Not to sure what you are trying to ask?

They can sponsor you throughout university so you are guaranteed a job afterwards and they will also provide you with a bursary (x amount a year).

You can go to the Defence Sixth Form (Wellbeck) or the Army Foundation College.

Once you have joined the army you will get more qualifications provided you complete courses.

Just to add to what Nero mentioned, you CAN get a degree whilst serving but you have to pay a percentage of the cost and do it in your own time. If I were in your shoes, I would personally follow the route of Army foundation college if you are serious about getting ahead. Best of luck mate
