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 nursery provides a cosy home from home environment for children to grow and develop. The nursery is split across two levels, with the baby room downstairs with a large play area and a separate sleep room. The toddler room is located upstairs and has a range of resources. Older children enjoy a large and spacious barn where no two days are the same and there are plenty of activities for children to enjoy.
There are lots of opportunities for outdoor learning with daily trips to the local community field. Children also benefit from regular trips to the local care home, Hatfield Haven, and love meeting the residents.
