About the Organisation
The End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW) is a group of feminist organisations and experts from across the UK, working to end violence against women and girls in all its forms. We believe that violence against women is not inevitable, and since 2005 we've been working to tear up the systems that enable it – and build a fairer world in its place. We drive social change through campaigning and shaping policy, and by challenging the wider cultural attitudes that tolerate and normalise this abuse. And we're proud of our sustained impact, convening a wide range of specialist women’s support services, researchers, activists, survivors and NGOs to transform the political and social systems that enable violence against women.
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 Opportunity
