  2. Need for Change in professional Military Education at the UoD • Changes in broader security environment: • Growing complexity and dynamics, • International environment; • Changes in educational system: • European Qualification Framework/CZ National Qualification Framework • Changes inside the Czech Armed Forces: • Professionalization, • Operations abroad (deployment tempo), • New career system; • Changes inside the UoD: • Necessity to increase costeffectiveness.

  3. Parameters of Key Changes • „Demand driven“ system of education (teaching contents driven by requirements of the CAF GS/MoD. • More general basis of education(graduate = officer – commander in given branch, not officer – specialist). • Long-term approach to educating and shaping personalities of future officers according to requirements of the CAF (five years MSc. degree program). • Linking theory and practice (basic training + 13 months of practical training and internships). • Focusing on military characteristics of education and the ability to adapt to changing needs of the CAF (all students trained primary as officers - platoon leaders). • Reduction of the number of study branches enabling for rationalization and enhancing efficiency of the process (number of branches/modules based on MoD/CAF requirement).
