About Us
Edinburgh Universities Officers' Training Corps (CEUOTC) is a Territorial Army unit which provides selected university students with an insight into the career opportunities in the British Army.

Role
The role of the OTC is to develop leadership potential of selected university students, raising awareness of the Army’s ethos and building interest in its career opportunities; in order to secure their commitment, whether as officers or as future leaders in their chosen profession, to champion the Army in Society.
