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.

Our Vision

The realising of the vision for Higher Education in Somerset has started with UCS and the College becoming the first FE college to gain the consent of both the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) and its university partner, University of the West of England (UWE) to deliver nursing degrees. The College was also the first FE College to be invited and accepted into the Council of Deans of Health as an Associate Member and now sits alongside university healthcare faculties at the heart of policy and political debate. In addition, the College has become the Further Education representative on NHS England’s Southwest Region Nursing and Midwifery Supply Board, actively contributing to removing barriers to health careers. Most recently the College was awarding the Queens Anniversary Prize for the collaborative work with the NHS and UWE to create this groundbreaking approach. As well as nursing, UCS also has a key role in the delivery of Degree Apprenticeships across the Nuclear sector through the National College for Nuclear (NCfN), also in association with our university partner UWE. With several exciting direct entry and higher/degree apprenticeship pathways currently in development and pipelined for development in other allied health professions and other sectors, it truly is an exciting time to join our team at UCS.
