The University of London Contingent of the Officer's Training Corps is administered by the Military Education Committee. The OTC was created in 1909 by R B Haldane as part of the army reforms he effected as Secretary of State for War.
The role of the OTC is to train undergraduates for commissioned service in the regular army, the Territorial Army and Combined Cadet Force. The Corps is an integral part of the Territorial Army.
The Contingent is organised into sub units of the following armed services: Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Royal Signals, Infantry, Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Intelligence Corp and Women's Royal Army Corp.
