Lord Sarfraz has been selected on the one year course of the Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS), the senior college of the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom.
The Royal College of Defence Studies offers a post-graduate degree level course in strategic leadership and international strategic studies, focusing on defence and security issues at the grand strategic level – the level at which governments take decisions on these issues both nationally and within the international community.
The course represents the pinnacle of military education and is designed for one-star officers (Commodores, Brigadiers or Air Commodores) prior to promotion to 2-star (Rear Admiral, Major General or Air Vice-Marshal).
He will attend the course alongside senior military officers from 46 counties.
