The Student Insight Team
The Student Insight Team primarily exists to assist the Quality Enhancement Directorate with work that requires student involvement, or which would significantly benefit from having students involved. This role exists on an as-needed basis, and can fit around your studies - you can opt into the tasks you have time to take on.
You Could Contribute By
- Taking part in quality assurance processes, like reading documentation about, and then reviewing, Cardiff Met’s degree programmes and ensuring they’re fit for purpose.
- Hosting focus groups or gathering student feedback in other ways.
- Helping analyse student feedback to find themes and interesting data.
- Helping with creative endeavours, such as designing posters or flyers, or taking photographs at events.
- Assisting with any number of other tasks that might arise, from speaking at events or re-organising digital files or other ‘one-off’ jobs that may arise.
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.
