  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Design, Social Science, or a related field.

Requirements

  • Commit to human-centred methods and the discipline of listening before designing.

Craft

  • Synthesise research findings into clear insights, themes, and opportunity areas.
  • Create service design artefacts including personas, journey maps, service blueprints, and opportunity frameworks.
  • Support the design and facilitation of co-design and ideation workshops.

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.
