We are looking for a Student Adviser to join our Advice team, helping students navigate challenges and make the most of their time at UAL.
You’ll offer one-to-one and group advice on a range of academic (including appeals, academic misconduct, complaints and extenuating circumstances) and housing issues, signposting students to other useful services when needed. Sometimes you’ll act as an advocate for students in university meetings or help them put together a strong case to get the outcome they’re hoping for. You’ll also play a big role in ensuring our AQS accredited service is a centre for excellence, conducting student outreach activities, creating engaging informational resources and representing student interest in key university committees.
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.
