Army Officer Internship

Start the adventure of a lifetime.

Ready to learn how to overcome physical and mental challenges? And develop leadership qualities and management skills? Join us as an Officer Intern. You’ll have unique, exceptional leadership training and experiences, as well as an unrivalled insight into the life of an Army Officer. You’ll have the same world-class leadership training at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as our Officers and then further training afterwards, depending on your role.

After training, you’ll spend 6 to 18 months attached to a regular Army unit, shadowing the daily role of an Army Officer, learning to lead a team of up to 30 soldiers. You can take up an internship before, during or after you go to University. You’ll be paid throughout and take part in sports, Adventurous Training and military training exercises but you will not deploy on operations.

During your Internship you’ll earn around £18,555.

To qualify, you must have a firm place to read a first degree at a University/College or have graduated within the last 2 years. You must also be aged between 17 years 10 months and 28 years old by mid- September of the year you will start training at Sandhurst and hold or be predicted to gain 72 UCAS points (or equivalent) and have 35 ALIS points, including a C/4 or above in English language, maths and a science or foreign language.
