a client than to leave a legal project in a lawyer's hands and then have weeks or even months go by without anything happening. You want a lawyer who will work hard on your behalf and follow through promptly on all assignments.

Willingness to Work With You

When you have a legal problem, you need legal information. Lawyers, of course, are prime sources of this information, but if you bought all the needed information at their rates -- $150 to $450 an hour -- you'd quickly empty your bank account. Fortunately, many lawyers will work with you to help you acquire a good working knowledge of the legal principles and procedures you need to deal with your problem at least partly on your own.

If you are hoping to represent yourself and use a lawyer only for advice, make sure the lawyer is open to that type of set-up. Likewise, if you're going into business and will draft your own bylaws or business agreements, ask the lawyer if she's open to reviewing your drafts and making comments.
