Welcome to the ENDC website which I hope you will find interesting. The Estonian National Defence College is an institution of applied higher education for national defence. Our mission is to train and educate regular officers for the Estonian Defence Forces and National Defence League, as well as for other military institutions. The ENDC has established in Estonia a national reputation for expertise in military research and development.

A challenging academic programme by the ENDC provides a balanced education in military and civilian subjects designed to provide a solid military foundation for officer-training, meeting the intellectual and mental requirements necessary for service as a military leader in the Army.  The academic staff members of the ENDC are supported by members of the academic community from leading universities throughout Estonia

In order to provide the Army with professional and well-trained officers, the ENDC has a highly modern training environment and living conditions. The ENDC guarantees that each graduate of the ENDC should have a post in accordance with his/her training and specialty.

The ENDC is located in the city centre of Tartu. Tartu is the educational capital of Estonia and the academic environment of the city also contributes to the development of broad-minded and accomplished military leaders.
