National Defence College (Burmese: နိုင်ငံတော်ကာကွယ်ရေးတက္ကသိုလ်, 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.[2]
Since 1994, NDC has offered one-year courses for officers above the rank of colonel.[2] 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]
