About education at the SNDC

The National Defence College runs courses in all military-academic disciplines including War Studies, Strategy, Military Technology and Military History. In recent years we have also developed a range of courses for civilian students.

The College has overall responsibility for the education and training of senior officers in the Swedish Armed Forces, but, as mentioned above, we provide education and training for an increasing number of civilian students. The College is also responsible for the initial training of junior officers in the Armed Forces (The Officers Programme).

We collaborate with a large number of authorities, companies, universities and colleges both in Sweden and abroad. The education and training offered by the College is primarily aimed at military officers and civilians working in the defence sector. However, we also have courses open to civilian students.
