The Korea National Open University is the national open university of Korea.

KNOU was founded in 1972 as a branch of Seoul National University. It began by offering a two-year junior college programme to 12,000 students and now has over 200,000 full-time, degree-seeking students for four-year university programs and some part-time students for non-degree, lifelong education programs. It also offers online postgraduate programs in several major areas.

The university has campuses in 12 major cites of South Korea including the capital, Seoul.
