Korea Maritime University

There are no boundaries or obstacles which KMOU cannot overcome as we live in the ocean. Over Korea to the world! KMOU plays a central role in helping Korea navigate through the five oceans and six continents. KMOU, based on Jinhae Marine Officer School established in 1919, was developed in 1945 by Dr. Lee Si-Hyeong who pursued Korea’s development through the sea. The footprint made by KMOU for the past 90 years is just the history of Korea’s development and growth in the sea. KMOU is the only maritime-specialized university in Korea, leading the marine industry, which is the core industry of Korea, and contributing to the nation's economy. Since its foundation in 1945, we have educated many marine human resources focusing on the fields of maritime affairs, engineering, sciences and social sciences. KMOU is the place where young people, who want to challenge the ocean, study and research. They want to pour their passion to the ocean, which is the future of the people of the world. Based on KMOU's traditional honor and prestige, we pursue our goal of being the world class maritime research oriented university and training the future global ocean leader. KMOU campus has world-class facilities and infrastructures. The construction of the ocean cluster in cooperation with related public institutes will help KMOU to contribute to more creative and forward-looking marine education and research.
