How competitive is the army medical bursary?

Tori C.

Regimental Medical Officer

Hello, I am afraid I can't give you an exact answer, but it is fairly competitive given the financial benefits you receive if you are successful. I would say, if you are not successful in applying for a bursary, do consider applying again when you finish university, you don't get the benefits financially, but it is still possible to join the Army as a direct entrant (starting after FY2) and I would still recommend this route. I hope that helps.
