Birnam Arts Residency
Birnam Arts now offers self-funded residencies for artists seeking time, space and focus within a quiet, light-filled, flexible workspace, ideal for research, experimentation and making.
Set within the village of Birnam, Highland Perthshire, on the edge of the River Tay and its surrounding woodlands, Birnam Arts is a place where contemporary creative practice sits in dialogue with landscape, community and culture. These new residencies in the Visual Arts Studio are self-directed and self-funded, allowing artists to shape their time according to the needs of their practice.
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.
