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?

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

Many UK farmers and consumers have voiced their anger towards the roadblocks up North, which left the public furious, and queuing in four miles of tailbacks, when it is the retailers that need to be targeted.
The farmers have defended their actions claiming that industry organisations are letting them down and not keeping them informed, which is why they took such desperate measures.

But before you consider letting your Angus loose in Asda, just remember myself and everyone else in our capital are still pretty livid after having to walk the length of London and back during the tube strikes. Sympathy is the last thing on my mind.
