Pusan National University

Pusan National University (PNU), also called Busan National University, is one of ten national Universities in South Korea. Located mainly in Busan (or Pusan), the university's English name is a translation of its former Korean name, "Gungnip Pusan Daehakgyo" (국립 부산 대학교), but has since dropped "national" from its Korean moniker.

Not to be confused with Busan National University of Education.
