There are lots of different ways to become an officer in the Navy and not all jobs require tertiary education - so you're likely to find one that matches your level of education and experience.
Direct Entry is the fast track route to becoming an officer in the Navy and you don't need a university degree, or previous military experience, to qualify. You'll receive the same training and benefits as other officers, as well as the chance to be a leader in your workplace and make a genuine difference to people's lives. If you want to work for industry leaders and choose from a fantastic range of jobs, join the Navy as a Direct Entry Officer.
If you're a graduate in medicine, engineering, teaching, nursing or dentistry, enrolling in the Navy as a Graduate Officer is a unique and rewarding way to kick-start your career because your skills and knowledge are tested from day one. You'll work with cutting-edge equipment, lead others and make important decisions right from the start. You'll also receive any extra training you need to help further your qualifications. Learn More

Some of the finest teaching in the country might help you to pursue a recognised Graduate Diploma, Masters or Doctoral degree. And just like other university campuses, there's plenty of opportunity to join sporting teams or social clubs and to enjoy the outstanding range of facilities. Learn More
