Officer Cadet is a rank held by military cadets during their training to become commissioned officers. In the United Kingdom, the rank is also used by members of University Royal Naval Units, University Officer Training Corps and University Air Squadron; however, these are not trainee officers with many not choosing a career in the armed forces.[1][2]
The term officer trainee is used interchangeably in some countries.

Many UOTC members do go on to join the UK Armed Forces, both full and part time, but the majority have no further contact with the forces after they graduate.
