Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your question.
You can start your Army officer career at the age of 18 - you don't need to have a degree, just good A Levels (or equivalent). If you're keen to join the Army as an officer but you're still in education, you might be interested in applying for a scholarship or bursary, which will give you extra financial support while you study, before graduating and heading to Sandhurst for officer training.
To start with just fill in the online application to start the process of applying to become an Army Officer.
Once you've passed the initial selection and started at Sandhurst you'll learn military skills, while building on your leadership skills as well as making friendships that will last a lifetime.
After Sandhurst you’ll complete a Young Officers’ Course where you learn the specifics of your trade before heading to a unit. You'll then find yourself in a management role, with a team of soldiers working for you from the start. You'll combine your leadership skills with your subject knowledge to make sure that your team works efficiently and as well as they can.
Good luck with your application.
Katie
