Hong Kong Nang Yan College of Higher Education (HKNYC)（Chinese: 香港能仁專上學院）is a private higher education provider in Hong Kong. The College was founded in 1969 as the Hong Kong Buddhist College (HKBC), and changed its name in 2014 when it was granted accreditation from the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) for its associate degree programmes.[1] The College is a registered nonprofit organisation.[2] In 2014 the Education Bureau, and the Chief Executive approved the application by the College to use the moniker Hok Yuen (學院) as part of its official name.[3] The NYC features are small class size and scholarships and bursaries are provided to students.
