In 1962, Major General (later on Lieutenant General) Sahabzada Yaqub Khan, Commandant Army Staff College, known for his military genius and intellectual acumen, was asked to plan a war course to be run at Command and Staff College Quetta.The first Army War Course, comprising twelve participants (including one each from Navy and Air Force) commenced on 1st May 1963 under the auspices of Army Staff College Quetta. In 1965, the strength of the course was raised to 16. Owing to Pak-India war of 1965, there was no course in 1966. Realizing the need for a separate institution, National Defence College (NDC) was established at Lalkurti Rawalpindi on 28th May 1970, in the old National Assembly Building, known as Ayub Hall. Later on, a permanent building of NDC was built, where the College remained located for next 25 years. Major General Abdul Hamid Khan, SQA, was the first Commandant of NDC, whereas, Brigadier Muhammad Ahmed, SJ, was the Chief Instructor (War Wing).In 1971, Army War Course was re-designated as ‘Armed Forces War Course’ and the strength of the course was raised to 20, including three officers each from Navy and Air Force. In 1975, on the directions of the then Prime Minister Mr Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the College was affiliated with Federal University of Islamabad (now Quaid-i-Azam University), for the award of Degrees of MSc (War Studies) to the participants of Armed Forces War Course. Owing to scarcity of space for expansion of the College in Lalkurti, the then President, General Muhammad Zia Ul Haq, took the decision in February 1980 to shift the College to Islamabad. The College was accordingly shifted to newly constructed building in Islamabad on 14th August 1995.In 2007, NDC was upgraded to University level and War College was awarded the status of Armed Forces War College within the University. At present, the College functions as a component part of National Defence University, as the university stands chartered since March 2007. In February 2009, the decision was taken in a conference of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee to merge War Course and National Defence Course into one integrated course, re-designated as ‘National Security and War Course’. The course consists of two terms: National Security (NS) Term and Military Strategy (MS) Term.

A well-designed university for both military officers and civil students.

What a remarkable piece of construction and intellectual mind development.Would love to be here.

This is the first university in Pakistan offering the best degree in social sciences, Military Sciences and Management sciences ever the best in the world class university. Living here as an alumni and staff members you will never find the best environment in Islamabad as well in the whole country. I am a staff member and working since 8 years, I found this place as a hub of research and mental growth the very cool congenial environment for learning and mental satisfaction. I wish you all the best for being alumni at this institute.

A National but International level high profile world wide known and an excellent opportunity for Pakistan civil citizens.

A very good educational institution which is trying to rise the youth of Pakistan to knowledge which he doesnt know. And also its vision is same. Faculty of contemporary studies. This institution is the proud of Pakistan.
