Editing Military academy (section)

===Undergraduate service===
Although an undergraduate degree is not a prerequisite for officer training, the majority of potential officers will have attended university before joining the Armed Forces. At some universities there may be the option for people to join either a [[University Royal Naval Unit]], a [[Officers' Training Corps|University Officer Training Corps (UOTC)]] or a [[University Air Squadron]], which are designed to introduce students to life in the Forces and show them the careers that are available as well as allowing them to undertake reserve training alongside their degree.<ref>{{Cite web |title=University Officers' Training Corps {{!}} The British Army |url=https://www.army.mod.uk/learn-and-explore/about-the-army/corps-regiments-and-units/university-officers-training-corps/ |access-date=2025-02-11 |website=www.army.mod.uk |language=en-GB}}</ref> People sponsored under the [[Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme]] will join one of the four Support Units attached to universities participating in DTUS. There is a requirement for bursars of DTUS to join the military for three years after completion of their degree, there no requirement for students of any other organisation to join the military after they finish their degree programs. Although service with these organisations may give some initial benefit to officer cadets attending the military colleges/academies, the next stage of the officer training programs assumes no prior military experience/knowledge, and those that did not partake in military activities at university are not disadvantaged.
