About
War College (Finnish: Sotakorkeakoulu, abbreviated SKK) is a Finnish war college, nowadays the senior part of the National Defence University. The college was an independent organisation from 1924 to 1992. Founded first as a temporary institute, it was made permanent in 1930. At the end of 1992, it was merged with the Cadet School (Finnish: Kadettikoulu) and the Battle School (Finnish: Taistelukoulu) into the National Defence University.
During its existence, the War College provided general staff officer education for officers of the Finnish military, continuing education for staff officers who had already graduated, and courses for top decision makers of the Finnish society. Starting from 1980s, it also housed the Department of Military Science, and under it the Office of Military History and the Military Museum of Finland.
