Not too much, the degree was more commercial based with no rural modules. I can not think of a specific instance where I have utilised knowledge gained in my degree, in my job. We should have the option to do a rural masters.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes, lots of socialising and professional networking both within Savills and further afield
