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 PMM Department
The PMM Department Comprises 13 Full-time Faculty Members Specialising In Performance Measurement And Management Across Organisations And Society. Our Research Adopts Organisational And Sociological Perspectives To Critically Examine Management Control Practices Across Private, Public, And Alternative Organisational Settings (e.g., NGOs, Cooperatives). We Embrace Methodological Pluralism And Focus On Topics Such As:
- Performance measurement across financial, operational, sustainability, and social dimensions,
- Management control systems (e.g., KPIs, incentives, dashboards) and supporting digital technologies (e.g., AI, ERPs),
- The societal and organisational implications of performance quantification.
Teaching approaches that are case-based, research-based and project-based are highly valued, as they encourage reflexivity. We teach management accounting and control tools, as well as the ability to critically reflect on them (question their design, use, and effects). Since the notion of ‘best practices’ can itself be questioned, we aim to open the black box of performance measures to reveal their inner workings, underlying assumptions, biases and potential implications. We believe that this approach is important for generating more sustainable management practices.
