network engineer to intelligence analyst to
equine groom. Soldiers working towards an
apprenticeship are fully paid as a soldier;

DEGREES
The cost of university can seem daunting and
unaffordable for many young people, but did
you know that the Army offers many ways to
fund degree level qualifications?
There are two main ways the Army funds
degrees: financial awards for students at
university before they join the Army, and
funding university for serving personnel.
There are bursaries available for any UK
university undergraduate course, with higher
awards available for STEM, nursing and
medical degrees.
