Role Summary

We are seeking an Academic Research Mentor to support a student in developing an independent engineering research project and producing a well-structured article suitable for journal submission. Working within our Academic Writing and Research Programme, the mentor will collaborate with the programme manager and writing coach. Success means helping the student complete a rigorous paper while developing lasting research and academic-writing skills.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
