As you may be aware, undergraduate study at ADFA is only open to members of the services. But you do not need to be in the services to undertake postgraduate study at ADFA, and in fact the large majority of our postgraduate students (and our staff) are civilians.
In many ways, the college is a typical academic institution transplanted into a military environment. Of course, if you are completely unsympathetic to the military way of life, it is probably not the place for you. For most of our postgraduate students, the military aspects of the academy have few impacts on their lives, and these are more likely to be positive (superb sporting facilities, for example) than negative.
