    Hi Michael,


    Both are absolutely ok to complete together. In fact you can attend Uni and have the Army pay your bursaries whilst also giving you a full time wage if you were to consider Full time Army. Worth a look as you could save yourself alot of potential financial heartache, as we know, nothing is cheap anymore.

    Hi Michael.


    Thank you for the response I appreciate it. Would you happen to know how it would work? I have seen UOTC but that’s about it. I was considering either Infantry ( Royal Anglians to be specific. ) or Physiotherapy Officer but that degree is a pretty important thing for me personally.

    If I'm being Completely honest I'm not as clued up with Officers as much as i am Soldiers. Speaking from a Regular Officer perspective i believe the ability to chose your Capbadge is more restricted then that of a Soldier. What i mean by that is that dependent on how a Regular Officer preformed at Sandhurst would determine which Corps they would be assigned to.


    One thing i can say for sure is that Physios within the Army are a niche role that i know we require more of, equally hold in high regard. So UOTC could make sense in joining to utilise your skillset.


    Hopefully an Officer on this platform may see this and be able to elaborate in greater detail.
