“When people mention the word 'Psychology', the next word they say is 'HELP', which illustrates how HELP has become synonymous with psychology. Studying psychology is training for the mind. We are constantly challenged to think out of the box, not only in the academic field but in our day to day life. At the end of the day, I hope to be a more understanding person to be able to make a difference in people’s lives.”

Bachelor of Psychology 1st year student, from Sri Utama International School


“The main reason I chose to pursue my degree in psychology at HELP University College was because of the wide variety of expertise of the academic staff in the faculty. Since they specialize in different areas in psychology and counselling, I can get first-hand information regarding the field of interest which I would like to know more about. One major reason which I have learned from the lecturers is not to blindly accept all information, but rather to be able to think independently and critically, just as a scholar would.”
