Officer training
The most important task of the Swedish Defence University is to provide officer training at different levels. The Officer's Programme (OP) is our largest programme at the undergraduate level and the Joint Advanced Command and Staff Programme (HOP) is our largest programme at the advanced level.
The officer training programmes at the Swedish Defence University are academic programmes. The Officers' Programme leads to an Officer's Degree, which is a vocational qualification of a bachelor's degree. The Joint Advanced Command and Staff Programme leads to a Master's degree.
