Edinburgh UOTC

Edinburgh University Officer Training Corps

The City of Edinburgh Universities Officer Training Corps (CEUOTC) provides enjoyable, stimulating and challenging training to undergraduates at Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt and Napier universities who volunteer to serve as Officer Cadets.

It provides this training in order to communicate the values, ethos and career opportunities of the British Army.

We are not a recruitment agency. Membership is voluntary and there is no obligation to join either the Regular or Territorial Army (TA) on graduation. However, we do provide assistance and encouragement for those who wish to become an officer in the Regular Forces or the TA.

The OTC provides all members with the opportunity to develop leadership skills and management techniques within a friendly, fun environment. As well as learning about the Army, you will learn things about yourself and dealing with others which you will not have imagined. You will gain much from your time with us, as will your CV and bank account!

We train for two hours on a Wednesday night and two weekends a month, but you can do as little or as much as you wish.

If you are interested in joining the Officer Training Corps while studying in Edinburgh then please go to the relevant link. There you will find information about us and be able to read profiles of current Officer Cadets.

Selection and Training starts in September.
