We learn few of the basics of computing in our course that we can use when doing projects at work but I tend to learn more from work than university
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

We can join any of the societies at university as well as at work- there are a wide range of them however university societies can sometimes clash with work days so it depends on if it works with your schedule
