Academic Student Activities

Psychology Research Colloquium

This is an in-house research conference held twice a year in March and July which gives HELP Psychology students the opportunity to present their research to their peers and faculty staff. It reflects our commitment to train students in how to design, implement, analyse, and report research in psychology.

The Psychology Movie Festival 

This is held 3 times a year in February, June and October. For one weekend, HELP is transformed into a Cineplex and 8-10 movies that illustrate different aspects of psychology are screened. Students are required to write reviews that demonstrate their ability to apply what they have learnt in their lectures to the movies they watch.
