Hi there,

Thanks for your question.

You'll need to be between 17 years 9 months and 28 years 11 months to apply to become a regular officer. It will take upwards of 6 months from you submitting your application to starting your officer training at Sandhurst. The joining process can work around you and your circumstances - so apply as early as you can, provided you meet the eligibility criteria (which you can check here: https://apply.army.mod.uk/how-to-join/can-i-join)

You can then 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.

If you think you’re ready to apply you can open an account and start your application on line here: https://apply.army.mod.uk/login

I hope this answers your question.
