Our Mission
Aston Enterprise’s mission is to help curious students and graduates to explore, experiment & launch new ideas.
Being entrepreneurial doesn’t just mean starting up a business. It means being an opportunity spotter, a creative problem solver and a passionate doer. We have a number of events and programmes to help you develop these important skills, whether you’re looking to start up a business now or later in life, get a glimpse into self-employment, or have the biggest impact possible in your chosen career and the ever-changing world around you.
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.

Taking part in the Apollo programme has opened up the world of social enterprise for me as an option after my PhD.
