We get a day off every week to study for the masters which is unlike other competitor programmes.

The qualification is fairly commercially minded and is therefore less applicable to my day to day role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are plenty of networking opportunities given through breakfasts, drinks and sporting events. There is a graduate football team which is run weekly.
