Tough Questions

  • How much will I get paid when I become an officer?

    You can expect to start on £24,615 - 30,368 depending on your level of education. Your food and accommodation will be heavily subsidised meaning more of your salary ends up in your pocket for you to decide how to spend it.

     
  • When are the officer intakes into Sandhurst?

    Officer intakes into the Royal Military College of Sandhurst are in January, May and September.

     
  • How do you turn students into officers?

    If you’re a student, you have a number of options. As a Year 11 student, you can apply for Welbeck, the residential sixth form college for potential officers hoping to join a technical corps. You could also apply for an Army Sixth Form Scholarship so that your parents or guardians receive financial support through your A Levels. If you plan to go to university, you could apply for an Army Bursary which will pay you a lump sum for each year of your studies.
