The NASBU is the only institution of its kind in Ukraine and provides candidates with all the education they need to become an officer in the SBU. The curriculum covers a multitude of topics taught by four internal institutes:
Educational and Scientific Institute of Counterintelligence
Educational and Scientific Institute for Development of SBU Personnel
Educational and Scientific Institute of Information Security
Educational and Scientific Centre of Language Training
Candidates learn how to counter current and future threats to the country. The NASBU offers language training in 11 languages. There are courses on national security, cyber security, legal studies, counter intelligence and many more. By the time they graduate, candidates are expected to master over 40 disciplines. However, the curriculum is constantly changing in response to the security environment in Ukraine. As new threats emerge, the Academy adapts to prepare candidates to fight them.
