What can I do on a gap year/in medical school to improve my Army bursary application?

Tori C.

Regimental Medical Officer

Hello,

Tricky question!

There is no one thing that the Army is looking for, but they will be looking at you as a person, and part of that may be working out whether you are a good fit for the Army.

My advice would be to have a look at your CV and have a read of the following information, and see if you can try and do things that demonstrate you have the values the army is looking for https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/our-people/a-soldiers-values-and-standards/

But otherwise, I would just try and show you are a proactive and well rounded person with a variety of interests/achievements.
