£35,925 – £42,948 a year

Learn to Lead.

Be the one others turn to. Be responsible. Be trusted with the safety of the nation. Become a British Army Officer, and youll be doing something that really matters. Leading a team. Making a difference to the world.

It all starts at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Youll learn the skills you need to become an Officer from weapons handling to outdoor survival to what it takes to lead your team in a range of hostile situations, anywhere in the world.

Once youve commissioned, youll take charge of 30 soldiers. Then, youll begin the specialist training you need to be an expert in your chosen field, whether thats engineering, intelligence gathering, or piloting an Apache helicopter. Youll also take part in Adventurous Training around the world, from skiing in the Alps to white-water rafting in Colorado. All while youre earning a starting salary of around £42,948 (after training).

Youll also enjoy a wide range of benefits that come with Army life, from sports and state-of-the-art training facilities, to earning valuable professional qualifications.

What are we looking for?

You dont need a degree for many Officer roles, and specific entry requirements vary from role to role. What we look for in our Officer Cadets is leadership potential, a sense of purpose and the drive to do great things. With these qualities in place, we can give you the training you need to take your skills and abilities and shape them into something amazing, whether youre fresh out of school, are professionally qualified or already building a career.

From the moment you join the Army, youll be set on a clear path for promotion and progression, receiving all the support and opportunities you need to rise through our ranks and realise your potential.

Funded Degree

University isnt for everyone and most Officer roles dont require a degree. If youve got drive, determination and the will to make an impact, theres a place for you here.

If youre still interested in completing a degree, youve the opportunity to enrol on a funded BSc Leadership and Strategic Studies at the University of Reading through the Henley Business School. Your 44 weeks at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst will contribute towards a third of your degree, which you can then complete over the next three to six years.

Become a British Army Officer and youll receive:)

  • A starting salary of around £35,925 which will rise to around £42,948 upon completion of one year’s training
  • Subsidised accommodation and facilities, increasing your disposable income
  • Free medical and dental health cover
  • Opportunities to continually progress your career
  • Sponsorship to study for valuable civilian-recognised qualifications
  • Adventurous Training, and the chance to play your favourite sports or take up a new one

The rewards are exceptional, the challenge is incredible and theres no single bigger adventure in life. To make a difference to the world. To make something more of yourself.

You Belong Here.
