Future career opportunities
To study at the Swedish Defence University is an excellent way of reaching your dream job in the security, defence and crisis management fields.
Our students continue with work in both national and international defence and security organisations. You will find our former students as crisis management experts at municipal and regional levels, as advisors in ministries and governments agencies, as private sector analysts in cyber security, as advisors in international humanitarian organisations, and with and without uniform in the armed forces.
We regularly gather insights from former students about their experiences of their education and how things have gone for them after graduation.
