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.

In the subsequent year Event Interns will have the opportunity to join the pool of Galleries Creative Freelance workshop providers to deliver wellbeing / creative events for students.
Some events will take place weekdays between 17:00 and 20:00 or Saturdays afternoons so engagers would need to have the flexibility to be available for some sessions at these times. Other events might take place during Gallery opening hours: Tues – Saturday 10 am – 5 pm.
