Foundational Courses
The core of the academic program at CHDS consists of one-, two- and three-week courses. These courses are primarily held at CHDS, with some courses conducted in the region. The courses are designed to give participants a solid foundation concerning the issues confronting the defense and security sectors. These foundational courses normally are prerequisites to the advanced courses, which were introduced in 2007. For further information please review the course descriptions and candidate profiles available on this website and/or contact the Admissions Office at chdsRegistrar@ndu.edu.
