The Communications Executive is part of a college team delivering a shared UAL communications and engagement plan that achieves outcomes such as attracting students to study with us, embedding social purpose across the University and improving staff and student experience.

The post holder will support the delivery of internal messages, ensuring messaging is consistent across all channels, but will identify opportunities for external stories which are created in collaboration with staff focusing on different audience groups.
This role is part of an integrated structure to enable an audience-first approach, with teams working together on projects to maximise the audience benefit and understanding of strategic messaging.
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.
