Hi all,

I am completing an application and there are two questions (below) which I personally think are asking the same question.

1. Please detail any extra-curricular activities such as societies, clubs or charity work and hobbies (150 words)

2. Briefly tell us what you do when not working and/or studying (150 words)

Can someone please advise?

Many thanks!

there is a bit of an overlap but to me:

1) Things that take effort/time commitment/dedication

2) your interests - the things you do for fun rather than for purpose

it is a bit of grey area though and you could put some things in both sections. Just don’t repeat anything.
