Social and Military Sciences

"During my last three years at the RMA, physical training taught me to push my physical limits. As a result, I was able to progressively improve my endurance, strength, swimming, and combat sports. Furthermore, at the RMA, we practice sports together (in promotion or in specialized groups according to the discipline). This fosters and deepens friendships and cohesion! Incorporating sports into daily life helps to unwind and maintain good mental health."

Léna, 1st master, student in Social and Military Sciences

"What I particularly enjoy about the training is the military aspect. I have learned a lot about living in a community and teamwork, which is essential for a future officer to understand different personalities well. Being often under pressure, I have also learned to manage my time and stress effectively. The various activities during our military training are also really interesting: reading maps, shooting with a weapon, conducting patrols... This adventurous side of the training is something you won't find anywhere else."

Luca, 1st master, student in Social and Military Sciences

"The RMA has brought me a great deal. The first is discipline and military values. Because of this, I’ve been able to reflect on the officer I wish to become and work towards that goal. The second, undoubtedly the most important in my eyes, is the comrades I have made. Far beyond mere colleagues, they are now my friends. I can always rely on them, and they can always count on me for a helping hand during the tougher moments of our training, both on the field and with some complex academic concepts!"

Baptiste, 3rd bachelor, student in Social and Military Sciences

"What makes studying at the RMA so special is the importance of its four pillars: academic, sports, military, and character development. These require discipline and rigor, as the demands beyond academic success necessitate time and commitment. These studies, both in SSMW (Social and Military Sciences) and in Polytechnic subjects, allow students to thrive in an unconventional environment with very well-suited facilities. In comparison to civilian studies, communication and rapport with the faculty are essential, as we are in regular contact with them for various reasons, and they are very approachable. Ultimately, the RMA offers numerous benefits, both from a financial perspective and through unique experiences."

Thomas, 3rd bachelor, student in Social and Military Sciences

"The RMA is much more than just an academy: it’s a unique life experience that shapes us both personally and professionally. In addition to a solid academic foundation, we learn to push ourselves physically and mentally through constant challenges. The support among comrades is truly strong and plays a crucial role in our progression. Whether on the field during military exercises or in our studies, this solidarity helps us overcome the most difficult moments."

Louis, 3rd bachelor, student in Social and Military Sciences

"What I appreciate most about the RMA is the wide variety of activities on offer. Between theoretical lessons, intensive sports training, and numerous military exercises, there’s never a dull moment. This allows us to develop not only diverse skills but also a sense of teamwork and discipline that, in my view, will serve us throughout our careers. The facilities are very well suited, and the interaction with the faculty is always enriching, making the experience even more stimulating."
