Dates: 1772 -
The Defence College of Management and Technology (DCMT) is a British postgraduate school and research institution. Until 2002 it was known as Royal Military College of Science; it has roots back to 1772.
DCMT is part of the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom, and as such part of the British Armed Forces. Since 1984 Cranfield University has been the main academic provider of the College. A November 2005 contract extends the Cranfield relationship with DCMT to at least 2027.
The College is based, like the majority of Defence Academy institutions, at MOD Shrivenham, located between the villages of Shrivenham and Watchfield in the south-west corner of Oxfordshire (Vale of White Horse). DCMT facilities at Shrivenham are run by Serco Defence and Aerospace.
