Education is based on the latest knowledge on militarism, research and development in both national and international scales and internal research to provide for wide and general graduate profiles for their better assertion and career promotion under variable conditions of military environment. The versatile education enables the University graduates a better position also in civilian life.Rather than special positions at the military units or facilities , the UoD education is to educate the students in knowledge allowing them to cope with control and command action requests. The students receive military and leadership skills mostly in extramural military training periods, within the basic training, basic officer course and special officer course. The comprehensive formation of the students – Czech military professionals-to-be – emphasises personality of a commander, cell officer or surgeon, high theoretical knowledge and practical readiness, physical condition, psychic hardness and language training. The UoD graduates are also ready and trained for engagement in the units deployed out of national territory and within the NATO actions.
