Year three: Leadership in action
Some cadets choose to go forward for officer selection, either in the Regular Army or Army Reserve.

Adventurous training and social life
Concurrently with military training, many OTCs provide the opportunity to pursue sporting and adventurous hobbies. Sports such as skiing, mountain trekking, climbing, and sailing are actively encouraged. With access to the Army Reserve's resources for adventurous training, students are enabled to pursue their other hobbies alongside their degrees. Socially, the OTCs hold frequent parties and informal social events throughout the year which attracts local press coverage. Social events and cheap alcohol are a significant element of UOTCs' offer to students and a focus of their recruitment.

Inter-OTC competitions
The British Army runs several competitions throughout the academic year where the OTCs and the four Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme (DTUS) squadrons have a chance to compete against each other. One of these is the Queen's Challenge Cup, a sports competition.

Bans
In January 1972, at the height of the Troubles, a meeting of 1,500 students at University of Manchester banned the OTC from carrying out activities anywhere on the university campus.

In March 2008, a motion was passed during the University College London Union's annual general meeting to ban armed forces groups and societies such as the University Royal Naval Unit (URNU), Officers' Training Corps (OTC) and University Air Squadron (UAS) from operating within UCLU locations and events. Through a subsequent motion passed through the Union Council, the decisions made at the annual general meeting were ratified; however, the ban was subsequently overturned by a large majority in following year's AGM of 27 February 2009.

In April 2008 the University of Manchester tabled a proposal to ban military recruitment which also received press attention: however, this proposal ultimately failed.
