Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Carrabino" data-source="post: 113315" data-attributes="member: 16764">Hi [USER=22287]@intrigueee[/USER] it is excellent to hear from you!I would not worry too much about continuing your extra-curriculars during a one-year master's programme, as long as you have significant extra-curriculars to point to from your previous education. I am not sure that many students self-funding the GDL, for example, would have the opportunity to keep up all the extra-curriculars they did at uni.At the same time, if you worry that you do not have enough extra-curriculars on your CV then this could be your opportunity to explore more! Ultimately, firms are not looking for you to be consistently ticking the extra-curriculars box as much as they are looking for a candidate who has a wide range of interests and has shown significant commitment to an activity out of passion for the activity, as opposed to it being something that they have to do! It does not really matter whether this was during your undergraduate degree or at a later stage.To answer your second question, I know for a fact that a lot of large corporate firms definitely allow this, but as you say it is up to the firm's discretion and I am sure that for one reason or another some firms may not always allow this.I hope this all helps <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
