The Language Centre (LC) is the youngest academic centre in the National Defence University of Malaysia. Formerly known as the Centre for Liberal and Language Studies (CLLS), the centre has been restructured to accomodate the new needs of the university. The Department of Nationhood and Civilisation has been transfered to one other faculty in the university effective 1 June 2012.

The centre aims at promoting borderless knowledge and skills required by future military and civilian officers of Malaysia. The courses offered by the centre are compulsory University courses - English language courses and foreign language courses including Arabic, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Japanese and Russian. For our future expansion, more courses will be offered and they can take the form of elective courses such as critical thinking and reading, study skills, English literature and many more.

The centre would like to extend its gratitude to the staff leaving for another faculty. With this restructuring, the centre now has 28 academic staff and 5 administration staff. 2016 will see a greater expansion in terms of staffing as well as teaching facilities such as laboratories and studios. It will be a fruitful year for all, at the centre and the University.
