National Defence College (abbreviated NDC) is a military academy in Myanmar's national capital of Naypyidaw. Opened in 1958, NDC was one of several training facilities opened in the mid-to-late 1950s, the most well known among them being the Defence Services Academy.[1] [2] NDC provides post-graduate master's degrees in defence studies to military officers.
Since 1994, NDC has offered one-year courses for officers above the rank of colonel. In 2016, nearly all military MPs appointed to the Amyotha Hluttaw and the Pyithu Hluttaw had nearly all completed master's degrees at NDC.[3]
In April 2023, Zaw Min Latt, the commandant of DSA, became NDC's commandant, replacing Kyaw Shwe Tun.[4]
