About The British Army

Purpose: The British Army aims to make the world safer and better. By joining, you become part of a team dedicated to preventing terrorism and providing humanitarian aid. Officers lead and support their teams in critical situations.

Leadership: Becoming a British Army Officer offers a unique alternative to a typical nine-to-five job. Officers lead from the front, prioritise their teams, and tackle pressing challenges both in the UK and globally. They make split-second decisions in critical situations, often under demanding conditions, and lead some of the best soldiers in the world. The ultimate reward is the purpose-driven mission to make the world a safer, better place.

Roles: Officers lead from the front in various roles, including combat, support, and headquarters positions. Whether you have a degree or not, there's an opportunity for you here.

The Army provides training and financial support packages, bursaries, and scholarships to selected officer candidates during further and higher education.

Opportunities:

Leadership Training: Provided at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, focusing on discipline, strategic thinking, and decision-making.

Adventurous Training: Activities like skiing in the Alps, mountain climbing in the Himalayas, or white-water kayaking in Norway to build resilience, teamwork, and leadership skills.

Sports and Fitness: Access to state-of-the-art gyms, fitness classes, and a wide range of sports teams.
