Graduate Careers

The Army needs officers and soldiers who are professionally qualified. That’s why we offer a number of schemes to help you complete your studies and training before you join the Army. We also provide advantages few other graduate careers can match such as unique opportunities to utilise and further develop your skills once you join.

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Life in the Army will challenge you in many different ways. Whether you’re leading soldiers on operations or learning and utilising new skills, you’ll have all the training and support needed to succeed before you’ll be asked to put everything you’ve learned into action in your unit. You might also have the chance to take part in trips and expeditions all over the world.

REAP THE REWARDS

All jobs in the Army offer competitive rates of pay. Serve full time as a Regular, and you’ll also get a pension and 38 days of paid annual leave as well as subsidised accommodation, food and travel. But an Army job can be rewarding in a wider sense. You’re a valued part of a team, and your ability can make a real difference to its success. You’ll play an active part in events that other people only read about.

EXTEND YOUR EDUCATION

Learning and personal development don’t have to end with graduation. In the Army you’ll keep learning throughout your career. As you get more skilled at your job, you’ll go on courses to prepare you for promotion and develop your leadership skills. And there are plenty of opportunities to study for more qualifications, right up to Masters degree level, either paid for or subsidised by the Army.

LEARNING TO LEAD

Most graduates wait years to get the kind of practical experience that you’ll get in the Army. After training you start using your leadership skills from day one. As you move up the promotion ladder you take responsibility for leading larger teams of soldiers, directing their work and training to make sure they get the job done. Whether you join as a soldier or officer, there’s nowhere better to become a leader.

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

As your Army career continues you’ll be able to gain promotions, skills and qualifications. When you eventually return to civilian life you’ll find plenty of civilian employers who value what you have achieved in the Army. Whether you see an Army career as a long-term option or a stepping stone, your time in the Army will always be useful and relevant.
