We are seeking a Student Lifecycle Administrator
The Registry plays a pivotal role in central student administration, by dealing with students from the point of application through to graduation. The Registry is also responsible for organising performance examinations, managing marks and feedback, international student exchanges, advising on fee status and visa requirements, disbursing scholarships and bursaries, and completing data returns for organisations such as the Office for Students.
Your responsibilities will include:
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.
