Approved by the Education Department of Henan Province, our College, in partnership with the University of Bolton, UK, has launched a higher vocational education program in Big Data Technology.

This three-year full-time program is scheduled to enroll students in September 2024. Students will complete their three-year studies at Henan Vocational College of Water Conservancy and Environment (HWEC).
