The Royal Danish Defence College is the Danish armed forces´ powerhouse for education, training and research-generated consultancy. The College offers a wide variety of courses and consultancy activities that cannot be found elsewhere in Denmark. Most of our activities are aimed at the commands and institutions of the Danish armed forces in order to enhance the ability of the Danish armed forces to carry out international and national missions. However a few of our courses are also offered to civilians.

Today the college comprises the headquarters and three faculties.

The motto of the Royal Danish Defence College is "Sapientia et Providentia", meaning "Knowledge and Foresight".

Democratic principles
The activities of the Royal Danish Defence College are based on modern democratic principles. Through the training and education we strive to develop "whole men and women" who can serve as soldiers, diplomats and managers in order to meet the challenges facing the Danish armed forces today.
Therefore, we require excellence, professionalism, commitment and personal development of our staff as well as of our students.
