The Swedish Defence University is Sweden’s leading resource in, and the first choice for, education, training, and research in the management of the crisis, war, and periods of tension in the leadership of both civil and military agencies. The Swedish Defence University is an accredited institution for academic education for military and civilian students and researchers where different experiences, approaches, and traditions come together.
The Swedish Defence University is divided into four academic departments:
- The Department of Leadership and Command & Control
- The Department of Political Science and Law
- The Department of Systems Science for Defence and Security
- The Department of War Studies and Military History
Their task is to contribute towards national and international security through research and development. Research is carried out in diverse but interrelated subject areas and is subsequently disseminated to other interested sectors of society, both nationally and internationally. Changing circumstances have made them a meeting place for the civilian and the military, the national and the international, history and future. For this reason, the University’s areas of expertise are continuously developing.
The students often have long and varied professional experience from the military and civilian sectors. This is a valuable asset; learning is based to a large extent on the exchange of knowledge and experiences between students and tutors, but the exchange between the students themselves is also a very important part of the learning process.
