Wales is open, welcoming and ready to offer an exceptional educational experience to students from around the world. That is the message after the Welsh Government’s announcement of a further £500,000 to support the Global Wales programme into the next academic year.
The new funding will help ensure that the Study in Wales brand continues to promote awareness of Welsh institutions, supporting student recruitment and boosting the profile of Wales internationally.
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.

The establishment of Medr, Wales’s new Commission for Tertiary Education and Research, provides an exciting opportunity to set out a new vision for international education into the future. The new funding will provide additional time for discussion and planning as we transition to Medr taking on its responsibility to promote a Global Outlook to institutions.
