The National Military Academy of Afghanistan was a public military academy in Afghanistan that trained officers for the Afghan National Army and Afghan Air Force while also awarding a four-year bachelor’s degree. It suited students seeking military officer training as well as a college-level degree, but the academy was officially shut down after August 15, 2021.
The academy focused on four-year military development and officer commissioning for the Afghan National Army and the Afghan Air Force. Its mission was to produce officers for the Afghan Armed Forces who also completed a four-year college-level bachelor’s degree. The programme catalogue is no longer active because the academy was officially shut down.
Admission was tied to military officer training rather than a standard civilian university intake. Anyone checking current admission possibilities should confirm directly through the official site or the relevant Afghan authorities, because the academy is no longer operating.
The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs would depend on where a student studies and the cost of local accommodation, food, and transport, but no current institutional cost information is available because the academy is closed.
The language of instruction is not published. A student moving from abroad would need to confirm the language used, whether the academy is operating, and how military eligibility, visa, and degree recognition would work before applying.
Afghanistan has 40 universities, and this institution was unlike a typical civilian university because it was a public military academy with an officer-commissioning mission. For applicants interested in military service and a degree together, it stood apart from the country’s broader university sector, but it is no longer open.

The National Military Academy of Afghanistan (NMAA) was one of three academic institutions of the Kabul National Defense University.

The academy was based upon the United States Military Academy and United States Air Force Academy. After the fall of Kabul on August 15, 2021, to the Taliban, and the simultaneous collapse of the Afghan National Army and Afghan Air Force the same day, the Academy was officially shut down.
