Founded as an institution for higher military education within the Swedish Armed Forces, the SEDU today is an independent higher education institution that offers education at all academic levels - bachelor, master and doctoral.- for civilian students as well as military officers.

The Swedish Defence University educates all officers in the Swedish Armed Forces and is the driver of academic development of the officer's profession.
