Joshua I. asked a question to Samuel L.
Hello, My name is Joshua ISHIMWE, am 17 years old and I am a citizen of Rwanda. I am currently in senior six at Groupe Scolaire Officiel de Butare and I will finish high school in August this year(2024). I have always wanted to attend the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the U.K for training. I was hoping you could kindly help me please. I have been participating in many British programs in Rwanda like the Commonwealth Debate Championship which took place in Green Hills Academy( the certificate i got is attached) and many other programs you have been organizing in Rwanda. I am also very good in ICT(the certificate is also attached). I plan to became a great political and military officer in future. I think starting from the RMAS would be a very nice beginning of my career. I look forward to hearing from you. May God bless you, Thank you, yours sincerely
Hello Josh, there is some more information on how your nationality will affect eligibility to apply here:

I'm afraid that you won't be able to apply directly to Sandhurst currently unless you have British Citizenship. Another route open to you may be to join the Rwandan army and then request a placement in Sandhurst as an overseas cadet.
Hope that helps, please let us know if you would like more information.
