Radio and TV University is part-time, and only those who are recruited can be full-time. RTVU is regarded as a typical non-threshold enrollment, and students call it a real "non-walled" university.

Its characteristic is that as long as you have relevant academic qualifications, you can sign up for study without passing the entrance examination. RTVU education implements the credit system, which lasts for two years and is valid for eight years. RTVU has an independent school-running system, its own campus, equipment and fixed teachers, and can issue RTVU diplomas.

The Central Radio and TV University was renamed as the National Open University, which mainly used computer network, satellite TV, written and audio-visual teaching materials and other media to carry out teaching, and implemented a school-running and management system of overall planning, graded running and graded management. The pedagogy of RTVU is called "open education", which generally refers to modern distance education and refers to the teaching mode using TV and network.

The main teaching mode of RTVU is distance education. Distance education refers to the collection, design, development and utilization of various educational resources and the construction of educational environment by specific educational organizations, and provides educational services for students based on technology, educational resources and educational environment in a certain social period.

And for the purpose of teaching and socializing, organize some group meetings and exchange activities for students (in the traditional face-to-face way or modern electronic way) to help and promote students' distance learning.
